Hi,

Hi



The Tizen IVI SDK is meant to be used to develop Web applications.

>From here:

It explains that you can develop using Tizen IDE, included with all SDK 
versions (so I assume that also Tizen IVI).


The Tizen Web API is the only public API that is officially supported on Tizen 
IVI. It is of course possible to write applications that use the core APIs of 
the stack and the recommendation is to use GBS for these.

That link explains that the Tizen IDE has integration with GBS:
https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Platform_Development_Using_IDE#GBS_Options_Setting

And although seems to be really focused on tizen 2.X, it includes some 
references to Tizen 3.0. That seems to suggests that Tizen IDE/SDK should work 
there too.

So, taking all this into account, is that wiki page correct, or as you suggest 
it is better to use GBS manually (meaning that the page is somewhat outdated)?

[Geoffroy] This is a good question, I have seen that page a while ago but have 
never tried to actually use it. It would be good to get confirmation from the 
Tools team as to how mature/functional that solution is. All 
developers/contributors that I know use GBS and MIC at the command-line.


And now something somewhat offtopic, there is one thing that I miss from the 
tizen documentation. Although it properly and detailed explains how to create a 
new image based on the tizen repositories locally (using gbs), it is not clear 
how to create a new native application, compile and test it on a image, before 
event suggesting to integrate it on the Tizen machinery. Or am I wrong and 
there is a similar link around that I missed?

[Geoffroy] There isn't such a wiki page that I'm aware of. The process to go 
through would be roughly the following:

-          Host your source code in a git repository.

-          Prepare the packaging info (aka your spec file) for it (for GBS): 
https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines and put it under the 
'packaging/' folder (in your source code.

-          Put your manifest file in 'packaging' too (see this wiki page for 
more info: 
https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Security/Application_installation_and_Manifest)

-          Build your code against Tizen using GBS: if successful this will 
generate an RPM file that you can then transfer and install in your Tizen image.
Just note that with Yocto, the packaging information is different and comes in 
the form of a recipe that bitbake will use.
