You In case they change in the future, but at the moment, there’s a ![]() (I’ve omitted copying the instructions from the multirust repository Go ahead and install multirust and set the nightly as your default RustĬompiler. We’ll use it to manage a version of the Rust compiler The new beta and the current beta becomes the new stable this is called theĪ slick tool for managing multiple Rust installations is Every six weeks, the current nightly becomes There are three different versions of the Rust compiler available at any given IfĮither of those isn’t true, you’ll need to tweak these instructions. This section assumes you’re running Mac OS X and have not installed Rust. I’ll be glossing over some fairly advanced things in the Your first experience with the language, consider reading through the Rustīook. I’ll cover some basic Rust syntax as we go through the post, but if this is Sharing a View Model between Rust and iOS.Getting Started with Rust on iOS (that’s this post).While the app is simple, we’ll touch on a lot of advanced topics getting RustĪnd iOS to play nicely together. Next edition of our iOS Programming Guide, to be (This app is a variant of one that you’ll build while going through the Roughly follow an MVVM (Model-View-View Model) architecture where the ModelĪnd View Model layers are implemented in Rust, and the iOS side is just the The trick is that we’re going to put all the smarts in the Rust layer. Thumbnails in a UICollectionView and show the full image when a thumbnail We’re going to end up with a simple but nontrivial app that can ask Flickr for its recent photos, display This post is the first in a (long) series. Rust’s goal is to be a safer alternative to C++ without giving up the controlĪnd performance that C++ provides. Time and both described themselves as systems programming languages), but theĬomparison isn’t really fair to either: they have very different aims in mind. Rust is often compared with Go (probably because they entered the public eye around the same Writing), and the Rust team released version 1.0 on May 15 of this year. Rust describes itself as “a systems programming language that runsīlazingly fast, prevents almost all crashes and eliminates data races.” It’sīeen in development for quite a while (about eight years, at the time of this One for most applications, but it’s still a very interesting area to explore.Ĭ++ is the reigning king of the hill for portable, native library development,īut there’s a new challenger with an exciting amount of development behind it. ![]() I suspect that this approach is probably the wrong I’m not going to try and sell you on the merits of going down this road-thereĪre big pros and big cons. To develop in C or C++, languages that are portable to both platforms and that Into another platform’s language (Objective-C). Platform’s language (Java, in this case) and have it automatically translated Some tools, like Google’s J2ObjC, which allow you to write in one The least of which that the choice of language is pretty limited. An alternative approach, which Dropbox talked about at last year’sĢ), is to develop a library that can be shared by bothĭeveloping a cross-platform library is challenging for a number of reasons, not On one platform or the other or both, and new features have to be added toĮach. You have two different codebases that need to be maintained. Functionality will be duplicated (obviously), which means If you’re developing an app on multiple platforms more or less independently, Sometimes there’s a need for something more. I don’t expect that to change any time soon however, ![]() The native languages provided by the platform: Swift or Objective-C on iOS, and The vast majority of apps that get developed for iOS and Android are written in Editor’s note: This is the first post in our series on building an iOS app in Rust.
