Update on ObjectiveFlickr: New Build System

If you’re tracking the subversion repository of ObjectiveFlickr, here are some highlights of the past week’s update:

  1. A new “build system” is there. I have spent some time rearranging the Xcode project file. Now it builds ObjectiveFlickr.framework along with some demo apps that I’m working on. The framework works fine either in /Library/Frameworks or as embedded framework.
  2. ObjectiveFlickr itself is completely rewritten. I have separated application context (API key, Shared Secret and Auth Token) from request-related tasks.
  3. Use some svn:ignore property magic to reduce commit annoyance. There is still one file that is not ignored by svn. That’s because svn can’t ignore files already under version control. :(
  4. More works ahead, including some more mature demo app, and some “application-grade” classes. Right now the framework is still very “low-level”. With OFFlickrApplicationContext and OFFlickrRESTRequest, you still have to handle the URL perparation and payload extraction on your own. Another wrapping layer should reduce the pain.

So much for the weekend. Enjoy. :)
