Makepad version of the Wonderous application

• work in progress
• starting with screens for China first

git clone [email protected]:makepad/makepad.git

git branch rik

cd ~/makepad
cargo install --path ./tools/cargo_makepad

git clone https://github.com/project-robius/makepad_wonderous

Running on Desktop is the quickest way to try out an example app.

cd ~/projects/makepad_wonderous
cargo run

or

cd ~/projects/makepad_wonderous
cargo run -p makepad_wonderous

And there should be a desktop application window now running (may need to click on the icon on MacOS's Dock to show it)

rustup toolchain install nightly
cargo makepad android install-toolchain

Open either the Android emulator or connect to a real Android device use adb command to make sure there's a device connected properly

cd ~/projects/makepad_wonderous
cargo makepad android run -p makepad_wonderous --release

rustup toolchain install nightly
cargo makepad apple ios install-toolchain

For iOS, the process is slightly more complicated. The steps involved are:

1. Enable your iPhone's Developer Mode, please see instructions here: Enable Developer Mode
2. Setup an Apple Developer account
3. Setup an empty skeleton project in XCode
   1. File -> New -> Project to create a new "App"
   2. Set the Product Name as makepad_wonderous (used in --org later)
   3. Set the Organization Identifier to a value of your choice, for this example we will use rs.robius. (used in --app later)
   4. Setup the Project Signing & Capabilities to select the proper team account
4. In XCode, Build/Run this project to install and run the app on the simulator and device
5. Once the simulator and device has the "skeleton" app installed and running properly, then it is ready for Makepad to install its application.

We will run the cargo makepad apple ios command, similar to Android build above, but there are some 2 to 6 additional parameters that need to be filled in:

--org

First few parts of the organization identifier (which makes up the Bundle Identifier), usually in the form of com.somecompany or org.someorg

This is the same value used to setup the initial skeleton app above. For this example:

rs.robius

--app

The name of the application or the project. This is the same as the Product Name used to setup the initial skeleton app above. In this case:

makepad_wonderous

cd ~/makepad_wonderous
cargo makepad apple ios \
  --org=rs.robius \
  --app=makepad_wonderous \
  run-sim -p makepad_wonderous --release

First run the following command:

cd ~/projects/makepad
cargo makepad apple list

This command will print out the list of all provisioning profiles, signing identities, and device identifiers on the current system. The user has to decide and choose the ones that he/she needs to use for each type.

Once decided, run the folloiwng command and fill in the unique starting characters chosen from the output.

cargo makepad apple ios \
 --provisioning-profile=unique-starting-hex-string \
 --signing-identity=UNIQUE_STARTING_HEX_STRING \
 --device-identifier=UNIQUE-STARTING-HEX-STRING \
 --org=rs.robius \
 --app=makepad_wonderous \
 run-device -p makepad_wonderous –release

Running the Makepad application as a WASM build is as simple as a single command. The sript will automatically generate the necessary index.html and other files and also start a local webserver at port 8010.

cargo makepad wasm install-toolchain

cargo makepad wasm run -p makepad_wonderous --release

After running the command below, just open your browser to http:https://127.0.0.1:8010/ in order for the app to load and run.
