meteor Mobile Apps Meteor Cordova Architecture Pipeline
Example
Now it's time to go through the Meteor Cordova Phonegap Integration documentation.
Since that documentation was written, XCode and Yosemite have been released, which has caused some hiccups in installation. Here are the steps we had to go through to get Meteor compiled to an iOS device.
- Upgrade to Yosemite.
- Delete XCode (drag from Applications folder to Trashcan)
- Install XCode 6.1 from app store.
- Agree to various terms and conditions.
# 5. clone and rebuild the ios-sim locally # (this step will not be needed in future releases) git clone https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim.git cd ios-sim rake build # 6. make sure we can update the .meteor/packages locations # (this step will not be needed in future releases) sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.meteor/packages # 7. copy the new build into Meteor locations # (this step will not be needed in future releases) for i in `find ~/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/ -name ios-sim -type f`; do cp -R ./build/Release/ios-sim "$i" done # 8. install the ios platform to your app cd myapp meteor list-platforms meteor add-platform ios meteor list-platforms # 9. and that there aren't dead processes ps -ax kill -9 <pid> # /Users/abigailwatson/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.1.0.35.wql4jh++os.osx.x86_64+web.browser+web.cordova/meteor-tool-os.osx.x86_64/dev_bundle/mongodb/bin/mongod # tail -f /Users/abigailwatson/Code/Medstar/dart/webapp/.meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/ios/cordova/console.log # 10. make sure there are correct permissions on the application (important!) sudo chmod -R 777 .meteor/local/ # 11. run app meteor run ios # 12. if that doesn't work, clear the directory sudo rm -rf .meteor/local # 13a. run meteor again to create the default browser build meteor # 13b. run it a second time so bootstrap and other packages get downloaded into the browser build ctrl-x meteor # 14. then run the ios version ctrl-x meteor run ios
XCode should launch during the process. Select your simulator and press the 'Play' button.
