I'm getting this when going fullscreen: http://cl.ly/0M360g0v1902332M2s1S

Opening a macgap app in 10.8.2 results in the dock reopening, the desktop getting an old background and heat issues because of high load. All I could find in the console was this;

Support for reading from and writing to the clipboard would be awesome.

how to make a app stay on status bar?

It would be awesome to have custom icons in Growl notifications. The Growl notification API supports setting an icon (via iconData parameter) for notification. It would dramatically improve our message notifications if we could display the user's avatar or other relevant icon by simply providing the URL.

For example:

// Send a Growl notification
macgap.growl.notify({
  title: "Notify",
  content: "New Message!",
  icon: "/path/to/icon"
});

Hey,

when i read "MacGap works on OSX 10.6 and 10.5." i thought it ONLY runs on 10.6 and 10.5.

Maybe something like "MacGap works on OSX 10.5+" or "MacGap works on OSX 10.5 or higher". ?

I'm using macgap to wrap a jQuery mobile app.

When I browse to different pages, the window title is set to the title of the html page.

How is that done in macgap? I'm looking through the code, and I can't see it anywhere.

I would basically like to turn that functionality off, because it keeps overwriting my custom window title.

I'm going to use MacGap for tiny utilities on the command-line and need a way to pass arguments to the app.

I guess macgap.env is simplest; then I can simply call (probably wrapping it in a shell script):

SOMETHING=foo App.app/Contents/MacOS/App

The Mac Toolbar window is normally used as Preferences. Currently there is only one window which basically embed an WebView. Would be good introduce another window type with toolbar supported.

The toolbar can be a special HTML element (

Well, I don't know its doable or not, nor the API design.

Hi, I'm really excited about MacGap and the lightweight direction you are taking. I'd like to discuss 2 feature requests that would allow a MacGap application developer to ship a custom binary (server) and spawn MacGap as child process:

• ability to optionally configure the startup script (not directly start the .app/Content/MacOS/MacGab binary)
• support for a "-url" flag, to specify the default location instead of "public/index.html"?

Hi
Do you know if there is any app in AppStore made with MacGap? I mean will the apps be approved or they might be rejected for reasons like "private api were used", etc ?

Thank you.

The MacGap.app package included in macgap-rb seems a bit dated (as in: more than a year old). It would be nice to have some build instructions for people who don't have experience with XCode (i.e. me), so they can help themselves.

It would be cool, if it would be possible to drag a file to the app and the webviews receives this file, for example to upload it in an HTML Uploader. This works in safari but not in the app.

if something is set to content editable, or shows text cursor on hovering, and you drag, you will drag your webkit past the view of the content. With this issue, you could never actually distribute and app because it would be clear to everyone that it's just an "iframe" webkit view.

I made a movie so you can see the issue. Please advise who i could prevent this?

MacGap is great and I've chosen to use it in one of my projects. One issue I have, how do I compile it for OSX 10.6 as stated to work in the README.md?

For info, I'm using Xcode 4.5.2 on 10.8.2 with added 10.6 SDK.
I'm not making use of MacGap's ML's full screen or notification options.

Every time I press a key in my macgap app, it causes the system to play a warning sound (the same one that is played when you try to navigate past the prompt in a terminal).
My DOM does not have anything which is navigable via key presses, but I registered a few key press handlers via JavaScript. Is this a known problem?

Hi there,

question.
Can implement something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALDmCw41uJ0

Launching an "app" in fullscreen mode?

Thank you for reading.

/MacGap/Classes/Commands/Notice.h:13:31: Cannot find protocol declaration for 'NSUserNotificationCenterDelegate'

from file:
/MacGap/Classes/WebViewDelegate.m:9:9: In file included from /MacGap/Classes/WebViewDelegate.m:9:

any ideas?

This is like Adobe AIR or Titanium Desktop, except it's Mac-only?

Hi.
I have some error in the new macgap- Version: http://bemoredifferent.com/macgap_failed.png
the old version worked but since i update to the newest macgap- version there this bug.
Hope anybody can explain how to fix it.

Is there a way to stream a remote flv?

There should be a line that you can comment out to enable or disable web inspector, it is very useful for debugging.

Sometime I want to create a link that opens in the browser. I do that by creating a link with target="_blank" but this doesn't work.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks!

I'm pretty new to this so excuse me if I did something wrong.
Using Lion 10.7.2, Xcode 4.1

• Did gem install macgap
• Cloned the macgap repository, cd'ed into it, run `macgap --name MyApp --output ./build ./public``
• Opened the folder in Xcode, hit Run, this is what I see:

https://img.skitch.com/20120115-kr7dgfqtqr7afndc719bx89aps.png

1- Create a page that uses macgap.growl
2- Create a location.href to another page (or use a link)
3- CMD + Back Arrow to return
4- This error comes out on the debug console: Trying to access object from destroyed plug-in

It would be great to have a way to add global window shortcuts, for example to add global play/pause to a music application.

Maybe something like:

macgap.menu.addHotKey("cmd-alt-p", function() {
window.App.pauseSound();
});

Hey Alex,

Thank you so much for macgap! I am much enjoying playing with it, and starting to design some great apps built on it. However, I have an issue. The main macgap window opens in a sort of "non-standard" position and size, like on the bottom-left corner of my screen, and at a size I do not want. I know I can use JavaScript to resize and reposition the window, but that is very "jerky", as the window appears to "jump" to the new location after it has already opened. This isn't a great user experience.

