Is there an official pluralization mentioned anywhere? I've always hoped it's meant to be "iPods Touch". (I say as I knowingly break the branding guideline that says it's "iPod touch".)

I'm updating code in Cocos2D to make a sprite mask.

I'm thinking _quad is a struct with member bl, which is why you have to use the underscore. Is that not true? Never used Cocos.

Here's a quick question, aimed towards people with experience with BlackBerry's level 1 paging system. I know nothing iOS development but, I was just wondering if it would be at all possible to write something similar to BB's level 1 paging system for iOS? My dad works for Delta Airlines as a chief pilot and often has to sleep next to his phone if poo poo hits the fan. Delta recently made the transition from blackberry's to iOS devices and lost the ability to set up personalized notification systems. One of which was the ability to suppress ALL notification noises outside a user specified list of phone numbers and emails that came through matching a specific email title / sender address. Apparently this is what Blackberry called their "level 1 messaging system"? I don't personally know, I've never used a BB. My dad complains constantly that the Iphone has nothing comparable to this feature, and seeing as how I'm going to have some free time this summer I figured I would delve into possibly solving this problem for him. Can it feasibly be done though? I figure if it could someone would have already attempted to put something similar out on the app store.

You might be able to do that with the Do Not Disturb feature, which lets you whitelist contacts and allow them to pierce the muting. In general asynchronous notifications are under Apple's control, not third party, so it's not possible to write an app that sits around in the background waiting for a rare network event. You would have significantly more freedom to do this if you jailbroke his device, but this thread is mostly for stock dev.

There's no rule against talking about jailbroken whatever here, as far as I know, so long as it's on topic. "How do I hook in to the Bluetooth stack on a jailbroken device" would be cool, "help me jailbreak my phone" would be off topic, "why can't I steal this app" would probably get you run out of town.

I have an object that fires out a number of values separated by a short delay. I do this using -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay to recursively call its 'fire' method until it's done. The catch is that it is running on the main thread, which means UI interaction blocks it from continuing. I would like this to run on another thread, but -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay has to be in a running NSRunLoop, which means GCD is out. Is there a simple way to do this that I'm just not seeing (after too much digging around GCD / NSRunLoop / NSThread docs)?

NSTimer attached to the runloop in common modes is probably what you want. CommonModes will allow the timer to fire even during user interaction, like if you want a timer doing a thing while the user is scrolling. On my phone, but it's roughly: NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer timerWith...]; [[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] addTimer:timer inModes:NSCommonModes]:

Not that that's the best solution. Running an NSTimer on the main thread will still block the main thread, so I personally wouldn't do it. Make a custom timer class that wraps GCD and mimics some of NSTimer's API. Have a cancel flag that prevents whatever was going to be executed from being executed. Done.

Why is the code clearly just copy pasted four times with minor tweaks to the "with an object" versions? He didn't even make the instance versions pass in the object it's being called on. And why is there a comment calling this a "nice clean implementation"??? God forbid you just define your own object. Oh wait he did but it isn't actually declared anywhere, instead he's abusing a closure as an object (see: closures are a poor man's objects, I guess) I bet he's so proud of how clever this implementation is.

I do this using -performSelector:withObject:afterDelay to recursively call its 'fire' method until it's done. Why can't you just create a "CancellationToken" object that you pass in with the block to dispatch_after() that uses one of the OSAtomic* instructions inside to ensure the cancel is set safely? Then the UI thread can trigger the cancel and the block can check the cancellation. Unless you are issuing a bazillion of these, it won't matter that you have walking dead tasks still in the queue because they'll exit almost immediately. I haven't tested this but: code:code:

I have a class that has a property that I want to be readonly publicly, but writable inside my class. So the .h looks like this: code:My coworkers write this in the .m: code:But somewhere along the line, I got the impression that you can just do this, and cut out the "readwrite" keyword altogether: code:In my own personal code, this is what I do, and it works, making the property writeable privately, but readonly publicly. My coworkers were amazed when I showed them this. When did this show up? Is it a bug with clang or LLVM? What's going on here?

The readwrite attribute is redundant, it's the default for a property that doesn't specify one. So I guess it's always been like that.

Axiem posted:I have a class that has a property that I want to be readonly publicly, but writable inside my class. Not a bug, I think that showed up pretty soon after class extensions became a thing. Might even have been contemporaneous. Left unspecified, properties default to readwrite, atomic (grr), and strong for object types or assign for value types. Also that string property should be copy, and it's usually worth specifying setter behavior even for readonly properties so that subclasses can redeclare the property if needed. (Unless you're certain you'll never be subclassed.)

Here's a random tip. If you want an immutable public property backed by a mutable private property, declare the public immutable property in a category in the header and the private mutable property of the same name in a class extension in the implementation.

If you want an immutable public property backed by a mutable private property, declare the public immutable property in a category in the header and the private mutable property of the same name in a class extension in the implementation. Less of a tip and more basic Objective-C language technique, though. Also, no need to have the public property in a category, it can just be inline with the class declaration.

pokeyman posted:Also that string property should be copy Point taken, though it's kind of immaterial to my question. It just seemed odd to me that it used to be that you had to declare explicitly that a variable was readwrite privately, but now you don't have to, and no one seems to have been notified of the change, and I can't find any reference to it online (though it's hard to google for). Why do keywords like readwrite, atomic, and strong exist if they're the default and therefore never should be used?
