Every one i've opened is written in basic. Hmmm...sudden though, do you only get c++ support when you buy it? At the mo i have the free trial.

Could someone let me know what build options etc I need in order to get my c++ project working with AppGameKit and what steps are needed for the project to compile for all platforms?

You cant just use c++. You need xcode and solaris. I think I spelled that right don't have spell check. Any way there are examples for both xcode and solaris. I personally would not buy a Mac yet just program with solaris tell you have 5 or 6 apps then buy a mac. Solaris is free and if you have money then get a Mac mini.

So I have to port my project to run on mac/ios? What happened to "write once deploy everywhere", the reason I bought AppGameKit in the first place?

That option is only for tier one.So yes you can write it once and deploy every where. The c++ version is more you write the code once and deploy with xcode and solaris.

There are C++ project examples with AGK

You need to look in your AppGameKit install folder

Assuming you installed to C:\ you will have a path similar to this:

C:\Program Files\AGK\Projects\Native

In the native folder you will have the following:

\iOS
\Mac OS
\Windows
\Windows_VS2010


Windows folder has Visual Studio 2008 C++
Windows_VS2010 has Visual Studio 2010 C++ examples

It's this way for all iOS developers. Apple has a "walled garden" where they only accept applications that meet certain requirements and specifications. One of those requirements is that the code be "signed"(a way of verifying the creation of the code) on a Mac OSX installation. It's annoying, and one of the only things keeping me from iOS development myself.

"Write once" means one body of code, which you can then "eat" in various development environments. Although most compilers could cheerfully pump out machine code that would run on iOS, as mentioned above, Apple insist that the final compile is done on an actual Mac.

This is the case for ALL cross-platform development systems, and it is not AppGameKit, Embarcadero, or anybody else's fault.

For some reason I had the idea that xCode was Apples own language for writing apps for ios devices. Facepalm.

Thanks for clearing this up

XCode is the IDE/compiler, not an actual language.

It compiles C++ just fine. It also compiles Apple's Objective C language (which is not quite so nice to work in).