My question is, can you simply launch the app with the window initially hidden, and then show it once the DOM finishes loading? That would solve all my problems I think.

Or, is there any way for me to configure the initial position and size of the window, possibly with command-line arguments or Info.plist changes?

Thanks again for a great framework!

Does the Same Origin Policy apply for a MacGap webkit window? In other words can I send HTTP requests to multiple endpoints? Regardless, is there an API for making an HTTP callout without using a server proxy?

I The following JQuery function is failing for me:

$.ajax({
type:"GET",
url: "https://www.google.com/",
data: "",
processData: false,
success: function(r) { alert('success') },
failure: function(r) { alert('fail') },
complete: function(r) { $("#main").html(JSON.stringify(r)) }
});
});

Okay I'm using flex boxes. MacGap rendered the entire toolbar and content area fine. It renders fine in Safari (webkit). All of a sudden when rebuilding the test project only the toolbar part of my html renders. It's very strange it stopped rendering at one DOM element in Xcode but renders the first dom element. The exact same page loads fine in webkit. What could cause this, especially if it was rendering fine 30seconds ago?

MacGap:

Webkit:

Running locally I am able to store as much data as I want but I am getting a data quota error when I build a version for the mac app store that stores something that is over 1mb. Here's the error:

QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR: DOM Exception 22: An attempt was made to add something to storage that exceeded the quota.

So like most of the OAuth 2.0 links, like this:

window.open("target-oauth-2.0-url")

// You authorize it
// OAuth server will redirect with special sort of "accee token"
// The webview browser will actually redirect to "your-callback-url?#access_code=newly_created"

Then how do we get the url so that we can parse the access_code for later use?

I've been having a serious problem with Flowdock for weeks now. When I switch flows, Flowdock scrolls back to messages that are sometimes days old. I haven't been able to discern a pattern yet. I completely nuked Flowdock yesterday and reinstalled. I thought it was fixed and chalked it up to something in the betas, but today it's back…

At first I thought it was the last highlight. Then I thought it might be the last place that I jumped to when clicking a notification center popup. I've since found counterexamples for all of these, but yet Flowdock continues to jump back to messages that are anywhere from a few minutes to days old and I have to click on the "Jump to Present" button to get back. This happens every time I switch tabs and it's infuriating.

Hey, is there any possible way, to somehow enable out-of-window HTML rendering? For example right now, every html context menu must be positioned inside the main web view window. Which can be limiting sometimes.

Is there any possible way to render HTML content outside of the window as well? Nice example can be Safari extensions...

Closing the window (e.g. Command + W) puts the user in a position where it's impossible to bring the window back up (e.g. by click on the app icon in the Doc).

Hi, I love this! thanks for working on it!

I was able to nicely port my webapp (html5 & js files) using macgap...but sadly it doesn't include/recognize sqlite.

I tried simply including the sqlite3 lib, but no joy.

I'm not real "xcode" savy, and was wondering if you/someone could share how to do this?

Sorry to post here...I wasn't sure were to find help relating macgap and sqlite.

thanks in advance!

Hallo

Is this at all possible? My app is only a certain size and would be annoying if users can break the layout or make it look bad by resizing.

Thanks

Hi,

I am unable to compile the project on 10.7. There are 13 errors about UserNotification stuff not being found.

Please advice.

Thank you.

in WebViewDelegate.m

on 10.8 and xcode 4.4.1

Allow setting the default URL for the app using preferences / defaults.

Some times its handy to have an app remain on top of all other windows.

examples:
For instance, some clock apps, or system monitoring apps are always on top. It would be useful for those creating apps to monitor their server status to have a window that runs on top of their other windows.

It would be awesome if you could add some events for when the OS goes to sleep and wakes up.

I need to be able to call something like doc badging when i hit a button. It works fine in the head as a script.

But as soon as I put your calls in a jquery function, my alert fires but your javascript returns exceptions. Here's an example. I can't put everything in the head. Where does your javacscript interpreter load?

works in head

macgap.dock.badge = "10";

macgap returns errors if below body tag

    $("button.feed").click(function() { 
      macgap.dock.badge = "10"; // error below
      document.title = 'Stop Clicking AND BE QUIET';  //works
    });

2013-04-19 16:08:57.406 MacGap[8057:303] JavaScript console: undefined:0: TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function

Go to MACGAP target

Enable App Sandboxing
Change File System to Read/Write Access

So in my Xcode project I set the titlebar to hidden. This will allow me to use a custom titlebar style at the top, by building it in HTML.

Could you please add javascript to drag app window around?

Is there anyway to use chromes webkit implementation in macgap? It would be awesome since safari doesnt support FileReader yet but chrome does.

Hi all,

First, great work! I would like to use macgap with an app that needs to download files. The idea is to use the webview cookies to request a file, and save it to the hard disk, but I don't see any function exposed to perform such task. It's possible to do this with the current implementation of macgap?

Use Chromium Tabs for windows

so it seems safari doesn't support loading files yet (chrome does)
for example:

works on chrome: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3146483/html5-file-api-read-as-text-and-binary
fails on safari

and so it doesn't work in macgap :\

anyway around this?

it would have been great if there was :<

Is anybody having problems with making desktop notifications show up in 10.8?

Growl works but not natives.
