This is the first release of lein-fruit, the iOS equivalent of lein-droid, allowing you to build native iOS apps in Clojure and/or Java. It is also included in the latest release of Nightcode <https://nightcode.info/>. It is really just a thin wrapper around RoboVM <http://www.robovm.org/>, the bytecode-to-native translator and bridge for iOS APIs. The plugin also includes a few useful templates to get you started. One caveat is that, due to the weird way Clojure imports Java classes, which I discussed here before<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/clojure/tWSEsOk_pM4/y7kDQpEV-1gJ>, you can't import most of RoboVM's iOS classes without getting a nasty compile error. As a workaround, you must invoke these classes dynamically. The Clojure template in lein-fruit provides some convenience functions for this, but ultimately it is a big limitation. So why build this? Games! Nightcode already had a Clojure LibGDX template, allowing you to compile a desktop and Android game from the same Clojure codebase -- and now it supports iOS, too! And since games don't really use platform-specific APIs, the aforementioned problem isn't a big deal. Additional caveats: There is no REPL or runtime evaling due to iOS executable memory restrictions. Also, I don't own a Mac or an iOS device, so I had to do all my development in a VM with the iOS simulator (a VM inside of a VM?). Naturally, I would like to hear about any bugs.
