- dangoor 14y agoYou should be able to make iOS apps with Python. Plenty of iOS apps have interpreters. You just can't download and run code from the net. (See, for example, Codea which lets you write and run Lua programs right on the iPad. There are similar Python systems there.)
- qznc 14y agoIt uses cython, which means "Python compiled to C" http://cython.org/ http://cython.org/ https://github.com/kivy/kivy-ios https://github.com/kivy/kivy-ios
- yitchelle 14y agoSo the end to end build is not yet available out of the box?
- toyg 14y agoThere's a tutorial which looks slightly old: http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-ios.html http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-ios.html If Kivy wants to become "the primary Python for iOS" rather than just "yet another cross-platform Python implementation which nobody uses for serious iOS projects", they have to nail packaging more convincingly.
- txprog 14y agoWe embed the python interpreter with your python app inside an iOS app. Then, we have a bootstrap in objective-c that start the interpreter on your main.py file. ProcessCraft and Deflectouch are made with this approach, and are available on the app store :)
