return new IOSApplication(new MyDemo(), config);
}
public static void main(String[] argv) {
NSAutoreleasePool pool = new NSAutoreleasePool();
UIApplication.main(argv, null, RobovmLauncher.class);
pool.close();
}
}
In the preceding code, you can see the
RobovmLauncher
class that is inherited from
the
IOSApplication.Delegate
class. Here is where LibGDX encapsulates tasks and
registers handlers to process touch input, and other sensor data, and much more.
The instances of
MyDemo
and
IOSApplicationConfiguration
are passed as
arguments to the
IOSApplication
function.
In Android, we saw the
AndroidManifest.xml
file that specifies the characteristics,
permissions, and other features of our
Demo-Android
app. Similarly, our iOS app
has
Info.plist.xml
to hold such details. Before explaining
Info.plist.xml
, let's
see the
robovm.properties
and
robovm.xml
file.
The following code is taken from
robovm.properties
file in our
demo-robovm
project:
app.version=1.0
app.id=com.packtpub.libgdx.demo
app.mainclass=com.packtpub.libgdx.demo.RobovmLauncher
app.executable=MyDemo
app.build=1
app.name=MyDemo
This brief file contains, as the statements indicate, the app version, app ID, main
class, executable, build number, and name of app. These values will be used in the
Info.plist.xml
file:
The following listing is taken from
robovm.xml
in our
demo-robovm
project:
<config>
<executableName>${app.executable}</executableName>
<mainClass>${app.mainclass}</mainClass>
<os>ios</os>
<arch>thumbv7</arch>
<target>ios</target>
<iosInfoPList>Info.plist.xml</iosInfoPList>
