Upgrading from MOE 1.1

This is a quick summary for upgrading, please read the rest of the installation documentation for the details on each topic. If you don’t have MOE 1.1 installed yet, you may skip this section.

  • Upgrade your IDE plugin.
  • Remove the UI Designer plugin if you had it installed.
  • Upgrade the MOE Gradle plugin in your projects’ build.gradle file.
  • Change your existing projects to use apple.* instead of ios.* for the iOS binding packages.
  • Enter the default Development Team Id in ${user.home}/.moe/default.properties to allow on device app execution on Xcode 8. More details below and in the Docs.

  • You may install the Multi-OS Engine plugin from the JetBrains plugin repository, right from Android Studio (or IntelliJ IDEA).

Option 2: Install Eclipse Plugin

  • Open Eclipse 4.5 (Mars) or later
  • Open the Install New Software window from the the Help menu
  • Add the Multi-OS Engine plugin repository:

      https://dl.bintray.com/multi-os-engine/eclipse
    
  • Install the Multi-OS Engine Plugin from the newly added repository

Clone the samples repository from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/multi-os-engine/moe-samples-java

Import a sample into Android Studio / IntelliJ or Eclipse

  • Use the Import Project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.) option in Android Studio / IDEA
  • Or import your project as Gradle Project in Eclipse
  • As the Gradle project is synchronized into your IDE, the Gradle plugin will automatically download the required MOE SDK version
  • Now you may launch the App on the iOS Simulator as usual
  • For on device execution, read on.

Set up Code Signing for On Device Execution in Xcode 8

Code signing in Xcode 8 is different from Xcode 7. For ease of use we recommend you create a default.properties file in your ~/.moe directory. This file should contain you Apple Developer Team ID in the following form:

developmentTeam=ABCDEFGHIJ

For more information on code signing, visit the installation documentation and the Multi-OS Engine Gradle Plugin on GitHub.

That’s it!

  • Now you have set up (and tested) MOE on your system.
