tarepanda posted:That's what I'm doing now -- my issue was/is that if I try saving directly to the album and they change the view before it actually does that, the photo ends up not being saved. Once there's some nontrivial logic involved the code for saving stuff to the assets library shouldn't really be in a view controller anyway, and once you split it off to its own class then having the object doing the saving outlive the view isn't really an issue. There's still the possibility of the app exiting before it's saved, which I handled by moving all of the assets library adding logic off to a background worker which monitors the cache directory and is spawned at app startup, so that anything which was waiting to be written is just done the next time the app is run. If you can get away with not doing stuff with the assets library it'd probably be much better for your sanity.

TestFlight has instructions on how to build an ad hoc distribution profile and build your app with it. Just leave out the parts about using TestFlight itself. Remember that your ad hoc distribution profile has to include every device you will be running the ad hoc build on. Then, send the ad hoc profile and build to your testers. They'll need to have their device plugged in, and then IIRC drag the ad hoc profile and the .ipa onto iTunes, which will install them on the device.

If you properly added the device and signed the archive with the updated distribution provisioning profile. I believe that all that is required on the users end is to click the link as the profile is included in the .ipa. (I could be very wrong on this but so far I have just told the testers to go to the page and click the link, everything has installed fine.)

In Cocos2D for iOS, when you do a scene transition that pushes the position of the old one off the screen while a new one comes onto the screen, it is changing the position of the scene, and not the layer inside of it, right? I'm trying to get the scene's position in CCActionEase while calling my own implementation's update method. I try this method in the update method, but it's throwing back 0.000000 even though the scene is transitioning off the screen: code:code:I know I'll probably have to do some conversation before I go hog wild with some kind of useful result, but shouldn't I be getting something other than 0?

Another question! UIPageControl didn't implement the setting of the currentPage and the page color icons until 6.0 (it seems). I was wondering why our app was breaking on 5.1 and it turns out that's the reason! Short of creating a custom page control, am I missing something glaring? The default white/light gray coloring doesn't work for my app.

You should only have to redistribute the ad hoc distribution profile if it changes (such as by adding/removing a device from it). Once the tester has the profile installed it will stay installed until they remove it or it expires. So, if you add another tester, you'll need to add that device to your list of development devices in the iOS Provisioning Portal on developer.apple.com/ios, add it to your ad hoc distribution profile, install your new profile into Xcode so it can sign builds with the updated ad hoc distribution profile (by going into Xcode Organizer and hitting the refresh button in the Profiles section or wherever), build with the updated profile, and then send your testers the new profile and build.

That's a great question! And yes, nothing happens. Something I just realized what I was doing this: id layer in CCEaseInWithPercentMult's update instead of CCNode* layer. When I use the CCNode pointer, the compiler freaks out and gives me a warning that CCNode may not respond to getJoinedMapsLayerPosition. After all, it is a CCNode, right?

Well method calls are only type-checked at compile-time, and I guess CCNode doesn't respond to that one. When you use id, the compiler assumes you know what you're doing and you can send any message at at all to it (as long as it's included from some header). I think calling a non-recognized selector isn't a fatal exception, just a no-op, so that might be what's happening, so set a symbolic breakpoint on -[NSObject doesNotRecognizeSelector:] so you'll immediately know when you're trying to call methods that aren't defined on some object. Where's getJoinedMapsLayerPosition defined? In a category or CCNode subclass or? Set a breakpoint right after [scene getChildByTag:0]; and check what is actually returned. po [layer className] in the debugger will tell you what class it actually is.

Calling an unrecognized selector is most definitely a fatal exception. Try it and see. The only object that won't throw an exception if you call a nonexistent selector on it is nil. LP0, the only thing I can think of is that you shouldn't assume that the transitions are implemented by moving the scene object.

My first app was approved today. Hooray! 9 days from submission to approval, if anyone's interested in that. It does have iOS6 and iPhone 5 layout support. I cheated and built it with Appcelerator Titanium. I am a JavaScript developer, so this let me go from installing Xcode to submitting an app in under two months. I appreciate this... although I am pretty interested in investigating the Xcode project it created.

Just by calling the method in CCEaseInWithPercentMult's update method by doing the following does NOT give me a log: Are you sure 'layer' is coming back as a valid pointer from the getChildByTag call? You can happily send messages to a null pointer and the code will just continue as if nothing's happened, unlike java/C++/etc where it would cause a null pointer exception. My own question: Is there a part of the toolchain I'm not aware of that informs you of any missing selectors you might be using? It seems strange to me that I can set my deployment target as iOS 4 and every Apple API has a macro next to it defining which iOS version it's available from, but there are no warnings when I use an API that's non-existant (and would cause a crash) on that OS version. I got burned by this recently when I released my first app and saw the crashes on day 1; I was setting a property on the GKAchievement class which only came in with iOS 5. Luckily Apple expedited the review of the one-line "respondsToSelector" fix, but I'd like to know the best way to avoid it in future.

