- The best-selling introduction to Cocoa, once again updated to cover the latest Mac programming technologies, and still enthusiastically recommended by experienced Mac OS X developers. “Aaron’s book is the gold - Selection from Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, Third Edition Book.
- Next, download Virtual Box for Mac OS X from here. Install both Genymotion and Virtual Box. Open the Genymotion app. Sign in to your Genymotion account in order to get a full list of phones to emulate. Once the list is up, choose your phone (I chose an HTC One running Android 4.2.2).
The installer for Cocos Creator for Mac is a.dmg (disk image) file. Double-click on the.dmg file, and drag CocosCreator.app to your Application folder shortcut, or any other location. Then double-click the copy of the CocosCreator.app to get started.
Step 1 : Open terminal and type:
Gem will get installed in Ruby inside System library. Or try on 10.11 Mac OSX El Capitan, type:
If there is an error “activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.xx”, then install latest activesupport first by typing in terminal.
Step 2 : After installation, there will be a lot of messages, read them and if no error found, it means cocoapods installation is done. Next, you need to setup the cocoapods master repo. Type in terminal:
Coco Climber Mac Os Update
pod setup
Coco Climber Mac Os X
And wait it will download the master repo. The size is very big (370.0MB at Dec 2016). So it can be a while. You can track of the download by opening Activity and goto Network tab and search for git-remote-https. Alternatively you can try adding verbose to the command like so:
pod setup --verbose
Step 3 : Once done it will output “Setup Complete”, and you can create your XCode project and save it.
Step 4 : Then in terminal cd to “your XCode project root directory” (where your .xcodeproj file resides) and type:
pod init
Step 5 : Then open your project’s podfile by typing in terminal:
open -a Xcode Podfile
Step 6 : Your Podfile will get open in text mode. Initially there will be some default commands in there. Here is where you add your project’s dependencies. For example, in the podfile, type
pod 'AFNetworking', '0.9.1'
(this line is an example of adding the AFNetworking library to your project).
Other tips:
Uncomment platform :ios, '8.0' Uncomment user_frameworks! if you’re using Swift
When you are done editing the podfile, save it and close XCode.
Step 7 : Then install pods into your project by typing in terminal:
Coco Climber Mac Os Download
pod install
Depending how many libraries you added to your podfile for your project, the time to complete this varies. Once completed, there will be a message that says
“Pod installation complete! There are X dependencies from the Podfile and X total pods installed.”
Now close your xcode project and open .xcworkspace xcode project file and start coding. 🙂
