Xcode component installation hangs

One day, I wanted to do something with Xcode, so I opened it, and it wanted to install the Mobile Device Connectivity Framework. I don't actually have a mobile device, and I never do any iOS programming, but it requres this somehow. I select Install, but nothing happens other than a barber pole status bar under "Installing Files." Ever. No activity whatsoever. I did not attach gdb to Xcode to try to find out hat was going on, although you probably didin't need to know that.  What is going on, why is it going on, and how can I make it not go on?

Need Help With Apple Script

I am trying to make an apple script that will detect when an application (minecraft) is open and then bring up a dialog that wont go away so that only I.T. can remove it.

 

It's a school project that im working on, we have to figure out a way (through applescript) to help students be more productive, everyone else has no experience with apple script but me. I managed to create this in a couple of minutes but there is a couple glitches and problems i cant solve.

 

here's the script:

 

repeat

     if appIsRunning("Minecraft") then

          display dialog "Gaming is not allowed, Your log of your computer programs running has been emailed to the I.T. department. Please visit the I.T. department immedietly to remove this message" buttons {"Report To I.T."} default button 1 with title "Gaming Alert" with icon stop

     end if

     tell application "Minecraft"

  quit

     end tell

end repeat

on appIsRunning(appName)

     tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName

end appIsRunning

end

 

it works ok...

exept for the fact it works on every application exept minecraft...

Minecraft just freezes and then the script just says error.

 

Im also trying to design a way that applescript will send an email to the school I.T. desk with the students user name. I have this so far...

 

tell application "Mail"

     set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Gaming Alert [username here]"

  , content:"[username here] has been gaming, he is to report to I.T. by the end of the day", visible:true}

     tell theNewMessage

  make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"itdesk@blahblahblah.net"}

  send

     end tell

end tell

 

exept the school uses office 365 mail not inbuilt mail, is there any way to make this work?

 

My key issues are

 

1. how to fix the bug

2. how can i combne the scripts?

3.will this work for other games?

4.Can this work with online email bases

5.any other genreral comments on the scripts.

Javascript to tigger mp3 on rollover not working on iPhone

on a site I just built http://***.buko.net I'm using javascript to trigger an mp3 sound on a rollover. it works fine on a regular computer in a browser.  but on the iPhone there is no sound. using both Safari and Chrome.

 

You can see the rollover works the key looks as if its depressed. One tap seems to trigger the rollover second tap is the click that takes you to the link. the links are on the bottom left.

I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

Dev Bug Reports to Apple

As always, for betas or releases, registered devs should feel free to use Report a Bug for any fixes, samples, doc additions, feature requests or enhancements you'd like to see as well. Provide detailed information for the issue, including the system and developer tools version information, and any relevant crash logs or console messages. Be prepared to submit a sample project that demonstrates the issue(s).

 

• Each top level issue deserves a unique report.

• Posting in the Developer Forums is not reporting. Apple does not read those comments nor harvest information from them, so file bugs if you want to be heard. Add your report # to your thread for reference, thanks.

 

General notes about bugs:

• Devs should not typically expect followup unless (a) the engineer working on the issue needs more information and reaches out or (b) the/your issue has been fixed and the bug is sent back to you to please verify.

• Don't worry about category too much as the reports are checked when received and routed to the proper Engineering section involved.

• Know that devs can only see their own bugs.

• For additional info, see Bug Reporting Best Practices.

• Duplicates - Understand that Apple uses 'amount of duplication' in bug reports as a way to gauge the 'severity' of an issue.

• Also note that during betas, bug reporter can be dealing with heavy loads, so be patient.

 

Bug Reporter Connection Issues:

• For problems connecting to the Apple Bug Reporter, let Apple know by submitting your issue via the: Connection Problems Form.

 

 

To report security issues w/Apple products: https://ssl.apple.com/support/security/

coding help

For one of the tutorials it asks me to compare the two files words and propernames. I have to list out the matching words from both files.

