In this upcoming sprint I will pick up the DEF-2788 (Updating to iOS 10.3.1). Hopefully, this can be useful to you, although it leaves you little time left before your release.

Objective-C is quite a dynamic language. Try:

Class SKStoreReviewController_ = NSClassFromString(@"SKStoreReviewController");
if (SKStoreReviewController_) {
  [SKStoreReviewController_ performSelector:@selector(requestReview)];
}

After update editor2 i can’t build a game, maybe the reason is update of build server?

#94

Ah, yes, it was an oversight from my part. Sorry about that!!!
We’re about to release a beta version of Editor 1 and as such, the defold sdk was updated before the server was updated. I’m in the process of updating it now. You should be able to build again in 10-30 minutes.

Awesome feature!

I read through the manual, “the Defold SDK allows you to write extensions to the engine in the C++ language”.
Is there a chance to write an extension in Object C as I see some are using Object C in this thread? Please give a simple example instruct how to write an extension using Object C code.

I’m trying to write Game Center extension but look like it only allow to do with Object C while the Defold SDK only supports C++. Is there and build configuration to instruct the cloud build compile Object C codes ?

Thanks,

The entry-point for an extension is always a cpp file that sets up the extension. For an iOS/OSX application you’re also able to add ObjectiveC code, for Android apps Java code and for HTML5 you can add Javascript.

Have a look at the camera extension for an example of how to use ObjectiveC code: https://github.com/defold/extension-camera

Does here any way to use autocomplete for c++ code from native extensions?

#106

You could try using some clang-based autocompletion engine. clang-autocomplete works great for Atom or YouCompleteMe for Vim. They’re pretty easy to set up for any given project. You might also need the Defold SDK header files. Not sure if those are public. You’ll have to check
