Resource Copying

[garsdle]

First of all I love how useful injection is!

I was wondering if there is a way to extend this project to copy any modified file to the main bundle. I like the idea of reloading xibs and more.

I would be glad to try making the change myself with a pull request but wanted to check in and get pointed in the right direction. Maybe you have tried this and it is intractably hard.

Cheers! Manny

This used to work sort-of in the old injection so you may be able to resurrect something. Storyboards are hard because the internal nib file names and connections get random names each time you recompile them making working out the right nib for a view controller difficult. Your starting point would be here: https://github.com/kzaher/injectionforxcode/commit/600275c19acf03c68277df3fa3af955ca68cdde5 with the last person who worked on this (only injecting xibs though)

Awesome I'll take a look 👍

When I run the project to debug and do start injection it stalls out at this line in HelperProxy without any error? mach_error_t err = [helper inject:[NSBundle mainBundle].bundlePath bundle:bundlePath client:__FILE__ dlopenPageOffset: dlopenPageOffset dlerrorPageOffset: dlerrorPageOffset];

Did you update the code signing? If you get stuck on this you can add the following to your app and avoid this stage:

Bundle(path: "/Applications/InjectionIII.app/Contents/Resources/iOSInjection.bundle")?.load()

Ok I've been digging in.

When trying to extract the compile command from .xcactivitylog for xibs it finds nothing

There is some serious magic going on at this level and I am not very gifted at perl nor regex so I have no idea why this is never true. elsif ($line =~ m@\(regexp.escaping("\"$"))@o and $line =~ " \(arch)") {

In my case regexp.escaping("\"$") evaluates to
-(?:primary-file|c(?<! -frontend -c)) (?:\\\\?\\\"(\\Q/Users/minombre/miprojecto/miprojecto/miprojecto/UI/ProductDetail/ProductDetailView.xib\\E)\\\\?\\\"|(\\Q/Users/minombre/miprojecto/miprojecto/miprojecto/UI/ProductDetail/ProductDetailView.xib\\E))

And I know that /Users/minombre/miprojecto/miprojecto/miprojecto/UI/ProductDetail/ProductDetailView.xib is in the .xcactivitylog

Any thoughts?

That’s a regex for getting compile commands. The nib compiles will be different and not require the -(?:primary-file|c(?<! -frontend -c)) section which translates as -primary-fille or -c not followed by -frontend -c. There is a whole book on regex.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I intend on not reading that book haha

So I've decided to actually switch to just programming my UI and ditching IB all together. I'll mark this closed since programable UI works great with InjectionIII
