Kivy for IOS
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This toolchain is designed to compile the necessary library for iOS to run your
|
|
application, and manage the creation of the Xcode project.
|
|
|
|
Currently, we do not provide any binary distribution of this toolchain, but we
|
|
aim to do it. So you do need to compile it at least one time before being about
|
|
to create your Xcode project.
|
|
|
|
The toolchain supports:
|
|
|
|
- iPhone Simulator (x86 and x86_64)
|
|
- iPhone / iOS (armv7 and arm64)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Currently, the toolchain requires few tools to let you compile. You need:
|
|
|
|
#. Xcode 6, with iOS SDK installed / command line tools.
|
|
#. Using brew, you can install dependencies::
|
|
|
|
brew install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config
|
|
brew link libtool
|
|
|
|
#. Install Cython (0.21)::
|
|
|
|
# pip method if available (sudo might be needed.)
|
|
pip install cython==0.21
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the toolchain
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Any Python extensions or C/C++ library must be compiled: you need to have what
|
|
we call a `recipe` to compile it. For example, Python, libffi, SDL2, SDL_image,
|
|
freetype... all the dependencies, compilation and packaging instructions are
|
|
contained in a `recipe`.
|
|
|
|
You can list the available recipes and the version with::
|
|
|
|
$ ./toolchain.py recipes
|
|
freetype 2.5.5
|
|
hostpython 2.7.1
|
|
ios master
|
|
kivy ios-poly-arch
|
|
libffi 3.2.1
|
|
pyobjus master
|
|
python 2.7.1
|
|
sdl2 iOS-improvements
|
|
sdl2_image 2.0.0
|
|
sdl2_mixer 2.0.0
|
|
sdl2_ttf 2.0.12
|
|
|
|
Then, starts the compilation with::
|
|
|
|
$ ./toolchain.py build kivy
|
|
|
|
The Kivy recipe depends on severals one, like all the sdl* and python. sdl2_ttf
|
|
depends on freetype, etc. You can think as: it will compile everything
|
|
necessary for a minimal working version of Kivy.
|
|
|
|
Don't grab a coffee, just do diner. Compiling all the things the first time, 4x
|
|
(remember, 4 archs, 2 per platforms), it will take time. (todo: provide a way
|
|
to not compile for the simulator.).
|
|
|
|
Create the Xcode project
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The `toolchain.py` can create for you the initial Xcode project::
|
|
|
|
$ # ./toolchain.py create <title> <app_directory>
|
|
$ ./toolchain.py create Touchtracer ~/code/kivy/examples/demo/touchtracer
|
|
|
|
Your app directory must contain a main.py. A directory named `<title>-ios`
|
|
will be created, with an Xcode project in it.
|
|
You can open the Xcode project::
|
|
|
|
$ open touchtracer-ios/touchtracer.xcodeproj
|
|
|
|
Then click on `Play`, and enjoy.
|
|
|
|
.. notes::
|
|
|
|
Everytime you press `Play`, your application directory will be synced to
|
|
the `<title>-ios/YourApp` directory. Don't make changes in the -ios
|
|
directory directly.
