Overview

Inspired by Gem::Specification that is used by Rubygems, this class represents the configuration for a Mac OS X application bundle.

A specification object is used to build your app bundle and define the Info.plist metadata for the application.

Instance Method Details

#add_runtime_dependency(dependency, *requirements) ⇒ Object Also known as: add_dependency

Declares a runtime dependency on a gem, with any given version requirements. If the embedding is also set, then any dependent gems will also be embedded into the app bundle.

This method was liberally borrowed from RubyGems project and has the same semantics here as it does for a gem specification.

Examples:


spec.add_runtime_dependency 'hotcocoa', '~> 0.6'

                 end

  unless dependency.respond_to?(:name) &&
      dependency.respond_to?(:version_requirements)

    dependency = Gem::Dependency.new(dependency, requirements, :runtime)
  end

  gems << dependency
end

#declare_doc_type(&block) ⇒ Object

Declares a document type for your document-driven application. (see http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Documents/Tasks/ImplementingDocApp.html)

spec.declare_doc_type do |doc_type|
  doc_type.extensions = ["ext"]
  doc_type.icon       = "MyIcon.icns"
  doc_type.name       = "MyProjectDocument"
  doc_type.role       = :editor
  doc_type.class      = "MyDocument"
