iOS Deployment Target on Windows

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

I don't have an "iOS" deployment target in my TiApp editor. I'm on a Windows box. I know that the app needs to be built/tested on a Mac, but if I don't select "iOS" as a deployment target on the Windows box, will I still be able to use that same codestream when I'm on my Mac?

Yes. Your best bet would be to just save off you js files and your resources. Then when on a mac, start a new project with the same name/ID and then unzip your js/resources into that project.

I am assuming you just want to get a head start on your project and don't want to wait. So this way should allow you to start tinkering and utilize your work.

  • Thanks Chaim. So to confirm, if I start the project on a mac and choose Android and iOS deployment targets, when i open up that same code stream from SVN on my Windows PC, the iOS deployment target will be correctly selected?

  • I wouldn't recommend going back and forth. The Appcelerator folks can give you more details, but I can tell you that they will not support it.

    The issue is that the various configuration/setting files will be interpreted every time you are opening the project. So when you open the project on a Windows box, it will see the stuff in the configuration files and complain that it isn't valid.

    All I was suggesting was that you could work on a project and then grab the javascript files and any images, sounds, etc and paste them into a project shell so you could get a head start on a project.

    If you are going to develop for iOS you can't jump back and forth. Sorry.

  • ok, great! thanks for the tips. So basically, if I want to develop for iOS and Android, I can't use a PC and have a single codestream.
