[Biococoa-dev] BioCocoa on iOS ?

[Koen van der Drift]

Hi Scott,

It seems not to be that straightforward. It is possible though, I know the CorePlot project did it and there must be more.  But for now, I'll just copy parts of the framework in my own app and use it directly, I also think there is too much old crud and/or OSX specific code in the project that wouldn't even compile for iOS and need lots of rewrite.

It is not for a research project, just for my personal and hopefully others' interest. I definitely plan to release it. Learning iOS (I highly recommend the book by Hillegass) has been a fun ride so far.

Cheers,

- Koen.

It is in the Applications directory called deChellyMobile.  I didn't get very far, mostly learned how to use the TabController.  Some friends were suppose to help me develop but it didn't work out. ;-)

I thought there was some stuff on the web where you could include a framework inside your app, but I'm not sure.  So you cannot just use the BioCocoa Xcode project to target iOS, you need to create a brand new Xcode project.  I didn't get far enough along in my app to figure out how to integrate BioCocoa.
