smug forum asshole: Jan 15, 2005

I need help with something basic:

In the sample MoveMe app that Apple provides, the AppDelegate implementation starts off with a different method and return type:

code:

-(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application

than I get when I create a new project in Xcode 4:

code:

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

The books I'm trying to learn from also start with the one that returns void, which is apparently some older boilerplate code that's no longer in use? Can someone explain this difference? I really want to move on, but I'm hesitant to do so because I wonder what else may be different, and I don't want to get off on the wrong foot.

I hope I've been clear enough. Thanks :unsmith:
