Is anyone actively using macruby to build apps there, and are there any known issues with the rules as mentioned in the beginning of this thread for the OSX app store? ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel

MacRuby does not work on iOS.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] MacRuby in the Mac App Store
Scott, I think the discussion is about the OS X app store. And as far as I know, there is no official word from Apple about that. - Matt On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 7:25 AM, Scott Ribe wrote: > MacRuby does not work on iOS. > > On Oct 25, 2010, at 7:55 AM, Jason Guiditta wrote: > > > Is anyone actively using macruby to build apps there > > > -- > Scott Ribe > [email protected] > http://www.elevated-dev.com/ > (303) 722-0567 voice > > > > > ___ > MacRuby-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel > ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel

This discussion certainly was (maybe still is) about that, but the post I was responding asked about iOS. -- Scott Ribe [email protected] http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel
Re: [MacRuby-devel] Mixing ruby code with Objective-C code within a Cocoa project...
I can see the use of Ruby in doing some intense data massaging, like string/math/dates sort of processing that would be quite verbose in Objective C. I'm thinking of using Ruby in place of plain 'C' (or Perl) in doing some rudimentary stuff such as that. I'm somewhat aware of the Ruby/Objective-C APIs out there... and the paradigm of doing such, albeit I haven't come across formal documentation yet. As to the IOS... ... I'm assuming that Ruby support for the iOS platform will be a reality sometime in the not-to-distant future; particularly when OS X & iOS appear to be merging ... somewhat Ric.

However, if the reply from earlier that 'it compiles down to objective-c anyway' is correct (which is what I thought was the case), perhaps it doesn't matter for either store? ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel

No, MacRuby apps do not work on iOS. MacRuby uses garbage collection, which iOS does not support. -- Scott Ribe [email protected] http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ___ MacRuby-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel

Or am I > doing something dumb? Looks like this function has the following declaration: extern AXError AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue (AXUIElementRef element, CFStringRef attribute, CFTypeRef *value); So, the 3rd argument is is a CF object returned by reference. You should be able to do the following then: ptr = Pointer.new(:id) AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue(mail_object, 'AXHidden', ptr) value = ptr[0] To reply to your other question, it is possible to cast the type of a Pointer object, using the #cast! method. Sometimes this is useful when you get a void pointer from a native API and want to cast it into something more useful. But you should be careful, MacRuby will not prevent you from doing bad casts.
