Graph IDE ► Custom Application ► Distribution

Graph IDE makes writing a custom data visualization application comparatively easy (compared to other programming challenges). Writing and using such an application has merits of its own. Once you have a useful application then you may wish to deploy (distribute) it to other people for their own use. The following is a check list of things that need to be done before you can distribute such an application.

• You must accept the Redistribution Agreement and purchase a redistribution license.

• For iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) the libVvidget.a ARM archive library (device, not simulator) must be statically linked into your application.

• For OSX (Mac) the framework binaries must be copied into your application bundle in its Framework directory. Those binaries are in the folder "/Applications/Graph Builder.app/Contents/Frameworks" and are the Frameworks Vvidget_GG.framework, Vvidget_GS.framework, Vvidget_SAF.framework, Vvidget_SAG.framework, Vvidget_SAM.framework, Vvidget_SAT.framework, Vvidget_SBM.framework, VvidgetCode.framework. The Resources and Header folders must be removed before distribution. Redistributables does not include code signing assets. Do not copy or link against the Vvidget_GGE.framework, Vvidget_GSE.framework, Vvidget_PVS.framework, Vvidget_SCS.framework frameworks as they are not needed for a custom application.

• This is a non-comprehensive check list. Making a distributable application can be very easy or a major undertaking. There is no way of knowing in advance what your requirements are and hence how to go about solving them so such details are left to the reader.

• The example projects and applications in this section should be configured for distribution out of the box and provide a good starting point for configuring Xcode and related facilities.
