Remove macgap-rb? #20

Closed jeff-h closed 10 years ago

Wondering how people feel about deprecating macgap-rb?

I personally have never used it, as I don't see the point since Xcode is free, and I'm curious how things work. Using Xcode also provides a well-documented environment for doing things like adding your own app icon, and configuring your app for MAS submission.

I personally think it's kinda pointless, most people are going to be using xcode so they can run it while they're building, plus anyone who wants to submit to the app store has to use xcode anyway. Unless I allow you to pass a folder directory on the command line like NW this isn't all that useful.

Like I mentioned before once MG2 is finished and all of the various features are in place, I'll be creating multiple build targets based on different feature usage and will create build script that will automate the building and packaging. When that will be I don't know, but for now you guys might just want to put something in the docs on how to change the project name, build and package the app for distribution, as they aren't the most intuitive things to do in Xcode.

OK, sounds good to me. I've just added placeholders for those items to the docs.

As per @rawcreative's reply above let's look to eventually replace macgap-rb with a new build script. As such we'll remove it from anywhere it's currently mentioned.
