The silence is defening! Is anyone able to get a compiled and sandboxed MacRuby project accepted to the App Store? If I understand how macruby_deploy works then it seems that it is trying to duplicate a lot of work that Xcode does by post-processing an Xcode application package. It also seems to me that it would solve my problem it I could include a source code bundle for the macruby runtime in my project so that Xcode would build it correctly with sandboxing enabled. Then I would need an option for macruby_deploy to not overwrite the executable, or, better yet, a macruby pre-compiler that I could invoke from the Xcode "Build Rules". Then I wouldn't need to run macruby_deploy and the build should even run faster since code signing would only run once. So what don't I understand about macruby_deploy? Thanks, Bob Rice

What's going on with MacRuby?
by Jim Getzen 28 Sep '12

Development seems to have slowed to a crawl, as has the mailing list activity. Has RubyMotion has sucked all the oxygen away from MacRuby? Or perhaps the main contributors are just busy right now? Can anyone share some insight?

Hi, Seems that the recent nightly installs don't correctly install the macruby_deploy and other executable tools. I had to back up to the 23rd. Also, it seems that macruby_deploy only deletes the .rb file if the .rbo file didn't already exist in the build directory. If both the .rb file and .rbo files exist before running macruby_deploy then the .rbo file is overwritten but the .rb file is not deleted. Thanks, Bob Rice

Problem embedding MacRudy for Mac App Store
by Robert Carl Rice 19 Sep '12

Hi, I made some progress by creating a new MacRuby Application to get the get the "Deployment" target settings and then I added this target to my older projects. Now I can build a compiled and code signed app for distribution. Great! but I still can't build a compiled and embedded MacRuby application for distribution. When I add the --embed argument for macruby_deploy to my "Deployment" target, the archive does not pass validation giving the error "not a single bundle application or multiple products". Any suggestions? Thanks, Bob Rice
