I've created some wrapper functions that encapsulate working with CoreAudio, and the goal is to create a C library that I can use with some command line C++ tools. So far things are working well. I took a sample project, modified it, and it builds and runs in XCode. I'd like to skip XCode altogether and build the library with gcc and ...

I have seen many .h ( Private API's ) of apple. Most of the variables / structures / enums / classes have _ as prefix. #import <Foundation/NSValue.h> #import <Foundation/NSObjCRuntime.h> @class NSString; typedef struct _NSRange { NSUInteger location; NSUInteger length; } NSRange; My question is, What is reason behind giving...
MonoTouch seems like a great platform for iPhone development, but I'm concerned about deploying it to the Apple Store. Are there any examples of applications built with it that are currently available on iTunes? We're starting a new project for the iPhone, and keeping the entire stack in C# would be great, but we don't want to incur th...

Using the Web Clip section, it's easy to add the webclip to home screen, however, and here are the main issues: - The webclip doesn't show up the png icon d...
I've heard reports that Apple will reject applications that use excessive amounts of bandwidth. The number that I've heard is a maximum of 1MB/minute of bandwidth usage. Although I've seen this number on various boards, I haven't been able to find an explicit statement from Apple's guidelines that speak to this. I'm looking to strea...
I'm working on Interface Builder. I don't like the fact that I have to manage multiple windows. For example if I open two xib files I can easily have six different windows scattered across my window. One problem is bringing these windows together to make a sensible arrangement. Another problem is Interface Builder doesn't remember this a...
I would like to implement a full text search in an iPhone application. I have data stored in an sqlite database that I access via the Core Data framework. Just using predicates and ORing a bunch of "contains[cd]" phrases for every search word and column does not work well at all. What have you done that seems to work well? ...
I was planning to use a dock menu similiar in looks and behavior to the Mac OS X dock menu in an application. It seems that apple have patented their dock about a year ago. I've seen some websites that use a similiar dock, the article also lists a few applications that use a similiar style. What is the legal stand of this? Is this a vio...

Hello, I wrote an app in cocoa with a window document with a PDFView inside. I am trying to intercept scrollWheel: events in the PDFView but for some reason that method is never passed to the PDFView. Instead the view scrolls down or up depending on your perspective. scrollWheel: is part of the responder chain so I expect the method to...

What is, according to you, the most important topic (chapter) covered by the iPhone Developer Documentation? Do you know another topic that is very important to you, yet rarely read by other developers? I would like to print and read some important chapters, but I may forget something... ...
I'm wondering if it is possible to use Scripting Bridge (as discussed here) in C. What I'm trying to do is control and/or get information from Apple applications (such as iTunes, see link listing 2.1 & 2.2 on above link) which is fairly easy using Objective-C. I could write those parts in Objective-C using C, but that would get pretty c...
I am sure they use something really fancy to create their documentations and guides. Everything is so streamlined and equal, and they always have a HTML and a PDF version. Now we make a big framework and want to provide a good documentation that's set up the way Apple does it. Online in HTML format and offline in PDF. Any idea how the A...

I have an app that I want users to be able to pay a small fee to remove ads from. I figure the best way to do this (the app needs to remain free) is via an in-app purchase. I'm wondering however the best way to go about removing the ads and how to do it once the user has bought the upgrade. Any help or advice would be great thanks. ...
