There are certain portions of my app that would be better to highlight to the user if they're on the phone. Is there a call to check to see if we're on the phone? Unfortunately, "call" is a horrible word to check for in API documents for obvious reasons. ...

Can anyone tell me what will happen to these apps? So far they they are fine, approved and selling with the added benefit that we are able to test the actual b...
I'm looking to re-create the Apple Store shopping cart sidebar. http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB535LL/A?mco=MTA4MTg3NTQ It is similar to "position: fixed" except that it starts out as "position: absolute" with the CSS class "pinned_top" and then switches to CSS class "floating" when a certain scroll-y position is reached. I've ...
Hi, I'd like to make sure a user uses a good version of the iphone app. The idea I had was that whenever a user opens the native iphone application he sends a request to the server with the version number of the application.

I started using groups in Xcode the same way I use packages in Java or namespaces in C++, even though groups have no effect on the language. Then I discovered Smart Groups and realised that it's sort of pointless to have my code neatly organised in "folders". Do you use groups? If so, how and why? ...
Microsoft offers a bunch of incentives for developers (like MSDN) and startups (like BizSpark) to get them to develop software for the Microsoft platform with less investment. MSDN for example allows me to test my software on every version of Windows in existence without buying a full license to that version. BizSpark is even better, giv...

I have a solid idea how GCD works, but I want to know more about the touted "operating system management" internals. It seems almost every technical explanation of how Grand Central Dispatch works with the "Operating System" is totally different. I'll paraphrase some of my findings. "It's a daemon that's global to the OS that dis...

Is it possible to determine when an app is closing whether it is done by normal means (home button) or because an ad was clicked (admob ad for this example)... Admob doesn't have anything that would help accomplish this goal does it? Any ideas where to start would be greatly appreciated... ...
Hi all, I just bought a Magic Mouse and I like it pretty much. But as a Mac Developer it's even cooler. But there's one problem: is there already an API available for it? I want to use it for one of my applications. For, example, detect the user's finger positions, swipe or stretch gestures etc... Does anyone know if there's an API for...
