Pythonista code performance Vrs compiled with Xcode Template
-
The forum a little slow on the weekend. So I will ask this question.
Is there a speed difference when you use the Xcode Template and build your Python app and run it on your iOS device?
I have never done it so I have no idea. The reason I ask this question is that I am so surprised how some mutil million/billion dollar apps perform so badly. The 2 that come to mind are tagged and wechat (there are other apps also). Ok, maybe you have not heard of them, but they are huge money making chat programs in Asia. The biggest chat app used in Thailand Is called Line, but that app is very responsive.
Anyway, I am surprised that you can write very responsive apps in Pythonista, and there seems to be a lot of crap of there, that still makes tonnes of money.
I got me thinking that if use the Xcode template to compile my app, would it be faster or slower than running in Pythonista -
I haven't noticed a big speed difference either way. I would expect it to be a bit slower, but not much. The only difference is the time it takes before it starts up.

@Phuket2 if the forum is too slow for you this weekend, you might want to check out the Chamonix Hackathon 2015 because it's burgers and beers mobile app theme should appeal to you. I have an open pull request that will allow you to create a local version of the appropriate SQLite3 db. Happy hacking...

@ccc , very nice. You make it seem so easy :) but a long to load on my iPad with no feed back.

Downloading the images of each bar causes the startup delay. I should cache the images after the first download. I will take a pull request if you want to implement that :-) Extra credit: Why does the Munster bar image not show up in BarsView but does show up in BarView?
