Re: iPhone cannot compile 2.2 SDK application for 3.0 SDK

[Devon Ferns]

It seems to be a bug with GCC 4.0.  Set the compiler to GCC 4.2 for  
SDK 3.0 or higher.

This looks like you're missing the @end from the bottom of a class

Re: What's wrong with my NSMutableArray?

[Devon Ferns]

You need to retain your array since arrayWithCapacity returns an 
autoreleased object.


And in dealloc, release the array, and set to nil if you want to but not 
necessary.

This is so simple I know the answer will embarrass me.
This is an iPhone app.
I've got an NSMutable array declared in my EAGLview.h file

NSMutableArray *boxes;

I init and fill it in the EAGLview's initWithCoder method

boxes = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:NUM_BOXES];
   
for(i = 0; i < NUM_BOXES; i++)
{   
Box *abox = [[Box alloc] init];

[boxes addObject: abox];
}   


In EAGLview dealloc I

boxes = nil;

Later on in program flow, in EAGLview, if I try to access boxes in 
anyway, I crash into the debugger


[boxes objectAtIndex: 0];

or even

NSLog(@"mode5 boxes  %@",  boxes);

will crash

What am I missing? What's wrong with my NSMutableArray?
My only guess is it's in my for loop, I need to release abox?

Re: Aquatic Prime + PayPal With Multiple Apps?

[Devon Ferns]

With Paypal IPN you can put in custom variables or different URLs for 
different products like /ipn.php?product=1, /ipn.php?product=2 etc.
In your php script you could just load the correct key pair depending on 
the URL parameters or custom variables passed.

i've been researching aquatic prime and it doesn't seem easy to have
multiple apps if licenses are purchased thru PayPal.

Aquatic Prime + PayPal requires Auto Return to be turned on, and a
Return URL to be supplied.  the return URL leads to the .PHP file that
produces the license and and automatically sends it thru email.   the
supplied .PHP scripts are set up for one set of keys (Public Key and
Private Key)... different apps should have a different set of keys so
that purchasing one license for one app will not work on all apps the
developer offers...

the only thing i can think of is to have PayPal's Return URL be
directed to some sort of If/Else .PHP script that would load the
appropriate .PHP scripts for the appropriate purchased license, but
what would the variables be with paypal?

does anyone have experience with multiple apps and Aquatic Prime?

Re: Security With Show Package Contents?

so i was a little put off after purchasing iWork '09, because i could

showing package contents.  as far as i know the only way for someone
to crack an application is to have access to the package contents
which lists the Unix Executable File in the Mac OS folder.  i guess
there's also the possibility to swap out frameworks (particularly
Aquatic Prime framework if the framework is installed instead of the
Aquatic Prime library)... since apps are really just folders with a
.app extension, wouldn't it be possible to disable "Show Package
Contents", as with the new .pages files, so that it would make the app
more secure (if not impossible to crack)?  couldn't Apple implement
some sort of password protection or optional block on viewing package
contents with XCode so that apps are impossible to crack?

this post is totally just me thinking out loud.  i personally believe
that if someone is going to download a cracked version of an app then
either they wouldn't have bought a license anyway, or they don't have
the money... i'm not trying to make an app of mine more secure.  but
i'd like to hear your thoughts about this.

Re: Create UILabel to fit into text size

[Devon Ferns]

Here's how I do it for a UIButton which is centered in the view/window  
and has some padding added around the text.
You'll most likely have to set a maximum size for your label width as  
well and change the font size to suit your needs.


#import 

NSString* buttonText;

CGSize fontSize = [buttonText sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize: 
12.0]];

CGRect currentFrame = button.frame;
CGRect windowFrame = self.view.frame;
CGRect buttonFrame = CGRectMake(windowFrame.size.width/2.0 -  
(fontSize.width + 15.0)/2.0, currentFrame.origin.y, fontSize.width +  
15.0, fontSize.height + 15.0);

[button setFrame:buttonFrame];

Re: More - Safari Download Security Alerts

[Devon Ferns]

This is OT for the Cocoa list now, but you can set an EULA to be 
displayed when mounting a dmg.  I don't know how since I've never cared 
to check but many apps do it so it's possible.


