Question

MPMoviePlayerViewController for older versions of iPhone SDK

Answer 1

A:

Hi there, I was dealing with exactly the same problem as you. unfortunately, if you want it work well there's no way around "double-coding" your moviePlayer related ViewControllers.

so within your implementation for 3.0 you will have to use MPMoviePlayerController (which has certain limitations, compared to the newer MPMoviePlayerViewController implementation) .

cheers,

So Are you saying I essentially need two separate builds?One for 3.2 and above and the other for 3.1.3 and below? As in I actually have to submit the app twice?

no, no you got me wrong on that. what you have to do is implement ONLY your MoviePlaying-ViewControllers twice, then you have for example your MoviePlaybackViewController3 and MoviePlaybackViewController4 the first one using MPMoviePlayerController the latter one using MPMoviePlayerViewController... then within your App differentiate between the OS the app is currently running on hence load/display the version of your MoviePlaybackViewController.

From various threads and procrasination I've discovered the only known way to do it is to use the practice:Class classToCheck = (NSClassFromString(@"MPMoviePlayerViewController"));if (classToCheck != nil ){ Use new SDK Code}else{ Use the old SDK code.}
