With the advent of the iPhone 3GS' video capability - does anyone know if Apple bundled the ability to capture the device screen as a video? Note: I know this question has already been asked regarding previous handset versions but I am specifically asking about the 3GS where this functionality seems more plausible. Update: until I hear...
Will using PinchMedia and including Core Location frameworks make it unusable on the iPod Touch which doesn't have GPS? If so, is there a way to minimize this dependency since my actual application doesn't care? It would be nice to see, but basically I'm trying to use it to provide feedback from users on things they'd like to see improve...
I am wondering if anyone has any real world numbers on performance differences between an old sqlite application which has been converted to Core Data in the 3.0 SDK. I suspect that under the hood Core Data is just using sqlite anyways and that it add's a bit of overhead for the cost of convenience, but i thought i would ask anyways. ...

I've got some UIViews that I'd like the user to be able to "flick" across the screen. They're not scroll views. They simply contain a raster image (png).

I'm developing a mobile site using IUI. It's a framework that makes web pages look like IPhone dialogs. I have a tree-like catalog and on a certain level the page asks for a password to proceed. I'm not quite used to IPhone and failed to find a native dialog with a password check that can fail. What is the "IPhonic" way to handle an ...
In an iPhone application I'm developing I have a Image View that displays eyes and I want to make them blink, an obviously blinking is a random thing, it can't be routine and keep repeating like a UIImageView Animation would do on repeat.

I have buttons in my navigation bar and in a toolbar subview of a container view whose enabled property depends on app state. Currently the buttons are set in viewWillAppear, so the right thing happens if I navigate away from the view then return. I thought [containerView setNeedsDisplay] would do the trick, but no. (I have UITextViews ...

I want an array which contains only unique items. I know I could do this with an NSDictionary adding items with keys and then get allKeys. This would ensure that the NSArray contains only unique items, but I feel that this would be overkill and believe that there should be an easier way to do this, but cannot find one. ...

Hi there; I'm building an iPhone app, and my app copies a bunch of resources to the App's Documents directory on first install. While I'm developing the app, I simply modify files in the App's Documents directory for the iPhone Simulator to make it easy to test out things without having to rebuild the app. But when I do rebuild the ap...
In OS3.0 a lot of plain table views have an initially hidden search bar that can be accessed by scrolling down to reveal it (e.g. mail, ipod). Is it possible to do the same thing for a grouped table view? Background: I'm using a grouped table view as a static navigation menu (similar to the Things app). The content never changes, it...
