Updated docs

[manojdcoder]

Where shall we download the updated docs for offline usage? So we can just update the app/docs folder ourself as on required rather waiting for a release here?

[FokkeZB]

Unfortunately atm our docs CI builds are broken so I can't make a new version. We're looking into integrating builds of this app in docs CI.

[manojdcoder]

Thanks, offline docs will be really useful. Looking forward for the update.

The CI builds have been fixed, but I've (lots of) issues getting the app to work again. I needed to upgrade it to current versions of electron but there were a lot of breaking changes. I'm sorry but atm I don't have time to work on this (experimental) app.

I have pushed what I have so far to a separate branch, so if you have time to get it working again, that would be great!

Can you please paste the link to download the offline docs?

I followed the steps here to build the docs myself. But the final output uses ExtJS theme instead of the Appcelerator one.

@mano-mykingdom you can get the list with CI build zips here: http://builds.appcelerator.com.s3.amazonaws.com/mobile/docs/index.json

If you get it to work again and can do a PR that would be great!

@FokkeZB The latest doc that downloaded from the link you shared, doesn't seem working perfectly.

1. Landing page style sheet is missing for Platform
2. Landing page itself missing for ArrowDB
3. ArrowDB search is broken
4. Dropdown for switching from Platform to ArrowDB is broken
5. Theme is outdated (Comparing with live latest docs)

PR for electron fixes - #5

[FokkeZB]

Thanks for #5! I've merged it and also added the build dir to the git since it would fail without. But even with that when I run node build it now gets me builds in dist, but when I start the Mac app (which btw has the default Electron icon) is blank. I believe that was where I last gave up. Did you get any further?

[manojdcoder]

It worked just fine for me, either with default electron app or after node build

If you share the keys to sign the mac build, I may able to complete the build on my machine. As of now it fails with the logs below.

Reminder: As I mentioned in my previous comment, there are few issues (but not source stoppers) with latest docs build.

[FokkeZB]

Ah, now I see... appc-docs-desktop/tmp/builds/AppC-Docs-darwin-x64 is there with the right icon and working, just appc-docs-desktop/dist/AppC-Docs-darwin-x64 is blank and has the Electron logo.

Probably because of that signing problem. Previous versions of Electron build didn't require this so I've never set these keys up. LMC

[FokkeZB]

Mmm, I got signing working but the distribution version is still blank and with default icon. I'm afraid I don't have more time to invest today. Hopefully later.
