xcode-shapes
Xcode project for building apps using Shapes template in Swift Playgrounds for iPad. You can design and test your app on iPad and migrate the code to Mac for enhances and App Store submission.
Instructions
- In Swift Playgrounds for iPad, start new playgroundbook (by pressing "+") and select Shapes template.
- Create a new page or delete all code on one of the existing pages
- Copy the sample code from Shapes/Contents.swift to an empty page of open playground
- Design, test, and run your program as normal, all within
Contentsclass. Add new functions to this class, and high level code into run() method of this class - After you are done, you will need to copy the code from iPad to Mac. Please note that "Create PDF" feature in Swift Playgrounds creates an image-based file without text information, so it is impossible to copy and paste text from it. On Mac, open the xcode-shapes project (Shapes.xcodeproj) with Xcode. On iPad, select all code in Swift Playgrounds, copy it and paste:
- if you have Universal Clipboard turned on — directly to Xcode for Mac into Shapes/Contents.swift file, replacing everything in it, OR
- to some 3rd place, like GitHubGist, where you can access the code from your Mac
- If you added any images or other files into your code on iPad, you need to add the same files into Resources folder in xcode-shapes project (Shapes.xcodeproj) on Mac
- Try to build and run your app. If something does not work, try compiling the original code first.