 

#import

 

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])

{

 

    @autoreleasepool {

        //Read in a file as a huge string (ignoring the possibility of an error)

        NSString *nameString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:@"/usr/share/dict/propernames"

                                                         encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding

                                                            error:NULL];

        NSString *wordString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:@"/usr/share/dict/words"

                                                         encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding

                                                            error:NULL];

        //Break it into an array of strings

        NSArray *names = [nameString componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];

        NSArray *words = [wordString componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];

       

        //Go through the array one string at a time

        for(NSString *n in names){

            for(NSString *w in words){

               if ([n caseInsensitiveCompare:w] == NSOrderedSame) {

                }

}

 

This is how I approach it however it didn't work as I planned it. Anyone can help with this?

iphone 4 disabled

my iPhone 4 verizon 16GB that I bought from someone, is Disabled saying to connect to iTunes. Im trying to restore it but I can't. I had tried different ways to restore it. I tried the power/wake button with connector and still nothing. When trying to put in DFU mode the iTunes logo disappears and a line goes right through it. Does anyone knows how to restore the iPhone with these issues?

Code sign...revoking certificate... problem

Hi,

 

I am having a breake down. I had the folowing problem:

 

Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid, non-expired certificate/private key pair in your keychains

 

 

 

So i folowd the steps to solve this problem:

1) Open up Keychain Access app within /Applications/Utilities and click "All Items" under the Category sidebar. Type "iPhone" into the top-right search bar.

If you are replacing your Developer Certificate, delete your "iPhone Developer: " Certificate by right-clicking and choosing "Delete"; if you have multiple "iPhone Developer: " certificates, delete them all.

If you are replacing your Distribution Certificate, delete your "iPhone Distribution: " Certificate by right-clicking and choosing "Delete"; if you have multiple "iPhone Distribution: " certificates, delete them all.

2) Clean out your profile library according to the steps in section: Keep Your Profile Library Clean.

3) Log into the iOS Provisioning Portal. Click the Certificates sidebar. Click the DEVELOPMENT tab if you are replacing your Developer Certificate, and pick the the DISTRIBUTION tab if you are replacing your Distribution Certificate. Click Revoke in the Action column.

4) Perform the steps in section Provisioning Profile Refresh. Xcode will prompt to create the new certificates; choose "Submit Request" to allow Xcode to create the certificates.

 

After step 4:

I folowd this steps:

"To invoke Provisioning Profile Refresh, open Xcode's "Window" menu > Organizer > Devices tab > "Provisioning Profile" sidebar under Library and click the Refresh button. The first time refresh is pressed, a prompt appears requesting your team member credentials. It is important to answer positively when asked to create your signing certificates if they are needed. To do that, click "Submit Request" when you are prompted and Xcode will create, download and install the certificate(s)."

 

I had no button "Refresh" so i clickt "add device to Profsioning Portal" and get a device with this muber already exists. When i login to Portal, i dont see my developer Certificate>Development anymore. Before revoke i downloaded the certificate!!!.

 

How do i get it back? How do i solve this problem?

Re: Need Help With Apple Script

  1. You didn't provide any information about the error, so I can't verify it since I don't have MineCraft to test.  I can't see any reason off hand why the application would hang, although your script will wait until the dialog is dismissed before continuing with the rest of the script.
  2. As hinted to above, you will need to quit the applications and send the email before putting up the dialog, since the script/application will wait while the dialog is up.
  3. Just add other application names to check for.
  4. To use other email clients you will need to use whatever scripting commands or other API they provide.

 

The following script application should combine your previous examples and allow for multiple applications - save it as a stay-open application.  You should also add a LSUIElement key set to true in the application Info.plist so that it doesn't show a menu or appear in the Dock.

 

 

property illegalApps : {"MineCraft"} -- add application names as needed

property longName : missing value

property shortName : missing value

 

on run -- setup

  tell (get system info)

    set longName to long user name -- for use in the email message

    set shortName to short user name -- for use in the shell script

  end tell

end run

 

on idle -- repeatedly executes after the run handler completes

  tell application "System Events" to set appList to get name of processes whose background only is false

  set editedList to {}

  repeat with anApp in appList -- filter for illegal apps

    set anApp to contents of anApp

    if anApp is in illegalApps then set end of editedList to anApp

  end repeat

  if editedList is not {} then notifyAndQuit(editedList) -- illegals found

  return 60 -- do it again in 60 seconds

end idle

 

on notifyAndQuit(quitList)

