Automatic incremental build number in xCode 4.3

Hi,

I have always wondered how to get a better build number in my projects, instead of having to change is manually. So, I finally googled it and found a solution. Or better yet, found several… but none working for xCode 4.3.

In xCode 4.3 you can actually change the build number manually in the project settings. I have not found a solution yet to activate an automatic build number update, however I have not search so much for that either.

The purpose of this website is to find your location quickly and easily. This can be very usefull when developing iOS applications using your current location.

Take a look at, http://whereiam.at and let me know what you think of it!

An open letter to…

flattr this!

… all whom are or thinking of parsing the City Bikes data for Stockholm.

I felt I needed to write this post since I have been thinking about a “twitter” conversation I had a few weeks ago with some Spanish dude.

Since I have the sole right to the Clear Channel API’s for the Citybikes in Stockholm, I choose not to share these publicly with 3rd parties. This (off course) seems to annoy some people. Shortly after I received a question from an other developer regarding why I don’t want to share these publicly.

XCode 4: CoreData Tab Bar Application template

flattr this!

Hi,

When apples released its XCode application, it never added CoreData support to the Tab Bar Application template… although, in my case I usually want this feature. So… now I need to create a Tab Bar Application and a Window-based Application and copy the CoreData stuff from one to the other.
This is, off course, very annoying. So, what I want is to adapt the current templates to support even Core Data… “F*cking hell, this is most likely a mess to get working”… but I was wrong.
It is much easier to do in XCode 4 then it is in XCode 3.x. I am not going to cover XCode 3 cause I have gone over to the dark side (= XCode 4).

Programming Objective-C in XCode 4 – iPhone iOS 4.3 Hello, World! tutorial

flattr this!


Hi,

Somewhat days ago Apple released a new version of XCode, and a lot of stuff is new in this version. Thereby also the layout of the application, interface builder and the way an application can be constructed.
But, for those of you completely new to development for iOS devices (and for those of you new to XCode 4 or for you who just want to shape up a bit? =S), I wrote a Hello World for XCode 4, iOS4.3.

So, lets get started.