You could just have the user drag the whole folder to the installation 
directory with an EULA being displayed when mounting the dmg.


Many apps come on a dmg with a background image showing the user that 
they should drag the .app or folder to /Applications to install.

Does your app *have* to be in /Applications?  If so, that means all 
the users with non-admin accounts won't be able to install the app 
(and if you require read/write to anything in that folder, they can't 
use it either-- nor can multiple users on one machine).


No, it doesn't have to be in "/Applications", but this is the

every other app is stored and it's where it has been stored up until now

Re: NSDictionary mutability test

Instead of using exceptions, wouldn't

Maybe the only solution is to set up an exception handler.

Be careful when using this method on objects represented by a class

that returns a class cluster, the exact type returned by the method is 
the best indicator of what you can do with that object. For example, 
if a method returns a pointer to an NSArray object, you should not use 
this method to see if the array is mutable, as shown in the following

// DO NOT DO THIS!
if ([myArray isKindOfClass:[NSMutableArray class]])
{
// Modify the object

It should probably not explicitly state "autoreleased" — it should

  This is just my own curiosity ... is there a specific reason Core Data

Re: Parsing xml files in Cocoa applications

NSXMLParser is also good if you don't know or don't care what the order

Nicko van Someren wrote:

It is worth noting that while the event-driven NSXMLParser class is

Unless you know that you need to keep all the information in your XML 
document for use later you can usually save quite a lot of space by 
using the event model and being careful which parts of the data you 
bother keeping.  I suspect that in the memory-constrained world of the 
iPhone this was the rationale behind forcing people to use the 
event-driven model.  You do however need to be cautious when using the 
event driven parser in a memory-constrained environment to make sure 
that you don't leave lots of objects in the auto-release pool after your 
event calls.  If you have a large document which you parse and filter 
down to some much smaller data set but on the way leave a lot of trash 
in the auto-release pool you can find the iPhone app running out of 
memory before you've finished parsing the document.  If you are unsure 
you can always push a local auto-release pool at the start of each of 
the event callbacks which do any hard work and pop them again before you 
return from the callback.

Re: corrupt coredata DB

I have a coredata application that uses sqlite3 for persistence. One of

NSManagedObject *managedObj = [[self managedObjectContext]

It never goes beyond the line above. The System halts at the save

Looks like it's trying to delete the object repeatedly in the database 
but it can't and then rolls back and tries again. By looking inside the 
sqlite database directly through sqlite3 tool I see that the tuple that 
coredata is trying to delete has Z_OPT equal to null:


sqlite> .schema ZPLAYEDTRACK
CREATE TABLE ZPLAYEDTRACK ( ZSKIP INTEGER, ZSHUFFLEMODE INTEGER, Z_OPT 
INTEGER, Z_ENT INTEGER, Z_PK INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ZEND FLOAT, ZBEGIN 
FLOAT, ZTRACKNAME VARCHAR, ZLOCATION VARCHAR, ZALBUMNAME VARCHAR, 
ZARTISTNAME VARCHAR, ZSOURCE VARCHAR, ZPLAYLISTNAME VARCHAR );


sqlite> select z_pk, z_ent, z_opt from zplayedtrack;
660|1|
661|1|
662|1|1
663|1|1

How can I delete the two tuples (660 and 661) that have Z_OPT equal to 
NULL with coredata ?

Any idea why Coredata ended with those tuples with null Z_OPT ?

Marc

too much different from generic SQL that would make it hard to learn 
especially since there are some nice wrapper classes around it already.

Well, yes ... but it's not an ODBC driver, is it?

If you choose to do this, then you're building a SQLite-specific
application, and that wasn't what the original writer was after.

Hi,
As a developer I aswell am finding it hard to evaluate these options 
myself and without prior experience. For example I would be drawn to the 
prospect of learning the same api for both the local and remote 
database. (typically id like to cache the data downloaded from the data 
onto a local sqlite DB). I did find only one ODBC driver for sqlite


http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/

Which assuming (enough of it) should work would your comments still 
hold? It is was the only Sqlite ODBC driver i could find so i am 
inevitably wondering if thats a bad sign to use ODBC actually as an 
SQLite interface. And actually how big an advantage would it be to learn 
things the first time as the ODBC way only? (rather than starting with 
the SQLite C api which is what others on this list have recommended).


