Brief Summary:
For an iPad application I am developing I need the user's desktop machine to repeatedly run a certain workflow. Since I am no expert in Automator scripts, I am looking for a professional to implement this.
Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Project Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this project?
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.
  • Other:Script
Desktop / server program info
Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
I don't know.
Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your application written in?
I do know the language(s).
Languages(s):
  • Cocoa / Obj-C
  • Other: Automator / AppleScript
Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I do know the operating system(s):
  • Mac OS X -- version(s): 10.5 and above
    		•
    Database: Will this project include a database?
    No, it does not include a database.
    Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
    2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
    2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Employer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
    2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the employer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this project (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
    3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Employer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
    3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the employer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.
    Other Requirements:
    For an iPad application I am developing I need the user's desktop machine to repeatedly run a certain workflow. Since I am no expert in Automator scripts, I would like to know if you could implement the following for me:

    1) a workflow that executes the following steps: a) polls a certain directory for the existence of a specific file (directory should be customizable by editing the workflow XML file) b) if the file exists, compile, build and execute a specific Xcode project (execute in the iPhone simulator) c) save the build results plus a screenshot of the iPhone simulator to a specific location d) close the iPhone simulator and the Xcode project e) delete the file polled for in step a.

    Deliverable: workflow archive

    2) an executable that sequentially executes all the workflow scripts contained in a certain directory (configurable) over and over (endless loop).

    Deliverable: XCode project

    Note that number 1 must be a workflow script, since the iPhone app I am developping is supposed to be able to generate customized versions of this workflow on the fly.

    Please let me know if you could do this, how much it would cost and what the turnaround time is expected to be.

    Thanks.
    • All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
    • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
