Building For iOS

#1 Post by justcolorado » Sun Feb 21, 2016 8:09 pm

I have a mac and apple dev account.
I want to make an app store version of the project I am working on now.

I read this comment in the Ren'Py documentation:

"While it has been used to release games to the Apple App Store, the default Ren'Py interface does not comply with Apple's guidelines and will need to be changed."

On the app store I saw "The Question"
(it was kind of funny because a bunch of people were commenting that the story was too short
and probably didn't understand what it was they were reading and wondering why they got married so quick)


and I also saw Loren Amazon Princess

I am guessing these were both Ren'Py projects.

So my question. Is this still the case that the default interface will not comply with Apple's guidelines?
If so, does anyone know exactly what changes I need to do to make to the project to pass Apple's strict guidelines?
or better yet, is there an empty example project that is made in accordance with apple's policies.

At the very least, you have to get rid of the quit button.

Where did you see "The Question"? I'm surprised someone uploaded it, since I didn't.

"The Question" was uploaded but to Google Play not iTunes
here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... tion&hl=en
Sorry made a mistake about that.
I have both iOS and android phones
and I download too many visual novels.
I got confused.

The comments are very interesting
People liked the story
and clearly wished there was more.

Other than getting rid of the quit button is there anything else I need to do?

is there anywhere I can download a blank "Hello World" project configured
with the right settings for iOS?