Add the new device to your developer account. Open Xcode, then open the Organizer window. Click on the Devices tab. On the left, find your new device, then click on Use This For Development (or whatever, I forget the exact name). Xcode will add it to your profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile" (and create it if it doesn't exist). If you have your app set to build with automatic provisioning profile selection then that should be all you need to do. You'll still need to manually add it to any ad-hoc distribution profiles. I just have the team provisioning profile, my ad-hoc profile, and my app store distribution profile.

Yes, a wildcard profile, where its "com.pt6a.*" or whatever. I think there are some instances where you can't use one, like keychain access and iCloud AFAIK, but I could be wrong about that.

OK, I went back into the iOS Provisioning Portal, and here's the deal if you don't want to make provisioning profiles for every app you make: You need a wildcard App ID, so something like "ADFE86.whoever.*", and then you use that to create a provisioning profile. That provisioning profile will work for any app, except if you want to use Game Center, In-App Purchase, Passbook, and a few other things. In that case you can't use a wildcard App ID; you'll have to create one specific to the app, and create a provisioning profile that uses that App ID. If you aren't using those, though, let Xcode manage your profiles for you. It will create its own wildcard App ID, and create its own provisioning profile that uses it (which will show up in the iOS Provisioning Portal as "Managed by Xcode"). Then just change your app's build settings to the automatic profile selector.

Could someone please look at this and tell me if there's something wrong with the way I'm trying to set the exposure point-of-interest with AVFoundation? What should happen is that when the user taps on the view, the focus point and exposure point should be set there, and the camera should lock focus and exposure on that point. The focusing works, but no matter what exposure mode I try the result is always the same: that exposure mode isn't supported by the device. Yet I know that isn't true, since it works in other camera apps on the same devices (testing on iPhone 4 and iPhone 5), and doing [device isExposurePointOfInterestSupported] returns YES.

Thank you, I actually really never noticed id allows me to call any method whether it exists or not! getJoinedMapsLayerPosition is in a CCScene. I think I have a misunderstanding what runningScene does. It may not give access to the scene's class, but according to another post, it looks like it does. I've tried calling a method to the supposed layer that's added to the scene and the scene itself without any success. Doc Block, even though there is a chance that transitions are not implemented by moving the scene object, I've found that I had no luck calling a method from the running scene. I'm going to concentrate on getting there first and let you know how it goes. EDIT: Something rather interesting happened when I tried to point to my scene class with running scene and call a method from it: code:-[ExitLTransition getJoinedMapsLayerPosition]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x5e4e20 I guess for however Cocos2D works, it's trying to call the method in the transition class. I guess while running a scene transition using replaceScene with the transition kind (class), the scene becomes the transition?! i.e. code:LP0 ON FIRE fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Oct 8, 2012 |

id is a generic type for all Objective-C objects (i.e. you don't care what kind of object gets passed to a method so you just make the method take an id object), but that doesn't mean an object cast to id suddenly responds to all selectors. Check to see whether or not you're getting nil.

Found the answer to my own question. If you want to be able to tap on a part of the preview and have the camera expose for that point in the image, you have to use AVCaptureExposureModeContinuousAutoExposure instead of AVCaptureExposureModeAutoExpose. I was hoping you could just tap on an area and have the camera permanently lock the exposure settings to expose for that point (which is what the docs say AVCaptureExposureModeAutoExpose does), but AVCaptureExposureModeContinuousAutoExposure will at least expose for that area until there's a significant change.

I am making an app for my college radio stations wordpress based website. So far, grabbing the RSS data from the articles and putting that HTML into a webview with some custom CSS has been working great. In fact, the only issue we have is with the embedded JW audio player in some of the articles. When the page data is sent via rss, the embed code (which I think is just a shortcode anyways) just doesn't even show up at all where its supposed to be, not even the shortcode. We're not tied to using JW player on the site in any way and wouldn't mind switching to a different player to make the app easier. Does anyone know of a good imbedded HTML5 audio player that is easy to use on the web side and would show up right in the UIWebView? We already tried Soundcloud. It works alright, but looks kinda clunky, so I would like to look at other options before settling.

If the getJoinedMapsLayerPosition can be derived exclusively from data available to a CCTransitionScene instance (its properties, subNodes, layers, etc), you could add the method in a category and it'll work as long as you're getting at least some kind of transition scene. I assume ExitLTransition is some kind of CCTransitionScene.