And, apologies if this is heading off - topic  but

My other option up to now is to use a special cocoa library for the 
SQLite, and something rather different (MYSQL+PHP) on the server side. 
This is probably a common question: It actually simpler then to go MYSQL 
-> ODBC -> PHP rather than MYSQL -> PHP for such the benefit of doing 
"everything" in ODBC.


If i understand from your comments then using this API will conceal 
differences between MYSQL and SQLite and help me to concentrate on 
learning a simple generic SQL syntax. But bearing in mind the 
server-side code cant be written in Cocoa (objective-c) and in my own 
circumstance it will be inevitably written in PHP. Do we really end up 
with a more coherent environment (fewer languages) to work on our data 
model which likely must be transactional with the client ?

ODBC...  If you're working with any C-based tools, that is.  Perl,
Python, Ruby, PHP, etc. -- they all have ODBC libraries.

JDBC, if you're working with Java-based.

Use ODBC/JDBC and SQL standards-compliant calls -- avoid DBMS-specific
dialect -- and you should find that things go pretty well.  Changing
DBMS is in all these cases just a matter of changing the ODBC DSN or
JDBC URL -- and of course, having the relevant driver in place.

For full Cocoa ODBC support, you'll need to either build from source
or download a pre-compiled set of the iODBC Frameworks, as Apple has
chosen to only ship the dylibs. < http://sf.net/projects/iodbc>,
, or
. 



I will observe that free drivers are often worth what you pay for
them, with incomplete and/or imperfect implementations of some API
calls, but there are plenty of options out there.

(I work for one driver vendor, OpenLink Software, which also happens
to be the maintainer/supporter of the open source iODBC Project, which
is the basis of the ODBC libraries on Mac OS X.  We don't make any
money until/unless someone chooses to buy one of our drivers -- the
iODBC SDK is free in all ways, and all our drivers and other commercial
products have free download and 14-day (renewable) testing licenses,
and free up-and-running support; upgrading to permanent license only
requires a new license file. )

Re: confused about allocating and releasing objects

[Devon Ferns]

If you had access to the NSDictionary source code you'd find that the 
NSDictionary's +dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:(NSString*)fileName would 
probably look something like this:


+(NSDictionary*) dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:(NSString*)fileName
{
return [[[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile] autorelease];

}

As you can see it's not really doing anything all that special. It's 
really just saving you some typing and having to release it yourself if 
it's for a temporary variable.

There seems to be a lot of situations in Cocoa where this happens so I 
guess this is a generic question for all cases when an object is created 
via means of a static method vs using alloc:initWith... (e.g. NSArray, 
NSString, NSNumber etc. are just a few I've seen).


Whats the difference between the two methods? (I know the second one 
creates a blank dictionary first, and then loads the file - but I mean 
which one is better for what purpose? - why would I choose one over the 
other). And am I correct in assuming if I use the first method i do not 
need to release the variable when I'm done? but do need to release the 
variable in the second instance?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] SQLite Persisted Objects for Cocoa

[Devon Ferns]

Col.

One question.  What happens if you change your object's properties? Is 
the database automatically updated with the new fields?


What about pointers to other custom classes?  Would that work if those 
classes inherit from SQLitePersistentObject?


I'll definitely have to check this out later on.

Devon

Jeff LaMarche wrote:

Greetings all.

I recently created a project at Google Code that I wanted to bring to 
your attention.


http://code.google.com/p/sqlitepersistentobjects/

The goal of this project is to create Objective-C data model objects 
that automagically know how to persist themselves to a SQLite database 
based on their Objective-C 2.0 properties without any need to write SQL 
or use the SQLite3 API directly.  The version of the source code that is 
currently available on Google Code is a solid, functional beta. The only 
major feature not currently implemented is the ability to rollback an 
object to its saved state, and I'm currently working on that. If you use 
it, you should expect to encounter some bugs (it's an early beta, after 
all), but it should work for most purposes.


