    Just starting.

    My goal is to migrate from Mobione webapps (html5) to iphone native.

    can i do local builds only – or do i need remote.

    if the latter – i need to register for phone gap right?

    i can enter the test certificate numbers – but i can change them later right?

    I used the link you provided to generate – don’t i need to know the private password.

    Hi,

    Yes, you can do local builds as well, but the tutorial is based around remote builds as MobiOne is a Windows based software and the remote build allows for building for iOS using the Windows platform. Local builds you will need a Mac for iOS builds.

    Yes, to do remote builds you need to sign up with them: http://build.phonegap.com

    Yes, certificates can be changed in the build wizard dialog.

    If you use the code signing utility you can leave the private key password blank as it is not set.

    Thanks,

    i’m following the steps

    https://www.genuitec.com/products/myeclipse/learning-center/mobile/mobione-apps-myeclipse/

    between steps 2.1 and 2.2 – there seems to be a jump.

    do i have to import the sample into the workspace. etc.

    if so how.

    Can you explain how to get to 2.2 –

    i’ve got MyEclipse-BuildM1ProjectTutorialPack_latest saved somewhere else.

    trying to create ios – when specifying the certs – it’s prompting for a mobile provision file – where do i get that?

    Hi,

    There is no jump there, though it is optional to open the Mobile Perspective, its just designed to work better with mobile development.

    You do need to import the User Template as in section 3. The user template is located in the resource zip file that you downloaded.

    Remember there is also a video walkthrough located in the header of the tutorial.

    Thanks.

    How do I get the ios provision file.

    (i did watch the video)

    Looks like that file comes from registering with Apple Developer.

    I plan to test it in a simulator for now (not a real device) – any way to run the test app w/o registering with Apple.

    Hi,

    You don’t need signing files to test it in the simulator, but to test the app itself on a device you need to have them to install it on a real device. You get the signing profiles from Apple Developer portal.

    I’ve been through the datetime migration process and successfully loaded it to my iPhone… My question however is how do I get a better handle on ME as a development tool. MobiOne allowed simplistic building block process of drag/drop text boxes, widgets etc with the option to created custom scripts to support those items. Are there any examples to show how to build an app from scratch using this type of framework? Seems you need to jump right into custom build your own html, etc. Hopefully I’ve presented this so my query is understandable.

    Thank you,

    Great question,

    MyEclipse is designed to be used with a variety of frameworks and technologies and not lock the developer into a single option. It does have JQuery mobile built into it, is a semi-visual builder aspect. For example using the Design tab you can drag and drop JQuery elements from the Palette into the html file. Not a true visual builder can can be helpful. I like working with the Ionic Framework myself, which the upcoming version will have some included support for (i.e. templates). You can always use a outside designer like the JQuery RIB (Rapid Interface Builder), which does a JQuery user interface. We even have a tutorial on importing the final design into MyEclipse.

    On the Ionic side there is the Ionic Creator, still in beta at this time from the ionic Framework people, but very encouraging so far. We have a template on building a ToDo app in MyEclipse that uses the Ionic Framework:

    Hope this helps,

    Hi,

    Can you give me a copy of all the info in the console area when this error happens?

    Thanks,

    I had to install sdk 19 and then it worked.

    I’m more interested in getting it to work with ios.

    So what do I need to do – to test it locally on the simulator.

    1. i’d like to import my mobione app into myeclipse and test it in sim mode.

    do i need to get an account with apple developer portal?

    anything else?

    Hi,

    Good to hear.

    If you want to test it only in the sim that comes with MyEclipse you don’t need to do anything, if you want to test it on a iOS device you do need a Apple Developer account with a provisioning profile.

    You can see our outline here on setting up for iOS:

    ok how do i run it as an ios app in the simulator.

    i assume it’s not “Build PhoneGap App” – anyway ios option is disabled when I do this.

    You can right click on your project and go to PhoneGap > Preview Application In Mobile Web Simulator this will open it in the same simulator that MobiOne used.

    My sincerest apologies – should have looked more.

    I did try that option and am now getting.

    “Start page not found in this Phonegap Application”

    I did go and edit the importMobioneProjectContent.ant file and
    entered the correct folder and date-time.html file.
