Announcing MacRuby In Action

• xutopia 15y ago
  Does the Mac app store allow MacRuby applications in there or is it more open than the iPhone app store?
  • jballanc 15y ago
    There are already a good number of MacRuby applications available for purchase from the Mac app store. Here's some information on the process: https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/wiki/Mac-App-Store-Submission https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/wiki/Mac-App-Store-Submis...

  If you're eager to try out MacRuby, please either download the 0.11 release from Github (https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/downloads https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/downloads), or the latest nightly build (http://www.macruby.org/files/nightlies/ http://www.macruby.org/files/nightlies/). The nightlies are currently rather stable as we are nearing the 0.12 release. If you use RVM, I believe the latest version they offer is 0.10, which contains a number of bugs that have since been fixed.

  It sounds like the obj-c garbage collector is deprecated in 10.8. Is there any plan for MacRuby to work without it?
  • jballanc 15y ago
    Yes. It's also worth noting that while Apple will stop shipping the Obj-C GC, it is also an OSS project that anyone can fork/ship if they really wanted to.
    • chrisdevereux 15y ago
      Cool. Although since GC needs to be supported by all code in a process, it's not enough to just fork the GC and ship that. I'd worry that if Apple stop building the system frameworks (which you definitely can't fork...) with GC support, any GC application will fail at launch. Is there a way round that? I hope there is, because other than that, MacRuby is pretty awesome.
