Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

XSLT processing in iOS environment

JMLdevJMLdev Posts: 14Registered Users
I'm trying to understand how to enable XSLT processing in iOS. From what I've read, WebKit has XSLT processing---which is how it is able to transform XML containing an XSL reference into HTML---but it is not available in any of the public classes that developers can access.

Several posts suggest using libxslt, but according to some folks you can't link this library in your code, either dynamically or statically, because the app store will reject your code.

Then someone posted a solution claiming that if you rename all instances of *xslt* in the code (e.g. change them to *zslt*) the app store won't reject, because it won't recognize that you're using libxslt.

Can anyone else confirm that this works? Has anyone else used libxslt in an app and submitted it successfully to the app store?

    WebKit does have an XSLT processor, but I don't believe that there is any Obj-C API to leverage it.

    Are you using a UIWebView? You can access the XSLT processor via JavaScript calls, by creating an XSLTProcessor object and then calling importStylesheet and transformToDocument (or transformToFragment) on it.

    If you search for docs/examples for the Mozilla XSLTProcessor object, it's the same as what WebKit implements.
