- rdouble 16y agoYes, the whole thing is required. In fact, my app is 34MB, the majority of which is MacRuby + the stdlib. I cobbled together a process using information found on a number of blog posts and mailing list archives which let me exclude the parts of the stdlib I wasn't using. This got the file size down to 14MB. However, I don't have any QA resources so I'm not sure if this has introduced any instability in the app. In contrast, the pure Cocoa version of this app is 4.5MB.
- maercsrats 16y agoI think the newer version of macruby, with greater bridgesupport, should help this out: http://www.macruby.org/blog/2010/10/08/bridgesupport-preview.html http://www.macruby.org/blog/2010/10/08/bridgesupport-preview...
- petercooper 16y agoWhen I'm installing even reasonably simple Mac apps, I often see the progress bar talking about sizes in the mid double digits. This sucks but is common.
