Hi there,

Has anyone been able to build on xcode7 for IOS9? I'm getting this error when trying to build from xcode:
rake aborted!
cannot load such file -- rest_client
/Users/lisatassone/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/gems/rhodes-5.0.38/lib/build/rhohub.rb:3:in `'

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

If I try building via cli, I get this:

ld: '/Users/lisatassone/workspace/simproconnectv3/project/iphone/build/rhorunner.build/Release-iphoneos/rhorunner.build/libSignature.a(signature_api_init.o)' does not contain bitcode. You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. for architecture armv7

** BUILD FAILED **

The same project worked on xcode 6.4. Things I have tried:

Enabling/disabling bitcode (don't know if that even an issue).
Upgrading to 5.2.2 which I can't because the 5.2.2 gem won't install.  I have even tried building the gem from git but it won't build (missing manifest)
gem install rest_client
recreating xcode project

Thanks for the info/tips everyone.  I'll keep my eye out for updates to support xcode7/ios9.
@Bhakta Satapathy I don't seem to have those options in the Info.plist so I can't test if that works :/

As for rest_client, just add it to the GemSet that you use for your Rhodes version (you DO use a GemSet for each version, right? ) manually.

    gem install rest_client

I gather this is used for license validation. I guess it is missing from the Gem dependencies, but must be installed when you install the Suite. (I never use the suite, just the Gem...)

Also, if you use Ruby 2.x, the Gem dependencies put an upper constraint on the version of JSON used, and it won't be satisfied for Ruby 2.x. And, so, that's one of the little changes I make on my Rhodes fork. (I will add rest_client as well now, it's an omission because I forget that I installed it manually.)

I doubt this gets you iOS9/XCode7, though, because based on my review of checkins in the Tau repo, I see that it took a lot of code change for them to support it!

Since it is open source, Zebra can adopt that code, hint, hint!

Even 5.2.2 doesn't support iOS9/XCode 7.

As far as building/installing the Gem, I do so routinely, but I make some light changes first. My fork might be useful. The small changes are described in (closed) Issues #1,2,3 on Github for the fork:

watusi/rhodes at watusi-5-2-stable · GitHub

But I wouldn't expect it to work with iOS9/XCode 7, since I see Tau Platform (Rhodes fork) had to make a LOT of changes for that. Maybe Rhodes will adopt those changes?

tauplatform/tau · GitHub

Not sure exactly what direction Tau Platform is going, but at this point, it is essentially identical with 5.2.2 with iOS9/XCode7 support. I haven't tried it yet, though.

Hello Lisa,
Rhomobile does not officially support for IOS9. The support will be available in upcoming release.
But to build and run your application using Rhomobile 5.0.38, follow the below steps.

1: Info.plist changes.

NSAppTransportSecurity

 
        NSAllowsArbitraryLoads
 

2: Disable bitcode in build settings.

Note: With these cahanges you can launch application on devices not on ios9 simulator.

Thanks
Bhakta