  tell application "Mail" -- send mail

    set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Gaming Alert [" & longName & "]", content:"[" & longName & "] has been gaming, he is to report to I.T. by the end of the day", visible:true}

    tell theNewMessage

      make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"itdesk@blahblahblah.net"}

      send

    end tell

  end tell

 

  repeat with anApp in quitList -- kill user processes with extreme prejudice

    do shell script "killall -9 -u " & shortName & " -c " & quoted form of anApp

  end repeat

 

  activate me

  display dialog "Gaming is not allowed, Your log of your computer programs running has been emailed to the I.T. department. Please visit the I.T. department immedietly to remove this message" buttons {"Report To I.T."} default button 1 with title "Gaming Alert" with icon stop

About beta ios versions support for old ipod touches.

Generally speaking, like 2 to 3 versions of iPhones are supported by new iOS versions, how many generation iPod touches are supported by new iOSes. I am asking this because i newly enrolled for the $99 developer program and Apple says its better to install betaiOS on a test device. So I was planning to buy a current generation ipod touch. However, I dont wanna be buying new iPod touches each year.

Hello,

 

Trying to sign up for an Apple Developer Account with my existing apple id.

Next I get redirected back to the terms and conditions page with no error or alert message. I tick the box again and click on  ACCEPT and it redirects back again.

 

I have now tried this on 3 different browsers but cannot get past this terms and conditions page.

 

Any ideas?

Will AirDrop on iOS 7 communicate with MacBook Pro?

I was just curious if the AirDrop between my Iphone 5 running iOS 7 beta can file share with my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. Is this possibe, even though the cloud sync between the two works very well and there is little need? is this something that requires OS X Mavericks? Or is there a setting on either device that im missing and the reason they are not seeing each other?

Just getting familiar with the new iOS and wanting to check out the features.

Re: About beta ios versions support for old ipod touches.

You need at least one test device to install betas on.

You need at least one development device running the current version iOS to build and test for deployment.

 

Never, ever install a beta on the only device you have as there is always the chance that it could be bricked.

Never, ever try to downgrade from a beta to the previous non-beta version of iOS.  This procedure is not supported nor recommended by Apple.

 

Development isn't cheap.

You may have to buy some new devices each year.

 

That's part of the cost of development.

Re: Where should I start?


Hi!  I'm a software developer and author. 



First off, I'd need to know what platform(s) you want to target whe writing code (you seem to want to write Apple software, but for which OS:  iOS or OS X)? 



When you say "my knowledge of code is very basic," what code do you slightly know?



If you are intrested in writing native iOS or OS X apps and submitting them via their respective app stores, then I suggest you consider learning Objective-C.  However, Objective-C is a tricky language for beginers as it is a subset of the C language.  For a beginner, I would first advise you learn a simpler programming language: JavaScript.  C, Java, C++, Objective-C, etc. are what I feel more difficult languages to grasp. However, a third party, PhoneGap offers develoeprs without knowledge in Objective-C to program native iOS apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. 



If you don't know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript already, then I hope to point you in the right direction with the following books:  HTML & CSS (after reading this book to hone my skills with HTML5, I honestly thought it was fantastic).  JavaScript: The Missing Manual is an excellent beginer's book on JS (although I would suggest that you read HTML & CSS first).  If you want to learn Objective-C, then this is an excellent beginer's book as well. Although it is aimed at a beginer, I do want you to recognize that Objective-C is still going to be a more difficult language than JavaScript. 



Also, search Google for anwswers to tricky problems which you may encounter.  Watch videos on YouTube.



Let me know what you think and if you need any further assistance.  I'm more than happy to help.   Happy WWDC week!

Developing Java in Xcode

In a better world, no one would have to use Java anymore. Sadly there are still university programs where people are expected to use Java. Rather than cast people into the world of Eclipse, here are instructions on how to get Xcode building Java. These instructions are current as of Xcode 4.6.2. You will need to download a JDK from somewhere.

 

This is a basic environment meant only for writing simple school programs. It has no debugger. Replace with whatever you want to name your project. Your main project file, main project class, and Xcode project must use this name. Welcome to Java.

