I have Dashcode 3.0.5 installed on my system (MacBook Air 2012) and I've just installed 'Mavericks'. Big white cross now over the Dashcode icon and warning 'You can't use this version of the application Dashcode with this version of OSX'. I've searched the Apple developer downloads page and there isn't an update for Dashcode. I would be very greatful if anyone could point me in the right direction.
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I've used iAd Producer for a number of my 'old' widgets and it works quite nicely. Hype 2 is great as well but doesn't have enough javascript support for what I wanted initially . There are a number of applications though where Hype 2 should be very useful for iBook widgets.
The question is still unanswered:
What is the suggested Apple app for web developement?
Eager to hear from you guys!
P.S.
Could I use Xcode? If yes which temlpate?
There's no Apple app for web development, Xcode is for developing apps made to run on iOS or OSX. Some people (such as myself) used Dashcode as a plain text code editor to edit files like HTML, CSS, PHP, JS and others, but I no longer use it because I found a better app and also because Dashcode is discontinued.
As I mentioned on Apr 29th, iAd Producer does a good job with widgets for iBooks and can be used to produce interactive elements for the web. Hype 2 is very good but not as programmable as iAd Producer. iAd Producer was recommended/suggested to me by an Apple engineer at a K-12/HEd Apple event. The other Apple web development software was iWeb but that doesn't seem to be updated. It linked to a previous Apple cloud attempt but that isn't active anymore. I believe you could export to your own site via ftp though. It was a GUI drag/drop type interface.
I use xcode to edit all source text files - including XML, HTML, JSON, Javascript, C/C++, and .m files.
For my web projects - I create a xcode project and just drag the folders into the project for navigation purposes. I like all the benefits that xcode brings to the table - even without using the compile and build features.
It's November 2014 and I'm still using Dashcode, the old tricks to make it start on Yosemite still work but the behavior is weird. Most of the stuff doesn't work.
So right now I'm using the July 2012 version available http://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=for%20Dashcode on a Virtual Machine I have Mountain Lion installed on. Parallels Desktop takes care of that.
Now it will work forever!😁
