Setup

(This assumes you already have XCode.)

Make yourself a virtualenv:

• mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages cordova

Install initial dependencies:

• brew update
• brew upgrade node
• brew install android-sdk
• brew install ios-sim
• pip install requirements.txt

Setup the Android SDK:

• Run android
• Install all the packages under "Tools" and "Android 4.2.2 (API 17)"
• Run android avd
• Click over the "Device Definitions tab", select "Nexus One" (or whatever) and click "Create AVD...". Select "Android 4.2.2" for the Target and "ARM" for the CPU. Then click OK.

Install Cordova:

• sudo npm install -g cordova

Building

Running fab build will build both iOS and Android versions. You can use, e.g. fab build:ios, to just build one or the other.

Running

Run in the Android emulator:

• fab android

(Note: the first one or two times you run the Android emulator it will go through a initial device setup process and may fail to install the project. Just close the emulator and run it again.)

Run in the iOS emulator:

• fab ios

(Note: the iOS emulator doesn't work when in a tmux window. You'll have to run it directly from Terminal or iTerm.)
