I've noticed some weird behavior with NSBundle when using it in a command-line program. If, in my program, I take an existing bundle and make a copy of it and then try to use pathForResource to look up something in the Resources folder, nil is always returned unless the bundle I'm looking up existed before my program started. I creat...
Something changed recently in OSX. Some legacy code used to test for the existence of a file by opening it in read only mode. This has worked "since forever". For some recent versions of OSX, including snow leopard, this process fails with errno=2 "No such file" if the file is a network share which is alreday open for read/write acce...

Hi, I have a curious problem with WebKit and WebView. All my other URLs seem to work fine, but when I try to load a site with a lot of flash content, the whole app crashes. The app again functions fine if I customize webview to prevent plugins from running. What's more curious is my dev machine seems to be the exception with all the co...

I'm trying to automate the process of building iphone apps with a particular certificate. So imagine if different users uploaded their cert into the system and it was immediately available to code sign against. I want to do this without any interaction. I also don't want to clutter up the system or logon keychain with different user cert...

I have created a CGBitmapContext of 256 x 256 and I have a CGImageRef that I want to draw into this context. My goal is to crop the image (and ultimately create tiles of an image), but if I use CGContextDrawImage, Core Graphics scales the image to fit the context. So the question is, how do I make sure that only a portion of the CGImage...

I have an mp3 playing application written in C# which I would like to port to OSX. As it uses DirectShow to play mp3 I realise that I will need to recode the audio playback part. I found Apple's playfile sample which uses AUGraph. The Binding Cocoa section of http://www.mono-project.com/MonoMac mentions the "much simpler AudioToolBox ...
