Colors

A simple app to test out Cordova/Phonegap basics.

Environment Prereqs

You should have the following minimally setup:

• Git (duh)
• Node.js

Initial Project Setup

$ git clone git@github.com:bergren2/colors.git
$ cd colors
$ npm install -g cordova

Development

Browser

$ cordova serve

Then visit localhost:8000.

iOS Emulator

$ cordova emulate ios

Run on iPhone

$ cordova run ios

Caveats

If it's your first time trying to run the emulator or on the iPhone, you may need to install additional components. You will be prompted when this happens.

Deployment

Beta Testing

Check out the Apple Documentation, specifically "Ad Hoc Testing".

First, make sure the intended test device is properly registered on the Apple Developer Member Center, and then that it is properly displaying in Xcode under "Windows > Devices".

After running cordova build ios --device, open platforms/ios/Colors.xcodeproj in Xcode. Then do the following:

1. "Product > Archive" to create an archive.
2. Open "Window > Organizer" and then choose the "Archives" tab.
3. Select "Export" and then "Save for Ad Hoc Development".
4. Double-click the .ipa file you just created. This should open iTunes.
5. In iTunes, open your tethered device and go to Apps, where you should see your app. Click "Install" and apply the changes.