If you've ever used Ruby's ActiveRecord implementation, this is fairly 
similar, except that instead of being driven by the database tables, 
it's driven by the Object's properties.  This allows you to build a 
persistable data model without having to create a mapping as Core Data 
requires. You just create your classes and all the mapping to and from 
the database is done  behind the scenes thanks to the superclass.


This supports storing most common object types and scalars in data 
fields. It also supports collection classes (NSSet, NSArray, 
NSDictionary) using cross-reference tables, and stores references to 
other persisted objects as quasi-foreign-key relationships (I couldn't 
use the FK constraints in the database because they are table-specific, 
don't lend themselves to polymorphism, and aren't enforced by SQLite3 
anyway). It also supports adding indexes to the underlying tables by 
overriding a class method.


In order to create persistable objects, you simply add the files from 
this project to your Xcode project, link to sqlite3.dylib, then create 
subclasses of SQLitePersistentObject, like so:


#import 
#import "SQLitePersistentObject.h"

@interface PersistablePerson : SQLitePersistentObject {
 NSString *lastName;
 NSString *firstName;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * lastName;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * firstName;
@end

Once you've done that, you can just create your objects as usual:

PersistablePerson *person = [[PersistablePerson alloc] init];
person.firstName = @"Joe";
person.lastName = @"Smith";

Then you can save those objects to the database (the data base and table 
will be created automatically) like so:


[person save];

Loading it back in is almost as easy. All persistable object classes 
gets dynamic class methods added to them to allow you to search for 
instances. So, for example, you could retrieve all the PersistablePerson 
objects that had a last name of "Smith" like so:


NSArray *people = [PersistablePerson findByLastName:@"Smith"]

Or, we could specify the exact criteria like this:

PeristablePerson *joeSmith = [PersistablePerson 
findFirstByCriteria:@"WHERE last_name = 'Smith' AND first_name = 'Joe'];


This is licensed under a very liberal license - you can use it in any 
software, free or commercial, without limitation. You do NOT have to 
give credit and you do NOT have to publish your changes to the source 
code (although I'll certainly welcome any bug fixes or enhancements you 
wish to give back). The only restriction I've placed on this project is 
that if you choose to distribute the source code you must leave  the 
copyright and license information in the file, though you are welcome to 
add additional comments if you wish.


I welcome all comments and/or feedback.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hmmm, I'll be looking forward to the replies to this question!

My view is absolutely NOT to use try/catch for flow control. They

should be used for. They are not a substitute for proper conditional  
clauses and properly structured code. I believe the Python advice

misguided at best, though may suit that language better. Also, my  
understanding is that while a try block is very cheap, the catch

moon, that's reasonable, but if they are used routinely, performance  
is likely to suffer.

Many(probably all now) desktop CPUs are optimized for branch  
prediction which would make if blocks more efficient.  You can't  
always say the same about embedded processors though.
My guess is you probably wouldn't notice much difference on a desktop  
between the two without using some profiling to see the actual speed  
difference.  It'd likely be in the range of hundreds of milliseconds.


I think it's still a horrible way of flow control.  I think for some  
reason Python must be more optimized for that method of flow control  
but since Objective-C is based on C, it's more likely that the basic  
if/else if will be more efficient.  Message dispatch is not really  
that much overhead.


I believe @try, @catch is faster than it used to be though.

You can also get around that fairly easily by using gdb and breaking on

I'm writing my first project in Leopard and can't figure out how to 
accomplish the old
"Subclass NSObject/Generate Files/Instantiate" series of steps in 
Interface Builder 3.1.


I'm sure Interface Builder has a new way to do that but I can't find it.

Any help appreciated




You create the files from an XCode file template,
and drag the header file into IB

I agree.  It's not like what's in the SDK is super secret.  Anyone can 
download it.

Oh, they do allow it, despite what the moderators here say.  You just
have to use the appropriate Apple forum.  Apple's support forums have
a "developer" section with no shortage of iPhone discussion.  Apple
hosts it and nobody seems to mind.

See  for the forum.

It seems kind of silly that iPhone discussion is forbidden here when
Apple's apparently not concerned with hosting the discussions
elsewhere, but hey, what do I know about it.
