Injection for Xcode

Hi,

some people here might find it interesting.

Code Injection for Xcode (Plugin Version)



Description :

Using Injection it is possible to make a change to the implementation of an Objective-C® class and have it take effect as soon as the class is saved without having to restart the application. This feature works for OS X and iOS applications in the simulator and on iOS devices.
Injection works by converting your classes into categories using a small set of preprocessor macros. This category can then be loaded at run time using a bundle. As Objective-C "binds" at runtime it will always chose the new implementation of the class over that which the application was last built with.

It's like Live coding, but need to be injected on every change rather than compile and upload...interesting.
Thanks for that, but this would be helpful while testing only and we have a much better thing with Gideros Studio and ZeroBrane Studio live coding, what say?

Very cool, thanks for sharing. It's interesting to see other people move towards live coding more and more.

I agree.
Smart people in this community always come up with innovative ideas by combining things so I think it's always interesting to put that kind of things in front of people.
