How to Distribute your iOS Apps Over the Air We've been using Apple's Wireless distribution method for sending out beta invites of Geoloqi. It's a much easier process for our beta testers than syncing with iTunes to install the app! They just click on a link from their phones, and they can download the app immediately! How, you ask? Apple has made this possible since iOS 4.0, but not many developers have noticed it's available. First, build and archive your application from XCode. Open Organizer if it's not already open. This is the critical step. Next you'll need to fill out the form that appears. At this point, XCode prompts you to save the files to a folder. You just need to create a web page with a link to the .plist file using the special itms- protocol. <a href="itms- When someone clicks the link from their iPhone, they'll get a prompt that says "loqi.me would like to install Geoloqi." Note: This is not going to get you around the 100-device limit that Apple imposes.
Roundup: Hidden Object Games on the iPad | Just Another Mobile Monday I am a huge fan of hidden object games. I have been enjoying them on my mobile devices ever since my early days with Windows Mobile and the Dell Axim. I always felt, however, that the small screens on most mobile devices limited these games. A larger screen, it seemed, would allow for a more complex level of difficulty due to the increased detail available to developers. As such, I was pretty excited to dive into this genre an the iPad. Unfortunately, the waters of this genre turned out to run much deeper than expected. Alice in Wonderland Hidden Objects: This was the first hidden objects game I tested out on the iPad, and I have to say I found this game from the developers at Warelex to be a bit of a mixed bag. Once you get into each of the levels, however, the Alice in Wonderland theme dissolves into a series of more or less unrelated garden scenes, each of which (obviously) contains a list of items for you to discover within the image.

Tips to Help Identify Scam Apps | iOS Affairs I couldn’t reblog this gem because it isn’t on WordPress, but I just read a blog from February at AppAdvice and wanted to relay these tips to my readers (sorry I’m so behind on my blog reading). Check blogs and websites that are reliable sources for app advice (like mine and AppAdvice’s, but mine at least :)). There is apparently some rule that app reviewers do not take money to do reviews. Read the original article for other great tips and make sure to let me know about bad developers or apps. That’s it for me. Like this: Like Loading...

Get over it, haters – apps really are the future, says Wired publisher There has been a growing revolt in the publishing community against the idea that iPhone and iPad apps are the best route to digital dollars. The Financial Times shuttered its apps this month, while a popular essay by another publisher lamented that apps were a “collective delusion” and an expensive failure. That’s bunk, according to Wired publisher Howard Mittman, who said in a recent interview that apps have proven “incredibly profitable” and touts the publication’s 165,000 tablet subscribers (65,000 of these are pure-digital subs). Mittman adds that Wired readers also spend a significant amount of time with the tablet version and that he “missed the memo” about the failure of apps. So what’s going on? To understand, it’s useful to consider the key complaints set out by Technology Review’s Jason Pontin in his influential “Why Publishers Don’t like Apps” essay from early May, including: The proof will ultimately be in the revenue pudding, of course.
xcode concatener 2 chaines - Forum de macfr.com Il y a plein de manières des faire ça en effet. Déjà, dans ton code tu faisais un "=" qui comme dit plus haut attribuait à une variable Var1 une NSString, donc même si Var1 était déclaré NSMutableString, au final dedans c'était un NSString comme objet. Ensuite à un moment tu as mis directement [NSMutableString initWithString:...], or "NSMutableString" est une classe, et "initWithString" est une méthode d'instance (donc à appeler sur un objet) et non une méthode de classe. On n'appelle jamais directement "init" sur une classe, on passe par alloc + init, ce qui donne [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:...]. Et si tu fais ça, il ne faut alors pas oublier de balacer le "alloc+init" par un "release" à faire plus tard quand tu n'as plus besoin de ta variable (ou un autorelease). Lire la doc sur la gestion de la mémoire pour ça, c'est un concept très important et la base de la programmation ObjC NSMutableString* var1 = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@ !"
100 iPad Tips and Tricks.pdf Don't Be A Sucker In The App Store: A Guide On Finding Good Apps Well, 2012 certainly has proven to be a very interesting year, in terms of the App Store. This seems to be the year of the rise in “scam apps”: apps that are purposely designed (and disguised) to trick customers into thinking that it is the real deal. In February alone, we have had “Temple Jump,” “Temple Guns,” “Clear Todo,” and even a pair of fake Pokemon apps. Oh look! What do apps like these have in common? Whatever the case may be, these are all apps that you should be staying away from. What Can You Do? Check Curated Websites And Blogs The most important tool that can help you find legit apps is to check the Internet for reliable sources of information, such as us here at AppAdvice, as well as many other popular Apple-related sites. There is actually the O.A.T.S policy that most sites abide by nowadays (including us here at AppAdvice). Know the Quality Developers This may be a bit harder to do, especially if you are just entering the world of apps. Social developer? Now, let’s share!

Rules of photo composition Photography Composition - Your Photo as a Story Photo Composition Rules What is a photograph? It is a story. What is a story? It is is a series of sentences connected to each other. To increase the expressiveness of your digital pictures, apply the picture composition rules while taking the photos or modeling their edges. Rule of Thirds The Rule of Thirds is based on the fact that the human eye is naturally drawn to a point about two-thirds up a page. Your landscapes will be optimally pleasing to the eye if you apply the Rule of Thirds when you place your horizon line. Golden Section Rule It has been found that certain points in a picture's composition automatically attract the viewer's attention. To get a clearer sense of these special "Golden" composition points, imagine a picture divided into nine unequal parts with four lines. Diagonal Rule One side of the picture is divided into two, and then each half is divided into three parts. Tips for Beginners Don't be afraid of breaking rules!
