Processing + OSX, XCode, and iOS ?

in Integration and Hardware • 2 years ago

What's the status of building Processing with XCode? I've looked around, and it does not seem people are talking about it much. Is it do-able (specifically for OS X 10.7 and XCode 4.2)?

And what about creating iOS apps with Processing (for the actual app store). Is this out of the question, or are there ways to do it (aside from Processing.js)?

Take a look at iProcessing.

iProcessing looks like it should be excellent, but I can't find any documentation for how the heck to get started. The closest thing is this post on CreativeApplications.net from early 2010, in which the author notes that they couldn't actually get the examples to work on their phone (though a couple of commenters seem to have had more luck). It seems like the actual creators forgot to explain how to do anything with their work, and decided against providing any obvious way to contact them?

Does anyone have any updates, or suggestions?

thanks Jeff. yes, I saw iProcessing, and read the page. my questions is: since it is entirely JavaScript, does it have all of the same capability and processing power and Processing (I would imagine not). and does anyone have any experience with publishing iProcessing apps to the AppStore?

Sounds like Oracle is working hard to get Java on iOS. If this happens, Processing will port too right?

(see bottom of blog, posted Oct 5, 2011):

" The most interesting announcement came when Oracle demoed both Java and JavaFX applications running on a Windows tablet, an iPad, and a "Linux-based tablet". To achieve iOS compliance, Oracle is working on an enhanced compiler that takes your Java application, unchanged, compiles it with the JVM built within it, and bundles it as a fully-compliant iOS application that meets Apple's requirements. Currently, this JVM is a variant of Java ME's CDC JVM, and depends on some enhancements that are not yet final, but this offers promise that Java applications will run on mobile devices and tablets in the near future."
