  • Ice Touch now requires Xcode 5
  • Updated Ice Touch to support iOS 7
  • Added support for SOCKSv4 proxies, which allows outgoing TCP & SSL connections using IPv4 to be mediated by a network proxy service. Note that the iOS simulator doesn't support SOCKS proxies.

  • Xcode 5.1
  • Updated Ice Touch to support iOS 7.1

    Objective-C applications can now use libc++ or libstdc++, with libc++ the default when targeting iOS 7.

Corresponding Ice release

The Slice definitions included in Ice Touch 1.3 are the same as the Slice definitions included in Ice 3.5.1. In particular, the Glacier2, IceGrid, and IceStorm client libraries included in this Ice Touch release use the Ice 3.5.1 definitions. If a future Ice release adds new APIs (such as a new operation, or a new interface) to one of these services, you will need to rebuild these libraries using the newer Slice definitions in order to use the new APIs.

Deprecated features in Ice Touch 1.3.1

The SDKs for Objective-C and C++ provide support for libc++ and libstdc++, but libc++ is now preferred.

For OS X and Cocoa, the Ice Touch run time is no longer built with garbage collection support. The use of automatic reference counting (ARC) is now preferred over garbage collection. If you need garbage collection for your Ice Touch OS X applications, you will need to build Ice Touch from source.

On iOS devices, connection establishment occasionally hangs when using the SSL transport. This problem occurs in particular with the Ice Touch test suite which opens a large number of connections over the loopback interface. We have never experienced this problem outside the test suite environment. If you are using the SSL transport, we recommend setting the Ice.Overidde.ConnectTimeout property to a reasonable timeout value to work-around this issue. If you built Ice Touch from source and run the tests with SSL enabled, you might experience some test failures because of this issue. We have submitted a test case to Apple to try to solve this problem.

Upgrading your application from previous Ice Touch versions

...

  • /Library/Developer/IceTouch-1.3/SDKs/ObjC/$(PLATFORM_NAME).sdk for the Objective-C SDK
  • /Library/Developer/IceTouch-1.3/SDKs/Cpp/$(PLATFORM_NAME).sdk for the C++ SDK

For Xcode  5.1 iOS and Cocoa applications you also need to update the project setting "Header Search Paths" to include the Ice Touch SDK include directory.

  • /Library/Developer/IceTouch-1.3/SDKs/ObjC/$(PLATFORM_NAME).sdk/usr/local/include for the Objective-C SDK
  • /Library/Developer/IceTouch-1.3/SDKs/Cpp/$(PLATFORM_NAME).sdk/usr/local/include for the C++ SDK

If you're not using the Cocoa or iOS SDKs but rather the command-line SDK, you will need to update the "Ice Home" setting.

Targeting iOS >= 5.1.1

Xcode 5.1 targets iOS 7.1 by default. To build your application for an iOS >= 5.1.1 target, you will need to modify your Xcode project as follows:
