For example, the 'spare room' thing is true if it is only used for business, and since it's based on square footage, you can't just start deducting the living room. Do you all do tax withholdings with your payments from Apple, or not?

Installed the 4.1 update from the Mac app store, and it totally hosed Xcode. Ugh... gonna delete then reinstall I guess. edit: and either I typed my password wrong, or you have to be a registered Mac developer for Xcode 4.1 to download the OS X 10.7 docs

I wish XPC's documentation had been updated for release. It's just plain incorrect. You have to visit the dev forums for accurate information.

After downloading Xcode 4 compeltely wiped my machine this is why I never update anything through the app store unless I have nothing mission critical going on whatsoever. I don't trust that thing a single bit, especially when downloading and installing Xcode takes 6+ hours.

Yeah for some reason you can't obtain Xcode 4.1 without being on a Lion machine and using the App Store. I tried to download it at work just so I could install it immediately when I came home instead of having to download it at home first, but no go. At least no way I could find.

Can't you just copy the installer to a thumbdrive and then take it home? (should be in /Applications) Is there anybody else here who's in the iOS dev program but not the Mac dev program that has Xcode 4.1? If so, could you please try to download the 10.7 docs (in the Documentation panel in Preferences) and let me know how it goes.

I'm trying to update a codeless kext for 10.7 - the problem I'm having is that when I try to load the kext I'm getting a report that com.apple.kernel.libkern version number 6.0 is incompatible with x86_64. Does anyone know which version number I should be using? UPDATE: The kernel extension was old and crappy enough that it was specifying the flat-out wrong bundle name. I updated it to com.apple.kpi.libkern, set the version number all the way up to 11, and it loaded happily

Anyone know if there's an Incremental Store Programming Guide yet? On Apple's site & in the docs with Xcode 4.1 it mentions it, but there aren't any links. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/CoreData/Reference/NSIncrementalStore_Class/Reference/NSIncrementalStore.html It looks really nifty and is definitely something I'd like to look closer at.

Is it feasible to make a game in HTML5, deploy it on a bunch of platforms, including iOS through PhoneGap? Do you lose out on anything important going that route (IAP, performance, etc etc)? We've got an idea for a game that we want to do a prototype for, but collectively our iOS experience is pretty light. HTML5, however, we can do much faster. However, we want a native app on iOS so we can take advantage of the app store. Fate Accomplice fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jul 26, 2011 |

The first time I realized that performance in the simulator and performance on an iOS device were two completely different things was a sad day indeed  fake edit: Nice to see that in six months off coding ObjC I've forgotten just about everything there is to know. Back to CS193P for me

Malloreon posted:Is it feasible to make a game in HTML5, deploy it on a bunch of platforms, including iOS through PhoneGap? Depending on the type of game, performance can be a lot worse. Even for 2D games, native apps try to use the GPU for drawing, both for the performance benefits and the decrease in battery consumption. Cocos2D is a pretty good native 2D game framework. I don't know how similar making games in HTML5 is to Flash, but people who know Flash say that Cocos2D's API is very Flash-like. It's very easy to learn. As to suff like IAP and GameCenter, it depends on what PhoneGap supports. Might want to wait and see how the whole Lodsys thing plays out.

Is there any way of downloading xcode 4.1 from apple other than the loving app store. Its been about 8 hours and its still only at about 10-15%. Having tried to flip open xcode to work on a contract this morning only to discover lion has invalidated my copy (ughhhh) I've lost an entire day to this poo poo and seeing no chance of an improvement. I can not stand this app store stuff. Just give me a goddamn website apple...

The app store uses Akamai for content delivery, and which server you end up downloading from is determined by DNS if I'm not mistaken. People who use alternate DNS servers have reported having slow Mac app store downloads until they switched back to using their ISP's DNS server.

Is the lag between touch event and drawing unavoidable? This is a new OpenGL ES project, with a simple draw frame that draws a circle for each touch point. drawFrame is running of an NSTimer. I tried pushing the drawFrame method only when touches were updated - but there was a noticeable bottleneck when lots of touches updated quickly (the frames would get backed up, then catch up as fast as they could). Is there a trick out there to avoid this? I'm drawing 2D only, simple geometric shapes.

I'm using dynamic instead of synthesizing because it's what the autogenerated code does when in a Core Data enabled project (I manually added CD into mine). Console just tells me "warning: Unable to restore previously selected frame." and 100 calls to the nonexisting setter followed by a malloc_gdb_po_unsafe... nvm, found a viewdidunload that mistakenly released my object ahead of time, I'm good now newreply.php fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jul 31, 2011 |

this is an app-related development question, but it's more business-based so feel free to ignore: what're some good ways to advertise your apps? and more importantly for me in the short-term, advertise that you do on-contract development services? I have a notice up on theymakeapps that's gotten me a couple hits, but anything else that's worked well for you would be great to know.

Doc Block posted:What interval are you using for the NSTimer? Have you tried using DisplayLink instead? Now that I take a closer look, it is running off of DisplayLink, with the interval set to 1 (I think this means its updating 60x / sec). Google is telling me that this is expected behavior, but I didn't know if there was any sorcery out there to tighten it up.

Try NSTimer with the interval set to something fast like 1/240. I've heard of people having issues with touches and DisplayLink.

I can't believe I can't figure out this problem on my own, and I can't believe I can't find the answer on Google either, but here goes: Is there a way to format a floating-point number so it displays without any trailing zeros? Like, a value of 5.125 should display as 5.125, but a value of 5 should display as 5 instead of 5.000, and 5.5 should display as 5.5 instead of 5.500. Is there any way to do this without resorting to manipulating the string after the face to remove trailing 0s and decimal points?

I've got this big dictionary in a plist of addresses, phone numbers, etc. I'm accessing it through a standard UINavigationController / UITableViewController setup, but there might be modes of the app where we want to open that data from whatever view we're in. So essentially: how do I create a view controller that takes/requires a parameter to instantiate correctly?

Also, NSTimers can effectively fire at a maximum 1/50 - 1/100 second. I've been toying with predicting where the touch should be by watching the change in coordinates, and adding that to the requested x/y position. It works, but it's jittery. Might be something in there, though.
