SoundCloud iOS SDK outdated?

Question

I'm developing an iOS application in which I'm planning on integrating SoundCloud. For that, I'm following SoundCloud's own guide. Their official SDK does, however, seem to be outdated. Apart from deprecated code in third party libraries which the SDK depends upon, their own SDK contains deprecated code.

Are iOS developers still supposed to use this SDK? If not, any recommendations on how to go about?

(Kyle Begeman mentioned the SDK being outdated in late December 2013, but it hasn't received any attention.)

Answer 1

The SDK seemed indeed outdated and heavy when I tried to implement it into my project recently. Because of the many unnecessary dependency projects I decided to create a custom library that is much lighter (and hopefully easier to implement).

I put it on GitHub Here

It is still WIP, but already has functionality build in to search and play tracks as well as get your own private tracks.

Answer 2

There's a SoundCloud Cocoapod written in Swift that is actively maintained on github (as of July 2016).
