[Pharo-project] Pharo/Squeak an iOS
First of all - I hope this isn't a bit off topic for this list. If it is, someone give me kick and I'll ask elsewhere... I've noticed some posts in the past showing Squeak or Pharo running on iPhones, but haven't paid close attention to them. Now I've gone and bought myself an iPad and all of a sudden I want nothing more than to write software for it using Smalltalk... Is there a feasible route for getting applications written in Smalltalk onto a *non-jailbroken* iPad? I'm well aware of Apple's restriction on allowing programmable systems onto the iPhone/iPad, but I'm looking more at writing some sort of simple game which just happens to have been written in Smalltalk and ultimately getting it into the AppStore. Any pointers to interesting information? regards, Steve
There's a talk John McIntosh gave at Smalltalk solutions about his adventures with Apple and the iPhone scratch app - http://www.stic.st/events/smalltalk-solutions-2011-abstracts/scratching-the-... John has made the code available: http://bit.ly/em3uZc On 11 July 2011 07:24, Steve Taylor <stephen.taylor@bom.gov.au> wrote:

There is an EToys for the iPad You just have to subscribe as a beta tester http://etoys.squeak.org/experimental/ipad/ http://etoys.squeak.org/experimental/ipad/ -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Squeak-an-iOS-tp3658790p3659751.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Thanks to all who replied. I'll be sure to report back to the list if I succeed in making anything pretty. Steve
