Oh wow, it seems Ejecta will quickly become THE exporter for iOS if this works!

I've no idea how I should test this, and the 4 step how-to on the download page doesn't help me either ._.

is there a beginner friendly way to test this?

Currently I'm exporting with CocoonJS and have the problem of long loading times and lags. (as discussed here)

Ashley Here are the screenshots https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/354 ... creens.rar
(these were taken while testing on the iphone simulator and that's why the memory consumption is a bit higher)

I get pretty much identical results with any of my projects. Phoboslab implementation runs without errors.

Even simple test fails on layout change:

I love C2, and I'm always impressed by the team. I just started building an app in C2 and seeing this has made my day.

I'm finally re-downloading the XCode to start messing around with Ejecta.

Ashley, do you need any more help with this?

I'll have a new version up soon to try and fix the earlier mentioned problems, but giving it a spin yourself can't hurt.

KFC Kastas — / anyone else
I just updated the code with a version which I think fixes that crash. Can you try it again and let me know if it works?

I think WebGL mode will still accumulate memory like the canvas2d version, because the way Ejecta releases textures is slightly different and I had to make a small change in the runtime to accommodate it. So hopefully from the next build it will work properly so long as WebGL is enabled.

I tried running the project with the game inside the "App" folder, and I get a "javascriptcore.h not found" error. Did you guys have this problem as well?

— - make sure you download & extract the zip directly from OS X itself. As noted in the release notes when Ejecta first came out, if you do it on a PC first then copy it over, it changes the file permissions and breaks it.

Ah that's why it never worked for me when I tried Ejecta 1 month ago following some semi cryptic tutorial.

Might give it a try again!
