Hello everyone, just a quick question: I am a CS undergrad and have only had experience with the Eclipse, and Net Beans IDEs. I have recently acquired a Macbook and was wanting to recompile a recent school project in Xcode just to test it out. Right after the line where I declare a new instance of an ArrayList: dictionary = new Arra...
Just installed the latest SDK for iPhone 2.1. When I go to File -> New Project in XCode, under the iPhone OS Application selection, I don't see a template icon for "Cocoa Touch Application". Am I missing something? Anything else I need to download other than the iPhone SDK? If not, how do I add it to the "iPhone OS Application" templates...
Is there a way to view the key/value pairs of a NSDictionary variable through the Xcode debugger?

I've a fairly huge .gdbinit (hence not copied here) in my home directory.

I'm writing some semi-portable code and want to be able to detect when I'm compiling for iPhone. So I want something like #ifdef IPHONE_SDK.... Presumably xCode defines something, but I can't see anything under project properties, and google isn't much help. ...
I am developing an iphone application and have to parse xml files in order to put them into a database. I will also be using those same xml parsers in my app so users can import their own data.

How do I link an external .jar into my Xcode java project? That is, have it in the classpath during compilation and execution. I'm using Xcode 3.0 and this seems to have changed since 2.4. ...
I've been using Xcode for the usual C/C++/ObjC development. I'm wondering what are practical considerations, opinions of Xcode, Eclipse or NetBeans usage on a Mac for Java development? Please don't include my current usage of Xcode in your analysis. ...
I have a somewhat messily-formatted Objective-c code base. Is there a way to have Xcode reformat an entire project to conform to a coding standard (i.e., properly indent, spaces v. tabs, etc.)? Are there other tools that might accomplish this? ...
I'm a Mac developer with a very strong Java background. I've documented my sources using Javadoc, a lot. What's the way to go with Cocoa and Xcode? Are there any documentation tools supplied together with Apple's Developer Tools? Is Doxygen the way to go? What are the alternatives? Thank you all! ...
We are trying to make a project template, but the documentation on this is spotty or non-existent. Doing some reverse-engineering on some template files, we have come up with the following. However, it doen't actually work! First of all, we have figured out that project templates should be installed inside: ~/Library/Application Supp...
Is it possible to set an iPhone XCode project to skip the 'CompressResources' build step? Specifically, I want to skip the stage where it runs pngcrush on all of my .png files, many of which don't survive the experience in a form which my app can read. Edit: the version of pngcrush used creates png files which contain a non-standard 'm...
Using Xcode 3.1 on OSX 10.5; is it possible to attach (the debugger) to a running remote process? I know that it's possible to start and debug a remote process (as explained here), but it would be great if I could find a way to attach to an already running remote process... edit to add: Thanks. I've submitted a bug report to Apple. Wil...
When I run this code in the Simulator in the debugger or standalone [UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera] it tells me the camera is not available (returns NO), as expected. However, if I run the same code in the simulator in Performance Tool, it returns YES! My code (which works fine ...
I seem to be having an issue with iPhone SDK 2.1 in as far as being able to establish a relationship between a ViewController and a View window. In as far as a Cocoa Touch Class, I went forward and added a UIViewController subclass. I made sure that the target is part of the existing project. Right afterwards I added a User Interfaces ->...
Most of Apples documentation seems to avoid using autoreleased objects especially when creating gui views, but I want to know what the cost of using autoreleased objects is? UIScrollView *timeline = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, 320, 34)]; [self addSubview:timeline]; [timeline release]; Ultimately should I use ...

I'm building few command-line utilities in Xcode (plain C, no Cocoa). I want all of them to use my customized version of libpng, and I want to save space by sharing one copy of the library among all executables (I don't mind re-distributing .dylib with them). Do I need to do some magic to get libpng export symbols? Does "Link Binary Wi...
