Hi Buddy,

I would advise to use the "regular" way, aka using Xcode, Interface Builder etc. I could think of two reasons for that: 1/ HotCocoa is, as far as I know, not maintained anymore 2/ By using Interface Builder, you'll learn more about writing Cocoa apps, wether it is in MacRuby or Objective-C :-)

However, please be aware that as of today, it is not possible to submit, on the AppStore (the iOS AppStore), an application that has been written using MacRuby :-(. Sincerely, -- Thibault Martin-Lagardette

All,

I am just starting with MacRuby and am kind of confused. There seems to be 2 ways to do GUI development. Hotcocoa or Pure Cocoa API. My confusion is on which one is best I like hotcocoa because it seems fairly straight forward on doing GUI stuff, the little I have looked at it, but seems to rely on Cocoa API where there aren't any mappings. However, I can use interface builder and xcode more easily going with the pure cocoa api. I also am very confused when doing anything with interface builder so I am leaning toward hotcocoa.

As a note on my background. I just got my first mac in July and started doing anything with ruby [on rails] in August. I come from a web development background so desktop apps are a bit new to me.

Anyone have any advice, comments, and or words of wisdom all they way around? My goals is to make a fairly simple app I can put into the AppStore.

Thanks Buddy
