ApportableFoundation

ApportableFoundation is an open source implementation of Apple's Foundation Framework that extends Apple's open sourced CoreFoundation CFLite implementation. When paired with Apportable's freely available SpriteBuilder Android plugin, this repository provides a buildable and runnable Foundation for the Android platform.

In addition to our appreciation to Apple for open sourcing CFLite, we owe a debt of gratitude to other Foundation open source implementations - notably GNUstep and Cocotron.

More generally, Apportable has been an active open source user and contributor throughout its history.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to ApportableFoundation!

Components

ApportableFoundation consists of three modules - Foundation, CoreFoundation, and CFNetwork. It also includes several private headers required to build these three modules.

Installation

System Requirements:
- Xcode 6
- OSX 10.9+
git clone git@github.com:apportable/Foundation.git

Building and running ApportableFoundation depend upon lower level include files and libraries that are available in the Xcode Plugin that is packaged in the SpriteBuilder Android Plugin.

Install the SpriteBuilder Android plugin.
Early versions of the SpriteBuilder Android plugin are missing Xcode templates.
- Check:
  - ls -l /Library/SBAndroid/Developer/Xcode/Templates/Project\ Templates/Application/JNI\ Application.xctemplate
- If it doesn't exist:
  - cp -r XcodeTemplates/JNI\ Application.xctemplate ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/Project\ Templates/Application

Back up

Before building this repo, back up the installed version of the module you plan to build.

For example:

mkdir backup
cp -rp /"Library/SBAndroid/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework" backup
cp -rp /"Library/SBAndroid/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework" backup
cp -rp /"Library/SBAndroid/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CFNetwork.framework" backup

Xcode Build

To Build Foundation:

Open System/Foundation/Foundation.xcodeproj
Click the Build arrow in Xcode
sudo rm -rf "/Library/SBAndroid/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework"
sudo cp -rp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework "/Library/SBAndroid/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks"/

Similar for CoreFoundation and CFNetwork.

Note that the SpriteBuilder Android plugin must be installed.

Command Line Build

cd System/Foundation
xcodebuild -config Debug
or xcodebuild -config Release
sudo rm -rf "/Library/SBAndroid/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework"
sudo cp -rp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework "/Library/SBAndroid/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Platforms/Android.platform/Developer/SDKs/SBAndroid0.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks"/

Similar for CoreFoundation and CFNetwork.
