rubymotion-builder-tweaks

=========================== Tweaks to enhance the building and compiling of Ruby Motion files.

---

tasks/rm_build.rake

This file includes a variety of methods to deal with managing XCode resources in a RubyMotion project. Add the /tasks directory to your project and include the file at the top of your Rakefile. By default, the XCode project resources are expected to be in an /xcode/projectname directory of your project. This can be changed by modifying the XCODE_PROJECT_PATH of the /tasks/rm_build.rake file.

Installation

  # RubyMotionProject/Rakefile
  $:.unshift("/Library/RubyMotion/lib")
  require 'motion/project'
  
  # add this line
  import 'tasks/rm_build.rake'
