Provisioning Toggle

Friday, October 31st, 2008

If you develop iPhone SDK apps for the AppStore and the Jailbreak community you know the need bypass normal code signing in Xcode so you can do your own.

‘Provisioning Toggle’ quickly toggles you between requiring Provisioning in Xcode and not, and alerts you to the update using Growl.

‘Provisioning Toggle’ is a free download for Mac OS X.

Phoenix NSCoder Night

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

I am proud to introduce NSCoder Night for Phoenix.

If you haven’t heard of NSCoder Night, here is a brief intro (partially borrowed from the website)

NSCoder Night is a weekly event where Cocoa developers come together for some coding and camaraderie in the relaxed atmosphere of a coffee shop or pub with a wireless network.
Unlike more formal meetings like CocoaHeads there is no presentation, just hanging out with other (similar interest) geeks and working on your own projects or group projects. It is a great way to gain a IRL (in real life) friendship with other developers, as well as getting help on something you are stuck on.

It is kind of similar to how we go somewhere after XCodePhoenix meetings, but with your laptops and more frequently.

As there is no presentation it is a low key come and leave as you need type of meet-up.
If you can’t make it one week, thats ok, make it the next week.

The Phoenix chapter of NSCoder Night will be meeting Tuesdays at 7pm at Coffee Rush @ Gilbert and Baseline in Gilbert.

Fell free to to tell all your dev friends and we hope to see you there.

iPhone SDK First Thoughts

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I got a chance to play with the new iPhone SDK tonight and… man has it changed.

They have changed a ton of things, and in my opinion have made it more difficult in their attempt to make it easier.

The one thing I was really looking forward to was the Interface Builder for iPhone, however, in this release of the SDK it does not exist.
The main reason I was looking forward to this is because right now you have to spend a lot of time pixel pushing everything around. Figuring out heights and positions based off of screen size minus other elements, etc. then testing to see how it works, then tweaking and checking again, and that continues over and over.

With Interface Builder I would be able to just drag and drop to where it looks good first time.
Not to mention that this would make it so I wouldn’t have to figure out how all the new GUI elements are packaged in the new API.

The Simulator however is GREAT!
Major time saver.

So my verdict right now is it is a bit of a pain.
At least coming from the unofficial SDK.
Once we get the IB I think it won’t be as bad.

My biggest complaint is that with all these changes it means I have to REWRITE all my apps! :-(
