=========================== Tweaks to enhance the building and compiling of Ruby Motion files.

tasks/rm_build.rake

This file includes a variety of methods to deal with managing XCode resources in a RubyMotion project. Add the /tasks directory to your project and include the file at the top of your Rakefile. By default, the XCode project resources are expected to be in an /xcode/projectname directory of your project. This can be changed by modifying the XCODE_PROJECT_PATH of the /tasks/rm_build.rake file.

Installation

  # RubyMotionProject/Rakefile
  $:.unshift("/Library/RubyMotion/lib")
  require 'motion/project'
  
  # add this line
  import 'tasks/rm_build.rake'

  • Remove builder.rb fix for Motion version 1.5 since 1.6 fixes it.
  • Add support for Storyboard files in the nibs tasks.
  • Improved README.md
  • Added back builder.rb as the 1.5 release version has a typo in the section for building nibs.
  • Moved rake file into tasks subdirectory
  • Remove tweaked builder.rb as version 1.5 corrects all of these issues.
  • Added rm_build.rake to handle tasks of copying XCode project resources into the motion app.
  • Added support for compiling internationalized files in resources/*.lproj.
  • Fix for properly compiling XCode resources/*.xcdatamodeld files in the in resources directory. Known bug likely to be fixed in next official release.
