Katana Code's Git Strategy

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to define the strategy which all Katana Code employees and subcontractors must adhere to when working on Katana Code projects.

The aim is to develop a uniform, coherent and effective solution. This document is not written in stone and can be updated as and when better approaches are discovered.

Topic Branches

There's not a great deal of documentation on the options available when configuring your Rakefile in Rubymotion.

I figure having the community share what's in theirs will help other developers get a better idea of how they should configure their own project.

Transposing An Existing XCode Project to Rubymotion

For the last two weeks I've been working flat out with Rubymotion, a new toolchain that allows developers to build native iOS applications using the beautiful, elegant Ruby programming language instead of the verbose and somewhat fussy Objective-C programming language.

The app I've been working on is an existing client app we've been developing for several months. The app was about 80% ready for a pilot launch but still had quite a bit of development to go before being shipped. After discussing Rubymotion with the client, we agreed that it would save us both time and money in future development if we move over to Rubymotion. I was tasked with doing the migration; transposing the entire application to Rubymotion.

Timescale

For those of you looking to do the same, here are some stats that might help you estimate the time required and the costs

This is a work in progress...

Here's A handy helper for showing loading cells in iOS Apps with Rubymotion

To use, simply include the class in your project and then from within your controller:

# in my controller

def tableView(tableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)
  # return a loading cell
 LoadingCell.loadingCellWithTableView(self.tableView)

	module PesaPal

	include ActiveSupport::Configurable


	self.configure do \|config\|
	config.test_mode = !Rails.env.production?
	config.consumer_key = Rails.env.production? ? "" : ""
	config.consumer_secret = Rails.env.production? ? "" : ""
	config.merchant_email = Rails.env.production? ? "" : "you@examle.com"

	require 'oauth'
	require 'uri'

	key = # my Consumer Key (sandbox)
	sec = # my Consumer Secret (sandbox)

	SITE_URL = 'https://demo.pesapal.com'

	# An XML string of param data to include with our request
	RAW_XML = <<-XML

	class MyController < UIViewController

	def viewDidLoad
	self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor
	alert.show
	end

	# ==============
	# = Properties =
	# ==============

	$:.unshift("/Library/RubyMotion/lib")

	require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'version')

	require 'motion/project'

	require 'bundler'

	Bundler.require

	module ActiveRecord

	class Base

	COLUMN_TYPES_MAPPING = {
	:int => 'INTEGER',
	:long => 'INTEGER',
	:longLongInt => 'BIGINT',
	:bool => 'BOOLEAN',
	:double => 'DECIMAL',
