Sysadmin Field Notes

iPhone and Google APIs?

March 24, 2008

I was all excited to use the google provided project for accessing google stuff via Objective C. Except for this tidbit: The Google Data APIs Objective-C Client Library requires Mac OS X 10.4 due to dependencies on NSXMLDocument.

As far as I know, a certain mobile device SDK doesn't support NSXML, just libxml directly. I bet it works on the simulator because the dependencies are there, but I have a feeling that the real device is left out in the cold. Given the heavy use of that API in this code, I wouldn't expect it to be ported to libxml2 anytime soon. Although that would be a useful fork.