 

1) In Xcode, File > New > New Project > Other > External Build System

2) Give it a meaningful name and save it somewhere. Note the name. You'll need that later.

3) File > New > New File > Other > Empty

4) Give it a Java-friendly name. In my example, use .java

5) Copy the contents below into the file and save.

6) File > New > New File > Other > Empty

7) Save as Makefile.

8) Copy the contents below into the file and save.

9) The "Run" (>) button should at least compile your Java now.

 

Now it gets tricky. You don't have to do the next part. You could just open a Terminal to your project directory and run java if you want. I strongly suggest that. You can also just type "make" and use Xcode purely as a text editor.

9) Project > Scheme > Edit Scheme > Debug > Info tab

10) Executable > Other > type ^?g > type /usr/bin > choose java

11) Change Debugger to None

12) Arguments tab

13) For Arguments Passed on Launch, add $(TARGETNAME)

14) For Environment Variables, add CLASSPATH with a value of $(PROJECT_DIR)

15) For Expand Variables based on, use

PS: I have no idea how to run the Java debugger in Xcode. But then, I have no idea how to run the Java debugger at all.

 

Here are some starter file contents:

HelloWorld.java:

public class HelloWorld

  {

  public static void main(String[] args)

    {

    System.out.println("Hello, World!");

    }

  }

 

Makefile:

# A simple makefile for a Hello World Java program

 

# Define a makefile variable for the java compiler

JCC = javac

 

# Define a makefile variable for compilation flags

# The -g flag compiles with debugging information

JFLAGS = -g

 

# typing 'make' will invoke the first target entry in the makefile

# (the default one in this case)

default: $(subst .java,.class,$(wildcard *.java))

 

# this target entry builds the Average class

# the Average.class file is dependent on the Average.java file

# and the rule associated with this entry gives the command to create it

#

%.class : %.java

          $(JCC) $(JFLAGS) $<

 

# To start over from scratch, type 'make clean'.

# Removes all .class files, so that the next make rebuilds them

#

clean:

          $(RM) *.class

 

 

NOTE: Those indentations are true tab characters. Ugh!

 

Good luck on your class. Hopefully you can progress onto more complicated projects and eventually use a real language like Objective-C.

Benefits when becoming a new app developer

Hi,

 

I have a few questions about the development program from Apple. If I become a registered developer...

 

1- Will I be able to install my app in my iPhone directly from my computer/XCode without having to upload it to the app store?

2- What happens to applications added to the app store after canceling your membership?

 

Thanks a lot.

Why is pokerstars allowed to ask for credit card inside the app ?

I'm pretty sure that such thing is banned from the Apple Store.

It is possible to buy credits for PokerStars inside their Apple APP without using the AppStore.

 

Apps cannot have their own built-in way to charge people for their services.

Apps should only use AppStore to sell stuff with their apps.

 

Am I wrong ?

I sense something wrong here.

 

Looks like they are avoiding the 30% fee that should go to Apple.

Converting nsdates to NSStrings and vice-versa

hi, as part of an app I'm writing(my first) I need to constantly convert NSDates to NSStrings and vice-versa. So I thought I would write the 2 functions but include them as methods with the main controller and call them with something like

 

[self convertToDate:stringToConvert]

 

However , I'm experiencing problems and getting warnings all over the place - may be because I'm calling them from within 'proper' methods in the class. The functions themselves are pretty straight forward and I've copied them from forums like this one

 

I realise this is probably not best practice , but how else would I do it? Would I create a separate .h and .m files.

 

Any thoughts would be gratefully received.  I have posted threads about mixing normal functions and methods on this forum and I am grateful for all your feedback , and this relates to this matter , but I'm starting to wonder if my approach is wrong?

Hotnews RSS feed corruption

I found a recent corruption in the urls provided by the apple hotnews rss feed, or at least what appears to be corruption. Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

The link I am using is:

http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss

 

Pastebin of rss contents (since it will likely change)

http://pastebin.com/yiY73HA4

 

The error appears in the format:

 

$true_link$ ?sr=hotnews.rss

 

The expected value should be:

$true_link$?sr=hotnews.rss


 

it appears to simply be a referral parameter, and as such one can simply tokenize the input and take the first token, but it is a bit of a bummer to have to clean (some of) the data manually.
