I've seen a lot of iPhone apps that will dim the screen with an activity indicator when it's updating or downloading something to let the user know it's busy. I know how to do the activity indicator but how do I go about doing the dimming? Please post example code if you can. ...
Testing an application built with iphone's sdk 3.0. Based on experience, I know that bugs will manifest on hardware that will never appear in the simulator, so the simulator will only take me so far. Is it possible to put the 3.0 beta firmware (not sdk) on a hardware device, and if so where can I find the beta firmware? Or do I have t...
Question about bundles and file access. I've adding a series of folders to my project (using the Add existing file option). This results in the folder contents being shown in Xcode as a blue folder. The following works: NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/File-03/images/image-%02d.jpg", imageIndex]; return [UIImage im...
I have a UITextView and 2 UITextField set up. UITextView resigns first responder status when empty part of the screen is tapped, the same for the 2 UITextField, plus for these 2, the return key also resigns first responder status. All 3 are declared in interface. I would like to get the contents of all of these to individual NSString an...

I have a UIView that has controls built based off a date. I want to flick to change the date and refresh the UIView with an animation like the paging animation. Is that possible? I do not want to create multiple copies of my UIView because it is already close to exceeding memory. 2 copies of my UIView would definitely crash the phone...
Very often, when I run my unit tests for my iPhone project, XCode feels like making the actual errors disappear from the errors and warnings group. These errors are often under the general sub-item of that group, and often when I need to read the text of the error in detail, all errors disappear and all I have left are the build warning...

I am unit testing an application on the iPhone, and I'm trying to develop a built-in method to record a specific action that users make to interact with my application. I would like for this data to be transported back to me in some way. Originally, I had a method of collecting this information, but I had to be around. This was with n...
I am currently using the google maps' reverse geocoding API to convert long/lat received from an iPhone's CoreLocation API into city/state information on a google app engine server. Would this be considered a violation of the terms? I've done some research and cannot find a direct answer to this question. Right now, we will be distrib...

I have an odd situation. I have a macbook that I use for work and I am an approved iPhone developer, etc. I would like to build iPhone apps to put out under my name (they should be kept and tracked separately from the work license I have, since that really belongs to the organization and not me), but I don't want to buy another mac. C...
Hi, in my (puzzle) game the pieces are drawn on-screen using a CALayer for each piece. There are 48 pieces (in an 8x6 grid) with each piece being 48x48 pixels. I'm not sure if this is just too many layers, but if this isn't the best solution I don't know what is, because redrawing the whole display using Quartz2d every frame doesn't seem...
Say I have a web service API that accepts a zipcode as a parameter, but I only have access to a GPS coordinate (latitude, longitude). How can I dynamically lookup the zipcode that the coordinate belongs to? I'm doing this work on the iPhone, so hopefully there's a simple way to do this within the CoreLocation APIs that I'm overlooking i...
