(ARC) Automatic Reference Counting Tutorial And Guide Page. Automatic reference counting (ARC) was introduced in the iOS 5 sdk to free Objective-C programmers from having to handle memory management by making memory management the job of the compiler. If you developer with Objective-C prior to the iOS 5 SDK or talked to Obj-C programmers then you are probably aware of how tedious task memory management could become.
When using ARC there is no need for retain and release calls, and not only that in many cases ARC can provide a significant performance increase. You can read many of the fine details about automatic reference counting in the official documents on the LLVM website here. On this page you’ll find tutorials and guides giving a general overview of ARC and handling specific cases. If you’d like to submit an ARC related tutorial you can do so here. Other iOS 5 SDK related tutorials can be found on the iOS 5 tutorial page.

Vfr.org | Scito te ipsum. iOS Newsstand Tutorial - Viggiosoft Blog. A new way to distribute magazines Since the beginning of the iPad era, one of the most appreciated features in the tablet has been the possibility to read magazines and newspapers. Practically all major publishers (and a lot of minor) have created their own magazine and newspaper apps and the first in-house experiments have grown with increasingly better applications. Besides a lot of software companies followed this path, the major ones by providing their own publishing system and a lot of other start-ups simply exist to offer their services to create custom apps for their customers. While Apple in the time applied several regulations, e.g. limiting the possibility to purchase issues outside the In App Purchase system, or introducing a subscription mechanism, it behaved before iOS 5 mainly as an observer, limiting its own participation in the app arena with the iBooks app, dedicated to books.
So how a Newsstand app differ from other apps? Application setup Basic app Enabling for Newsstand. Newsstand and Subscriptions - Viggiosoft Blog. Two different concepts In my previous article on the subject I explained how to create an app that supports the Newsstand feature introduced by Apple with iOS 5. The concepts explained in that post provide the technical references needed to build an app that is able to retrieve and download any new content, even in the background, and update the cover-like icon in the Newsstand app. Unfortunately while technically an app build in this way is completely functional, it wouldn’t be approved by Apple if sent for review. The reason for this is that Apple requires that each app compatible with Newsstand must offer its contens using an iTunes managed subscription.
Subscriptions are a rather new concept. They have been initially introduced with iOS 4 but their support has been greatly improved by Apple after a long discussion taken with publishers in order to build a business model acceptable for everybody.

Introduction One of the most appreciated features by iPad users is the possibility to read books, magazines and newspapers. Practically all major publishers are in the App Store with apps dedicated to their products but there also many other minor publishers, in every country, that entered in the iOS world with one or more apps. Today a publisher that wants to enter in the App Store with his own magazine has several decisions he needs to make. Some of these are: is it better to publish a specific app for the magazine or use a newsstand app as Zinio?
In case we decide to use our own app, should we contact an iOS dev to have a tailored product or use a web-based service that provides us in short time with a standard app? Of course all these decisions will have impact on development costs, web services hosting and maintenance and finally the magazine design flow. Part 1 – Architecture The scheme below shows the three main screens of a typical magazine app. The first screen is the Store screen. How to make a magazine app in iOS – Part II. Welcome to the second part of this tutorial.

Finally we’re now able to provide our example magazine app with the double iOS4/iOS5 compatibility. I will not spend my time explaining all the Newsstand features, all in all we’re creating a magazine app here and the Newsstand implementation details go beyond our original purposes. The example app The screenshot shows the final appearance of the app. The full app code is available on GitHub. I have setup this app using the basic single window Xcode template and then added the two main components in the application delegate startup method: The two components are: Models and Controllers.

Digitalpubsuite_help.pdf (application/pdf Object) App Store-safe Page Curl animations. Update February 22, 2013: Please do not use the code I present in this article anymore. The iOS SDK has progressed tremendously since I wrote this post in 2010, and now provides a native implementation of the page curl gesture/animation in the form of UIPageViewController. This API is a lot more flexible and easier to use than the Leaves project discussed here. Even if its usefulness is questionable, the page curl has become one of the signature effects of Apple’s iOS devices so it is no surprise that many developers would like to implement this effect in their apps. iBooks on the iPad doing a page curl The problem is that the page curl animation used by Apple is not exposed in a public and documented API.
I hope Apple makes this public in the future (and if you want to have it, too, you should file a bug and request it). The end result is not quite as stunning as Apple’s solution but it is a very good workaround. Page curl in the Leaves project in side-by-side view. iOS Development Videos. Tom Brow.
