I need simple client-server communication with iPhone app, and XML property lists seem like quite easy and simple solution that saves me trouble of dealing with XML parser delegates and building these structures myself. I just wonder is it wise to use NSPropertyListSerialization class with external data? Are there any obscure plist feat...

I've created a custom subclass of NSCell with an NSImageCell, some NSTextFieldCells, and an NSPopUpButtonCell.

I'm working on a Core Data app (for iPhone 3.0, though I don't think that really makes a difference here) and it will need to ship with a "starter" database filled with data. With SQLite, I would just have the App copy the populated database from the bundle into the App's documents directory on first launch and then load that database - ...
Hi all, So I started my iPhone programming and have just uploaded my first game to the app store. However, I took the C++ & OpenGL & openFrameworks route, hence I am still entirely a newbie to the Cococa, Objective-C and the "authentic" Apple developer world. Right now I am learning through Beginning iPhone Development by Dav Mark, Jef...
I have a conundrum: I need to find a way to capture the raw audio data that is being piped to the Built-in Output on Mac OS X. Core Audio, HAL, etc. I can "listen" in on the Built-in Output and the mic, but neither of these appear to offer the correct data stream - the exact stream (all combined data from all input sources) that goes ...

Hi there, I'm looking for some library that will allow me to identify black dots on a white background. Preferably in C or objective-c. Also, what keywords can I use in my search for such algorithms? I've found a lot of stuff about image recognition but nothing that ressembles what I'm looking for. thanks! ...
How would one enumerate the installed browsers on an OS X system from a local app. I would like to build something like choosy, but different (long story). However, I would like to enumerate all installed browsers on the system. On windows, I can dive the installed browsers in the Default Programs registries, however, I don't believe th...
Hey, I have an method that reads an xml file and stores the xml nodes at a certain XPath-path in an NSArray called *nodes. What I want to do is take each one of the items in the array and add it to a core data entity called Category with the attribute of "name". I have tried a number of different ways of creating the entity but I'm no...

Given the example of an array like this: idx = [ 0xe, 0x3, 0x6, 0x8, 0x2 ] I want to get an integer and string representation of each of the specified items in Objective C. I have mocked up a ruby example which works perfectly: 0xe gives 14 when i run 0xe.to_i and "e" when i run to_i(base=16) 0x3 gives 3 when i run 0x3.to_i and gi...
I need to create a base64 string representation of an NSImage cocoa object. What's the best way of handling this, apple documentation seems to be a little short on the subject (or I just cant find it). Base64 encoding seems rather complex from the outside. Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers Alex EDIT NSArray *keys = [NSA...
Hi, I'm currently in the process of deciding whether or not to use Core Data for managing the data in my iphone application. The application involves putting together a fairly sizeable library of content which needs to be localised and has a fair few relationships. One benefit I thought of using core data would be that I could perhaps b...
