Good luck!
I've written a custom Cocoa app (well mostly written) for tracking time
and expenses and billing. One thing I'm interested in doing is creating
a Palm Pilot conduit to pull expenses from the Palm Expenses program.
Has anyone had tried to write a conduit in Cocoa? Are there frameworks,
or am I stuck with using the unix palm API?
Any thoughts, warnings, or advice are appreciated.
I have been working on and off for a Palm conduit for Slacker
ToDo Lists (a Cocoa app). I think it's possible, but I'm not
there yet.
You can download a Palm Conduit SDK from
http://www.palmos.com/dev/tools/cdk/mac/. They only support
Codewarrior. However, the shared libraries for the conduit
manager and the sync manager are CFM shared libs. So you are
going to have to use CFBundle to open and get function pointers
back from the libs.
There are actually 1 or 2 Palm.com Mac engineers lurking on this
list, I think. ;-)
marketcircle.com was developing a Palm conduit for their Cocoa
app, and I don't know how far they got yet.
A Palm conduit is pretty low priority for me, but I would be glad
to share ideas and code samples with you.
BTW, I think the Unix Palm tools are GNU, not Lesser/Library GNU
license. So that might hurt you if you are thinking about
commercial applications.
