Faldoncow: Jun 29, 2007; Munchin' on some steak

I've been having some issues lately trying to update Xcode through the appstore. The download will get up to 40-60% and then it just fails and I'm not sure why. Anyone had to deal with this and have any idea how I might fix it?

Restart your computer.

Find the cached partial download and delete it.

Download the full SDK from the developer center.

I much prefer to download the .dmg through the Downloads section. Just click 'Looking for an older version of Xcode?' and grab it from there.

I had the bright idea to include short videos for the Help section of my app. Also I like crushing my balls in a clamp.

Can anyone recommend a filetype / container / codec that a) is small and b) doesn't suck? I am clueless in Premiere when I go to export and have 10,000 export options.

edit: yay for google this is okay

Handbrake is actually pretty decent for transcoding. I find the options reasonable.

Hi again iOS thread! I'm doing an app where I'm trying to play a certain sound file every time a certain tile is tapped. My code for this section is down below, and the line that's giving me trouble is the fourth line from the top:

code:

NSString *audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:secondObject ofType:@"mp3"];

I would like pathForResource to be a variable, specifically the filename of the image associated with secondObject. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it, everything I do gives me either the red triangle of "oh no you didn't" or, like the way I have it set up now, it breaks the thread.

code:

if (firstObject != sender)
            {
				self.matchHit +=1;
				self.secondTouch = YES;
				self.secondObject = [buttonId objectAtIndex:[buttonId indexOfObjectIdenticalTo:sender]];
				
				[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
				[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];
				[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:secondObject cache:NO];
				[secondObject setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.png",[secondObject currentTitle]]] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
				[UIView commitAnimations];
				
				NSRange range =  NSMakeRange(0, 1);
				
				NSLog(@"firstString = %@ : secondString = %@",[[firstObject currentTitle] substringWithRange:range],[[secondObject currentTitle] substringWithRange:range]);

				if([[[firstObject currentTitle] substringWithRange:range] isEqualToString: [[secondObject currentTitle] substringWithRange:range]])
				{
					matchCount-=1;
					NSLog(@"Match. ^_^");
					self.matchFlag = YES;
					[self addScore:sender];
                    
                    AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
                    NSString *audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:secondObject ofType:@"mp3"];
                    NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:audioPath];
                    audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:nil];
                    [audioPlayer play];

This is the code with the broken thread that it gives me when I build it like it is now:

[code] return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));[/code

And this is the green highlighted message I get: Thread 1:signal SIGABRT

I've spent like five hours trying to figure this out, I'm getting better at this whole coding thing, but I'm glad there's goons that know these things way better than me!

Shouldn't it be

Objective-C code:

NSString *audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[secondObject currentTitle] ofType:@"mp3"];

?

Otherwise you're passing secondObject itself, which I'm assuming isn't an NSString.

Step 1 is to add a global breakpoint to the project that fires when an exception is thrown; that should tell you the exact line the error is coming from rather than bubbling up to main.

I have couple of really odd questions regarding push notifications.

Due to server error (I can't modify the server) push notes get sent out to devices that shouldn't be receiving them. I can use the information in the push notification to find out if it should be displayed or not. Is it possible to selectively suppress certain push notifications? (I suspect the answer is no, but just in case)

Is it possible to access all push notifications for given app that are currently on the device? I want it so if the app is opened from the icon instead of the push note I can process and consume all the push notifications manually. I'm not too worried if it requires undocumented functionality as this is only a stop gap measure for something that's not going to be publicly released for a while. Where it should hopefully be fixed. (Again I suspect the answer is no but this one is more likely)

Not to my knowledge, no. Unless the app is currently active, you won't be able to respond to the notification. I could be wrong though as I've only just started handling push notifications for our app.

You should be able to access all local notifications via

code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledLocalNotifications]

This didn't work. I've have several push notes but array is empty each time. Do push notes and local notes work of the same system? I thought that they didn't.

Sorry you're correct, you cannot do that. I don't believe your app has knowledge of all of its push notifications, just the one that it was opened with.

Intel Clang-based C++ Compiler, a new C++ compiler for OS X. If I'm reading this correctly, this should allow icc-like compiler performance with native OS X tools (Xcode, etc.). I'm curious to see what sort of performance gains this nets, but presumably they must be decent for Intel to go to this effort. I wonder if Apple pushed them on this at all.

I'd expect it's more of the opposite. If it's actually meaningfully better than clang, it makes it harder for Apple to switch to AMD or ARM.

nonatomic is probably the least interesting part of any given property declaration, why shouldn't it go last?

For a possibly helpful answer, see if you can use clang-format or uncrustify or something to fix it up for you and run it before commits.

You won't. We do not generally want to add compiler flags that subtly change the interpretation of the language. The existing dimensions of that (e.g. with -fobjc-arc) are bad enough.

You probably don't. Apple guidelines are for it to be (weak, nonatomic) I just embraced it internally when it did that after running the ARC converter on all of our MRC code.

I prefer nonatomic first because it keeps everything inline since nearly every single property is (nonatomic, foo).

Alas I've learned to give in as well.

I always change it. Not only do I do that, but I often separate my properties into logical sections, within which I alphabetize them. :shepface:

The rationale being that I rarely have merge conflict issues that are difficult to resolve, since I also strictly organize my methods into logical sections as well.

Heads up, apple seems to be auto rejecting apps that are improperly using ad identifiers.
If you use advertisingIdentifier you must also use advertisingTrackingEnabled even if you are using it for one of the approved non-ad purposes and especially if you are using it for ad purposes.
Now we have to wait while vendors/3rd parties update libraries.
Some affected libraries:

Facebook (on github so we can patch)
ComScore
Google admob

Do you have an example for the Facebook case? The SDK team is asking for them.

From the SDK team:

quote:

we grab advertisingTrackingEnabled; always have. definitely would like more detail on what they think they need to patch.

Edit edit: there's definitely something going on here, some recent change to how Apple handles IDFA. Team is looking at it, though they're also crazy with F8 today.

Thats what I'm talking about, seems Apple recently turned on some automated tool that might not be that great. They are just invalidating binaries.

We haven't found any cases where our SDK was the cause; we definitely already grab tracking. Do you have a developer I could ping about them getting bounced until they changed something in the SDK?

There may also be a checkbox or something the dev needs to select at upload about their use of IDFA, but I'm not certain.

Well iirc our rejection basically came after the binary was invalidated for misuse of "advertisingTrackingEnabled". A grep of the code base gave the above results from 3rd party libraries (we don't use advertisingTracking) so I think there is a chance it's not facebook's fault, it could be the other two but the message from apple is just a smack on the wrist it's up to us to figure out the cause.
