Alternative to RoboVM for iOS

A while ago RoboVM, our solution for running DukeScript applications on iPads and iPhones, was first commercialized and later abandonded. Our current workflow is based on the last Open Source version which still works fine.

In the meantime a fork of the original project exists, which is under active development. In order to use this fork, you can simply change the dependencies in your pom to this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.mobidevelop.robovm</groupId>
    <artifactId>robovm-cocoatouch</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
    <type>jar</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.mobidevelop.robovm</groupId>
    <artifactId>robovm-rt</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
    <type>jar</type>
</dependency>

Note that we haven’t tested this heavily yet. So we’re happy to hear your feedback in case you find any issues. If we find it stable enough we’ll either switch to this fork in our archetypes, or add it as an alternative.

Have fun coding DukeScript!
