Quick setup of Phonegap and Sencha tutorial.

phonegap_sencha_tutorial.md

Note: You need to be on a Mac.

Note: This is purposely verbose. Yes, I know a lot of this can be simplified. Fork it and show me.

1. Install git
2. Open your terminal.
3. mkdir ~/Documents/phonegap_sencha
4. cd ~/Documents/phonegap_sencha
5. git clone https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-iphone.git && cd phonegap-iphone
6. git reset --hard HEAD
7. git pull origin master
8. make && open .
9. Double click the "PhoneGapLibInstaller.pkg" file and walk thru the installation steps. Go back to terminal when finished.
10. cd ~/Documents
11. mkdir sencha_sdk
12. cd sencha_sdk
13. wget http://downloads.sencha.com/touch/sencha-touch-1.0.1a.zip && unzip sencha-touch-1.0.1a.zip
14. cd ~/Documents/phonegap_sencha && wget http://staging.sencha.com/assets/images/learn/phonegap/Contacts.zip && unzip Contacts.zip
15. cd Contacts
16. mkdir www/lib/touch
17. cp -r ~/Documents/sencha_sdk/sencha-touch-1.0.1a/ ./www/lib/touch
18. open /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app Contacts.xcodeproj
19. At this point in Xcode, Build and Run. You will get an error in the build. Flip back to terminal and enter:
20. mv ~/Documents/PhoneGapLib/javascripts/phonegap-0.9.3.min.js ~/Documents/PhoneGapLib/javascripts/phonegap.js
21. Build and run again and compiler is happy.
22. Contacts will be empty. You need to add a contact or two in the Address book.

Cool Joe, thanks... the manual's missing manual :-)

Trying to figure out steps 20 & 21 - was this a 0.93/HEAD conflict or something?

Also 22... I didn't add the contacts in my demo; they were there already. So wondering how I got a magic simulator-with-friends.

Once the dust has settled, I should push the article source code onto GitHub too.

20 & 21 yeah there's something weird with the build; it yui compresses the phonegap.js file then tries to copy it, but it is attempting to copy the phonegap.js instead of phonegap.min.js. Just a typo in the shell script.

22 My simulator didn't have any contacts in it so I just added a few and it works fine.
