Droidscript iOS

[Kelechi Ekezie]

Hello everyone

Since I started using Droidscript few years ago, there have been talks of using Droidscript to create iOS apps, I want to know if it is still being developed or it was scrapped?

I think the project has been abandoned, I signed up 2 years ago as a test but I never received an answer. I am currently using react native with great professional satisfaction and I can produce native ios apps without great difficulty

Hi Guys,

If you create your DroidScript app using the Hybrid ui.* components, then you can easily convert your app to IOS (I've done this numerous times for one of my customers).  

I can share an IOS project that I used to achieve that.  It's basically a Swift project that wraps up a webkit WebView and I seem to remember that it provides a few native app.* calls as well but very few compared to DS, so as long as most of your functionality is done with Hybrid or HTML, then you are ok.  Note: I did add support for BluetoothLE.

Perhaps we should make this project open source and someone might like to contribute to it by adding more of the missing native parts?

FYI.  I've just sent my latest XCode project to Jumar and asked him to tidy it up so it's ready to publish on GitHub :)

When exporting a DS project to IOS, It should just be a case of renaming the xcode project and dropping in your DS project files into the 'Assets' folder of the xcode project.

I expect that someone can come up with a nice exporter extension for DS to make this even easier.
