Some of you may remember the bundling effort I started a long, long time ago. After several restarts, we finally have the first bundle out.
The first version was rejected by Apple for a crash that only happened in the app store version of the app. This was quite a surprise, since the method we were using to easily bundle apps together worked fine in our own device builds; turns out the runtime is slightly different when an app is compiled for the app store version than when you run build it for a dev device. Besides being annoying, this meant scrapping large sections of our code and giving up tons of flexibility in how we sandboxed apps.
Our second attempt involved writing a parser for static libraries; it would effectively namespace the externs, globals, classes, etc in a static library by scrambling the names. We got several apps working together, but kept running into issues with different ways that people use the various languages used for iPhone dev. It took hours to produce a namespaced build, and neither of us liked writing the parser.
Finally, we went old school and just manually namespaced everything. 10 games, several versions of cocos, several custom engines, two social networks, and several sound engines all stuffed into one codebase.
