Minimum Requirements

The minimum requirements to use this template are XCode 9 and RubyMotion 5.0.

Keep in mind that if you've recently upgraded from a previous versions of XCode or RubyMotion, you'll want to run rake clean:all as opposed to just rake clean.

Build

To build using the default simulator, run: rake (alias rake simulator).

To run on a specific type of simulator. You can run rake simulator device_name="SIMULATOR". Here is a list of simulators available:

• `rake simulator device_name='iPhone 5s'
• `rake simulator device_name='iPhone 8 Plus'
• `rake simulator device_name='iPhone 8 Plus'
• `rake simulator device_name='iPhone X'
• `rake simulator device_name='iPad Pro (9.7-inch)'
• `rake simulator device_name='iPad Pro (10.5-inch)'
• `rake simulator device_name='iPad Pro (12.9-inch)'

Consider using https://github.com/KrauseFx/xcode-install (and other parts of FastLane) to streamline management of simulators, certificates, and pretty much everything else.

So, for example, you can run rake simulator device_name='iPhone X' to see what your app would look like on iPhone X.

Deploying to the App Store

To deploy to the App Store, you'll want to use rake clean archive:distribution. With a valid distribution certificate.

In your Rakefile, set the following values:

#This is only an example, the location where you store your provisioning profiles is at your discretion.
app.codesign_certificate = "iPhone Distribution: xxxxx" #This is only an example, you certificate name may be different.

#This is only an example, the location where you store your provisioning profiles is at your discretion.
app.provisioning_profile = './profiles/distribution.mobileprovision'

For TestFlight builds, you'll need to include the following line (still using the distribution certificates):

app.entitlements['beta-reports-active'] = true

Icons

As of iOS 11, Apple requires the use of Asset Catalogs for defining icons and launch screens. You'll find icon and launch screen templates under ./resources/Assets.xcassets. You can run the following script to generate all the icon sizes (once you've specified 1024x1024.png). Keep in mind that your .png files cannot contain alpha channels.

Save this following script to ./gen-icons.sh and run it:

set -x

brew install imagemagick

pushd resources/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/
