Yes! As soon as I changed the bundle ID to match the licensed framework, it worked. Thank you!
I read the RapidEars manual several times. For Swift, I am not sure it was clear that one has to add both of these lines to the OpenEarsHeader.h file:
#import <RapidEars/OEEventsObserver+RapidEars.h>
#import <RapidEars/OEPocketsphinxController+RapidEars.h>
And then after that, you have to follow your patch directions above for everything to work.
Thanks again!
