Hi All,

I am newbie in iPhone development and i am doing in house development.
Is there any way to get the SDk and run the developed app on actual iPhone device or its cumpolsary to get the licence.
Is there any hack

regards..

Hi Guys,

I am developing iphone app that has information to launch mail, call and sms.. so i think im going to use all of this link,
email - "mailto:"
call - "tel:"
sms - "sms:"

So all of this link will redirect to navitve app in iphone, the problem I have is how am I going to track down all of this 3 communication (email, call and sms) in my app ?? and save all data from my database for history/reports purposes?

Do you have any idea how this kind of functionality in iphone SDK??

I really need your help .. Thanks in advance..

At its annual MAX developer conference, Adobe released the latest updates to its desktop application framework, AIR, and also updated the open-source Flex SDK and the Eclipse-based FlexBuilder IDE.

Google recently updated their Google Mobile App with a couple new features. Voice Search automatically starts listening when you raise the phone to your ear. Just say what you’re looking for, and it will poll Google and return the results. The app leverages Google’s voice recognition engine, which they’ve been training with Goog-411. [Andy Baio] has been experimenting with audio transcription and was curious what the new app was doing behind the scenes. He started by sniffing the packets as they traversed his network. Unfortunately, the size of the data packets transmitted is so small that he’s almost certain he’s missing something. He’d appreciate any help in this endeavor. Part of the problem might be Google getting special treatment and using undocumented iPhone SDK features.

      

From Wired: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/1...-flash-on.html

Don't hold your breath waiting for the iPhone to support Adobe's Flash software: Apple's terms-of-service agreement prohibits it.

Although Adobe says it is working on a version of its popular Flash player for the iPhone, Apple is unlikely ever to permit it to appear in the handset's App Store, no matter how much customers want it.

"I'm pretty skeptical that Flash could be implemented in a way that doesn't violate the Terms of Service of the developer's agreement," said Bart Decrem, CEO of Tapulous, developer of the popular Tap Tap Revenge iPhone game.

Flash is Adobe's highly popular platform for displaying interactive graphics, animations and multimedia within a browser. According to Adobe, 98 percent of desktop computers currently support Flash, which has led to its widespread use by web developers. Adobe's recent announcement that it is working on a version of Flash for Windows Mobile has prompted speculation that an iPhone version might be coming soon. But the speculators may be waiting in vain, based on Apple's TOS and the company's history of tightly controlling applications for its smartphone platform.

Allowing Flash — which is a development platform of its own — would just be too dangerous for Apple, a company that enjoys exerting total dominance over its hardware and the software that runs on it. Flash has evolved from being a mere animation player into a multimedia platform capable of running applications of its own. That means Flash would open a new door for application developers to get their software onto the iPhone: Just code them in Flash and put them on a web page. In so doing, Flash would divert business from the App Store, as well as enable publishers to distribute music, videos and movies that could compete with the iTunes Store.

Apple's well aware of these problems, which is why the company wrote a clause in its iPhone developers' Terms of Service agreement (.pdf) that prohibits Flash from appearing on the iPhone:

"An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise," reads clause 3.3.2 of the iPhone SDK agreement, which was recently published on WikiLeaks. "No interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s)."

This could come as major disappointment to iPhone owners, as the lack of Flash support has been a paramount complaint about the handset since its release. No Flash means that the iPhone browser is incapable of displaying a large portion of the internet. For example, free Flash games aren't supported, videos can't be streamed from the vastly popular television and movie site Hulu, and websites that use Flash to render content or navigation won't work on the iPhone.

It's no wonder Adobe is expressing reluctance about the prospects of Flash for iPhone. The company on Monday demonstrated a version of Flash for Windows Mobile handsets. And all that product manager Michele Turner could say about iPhone was, "We are working on Flash on the iPhone, but it is really up to Apple."

Adam Dann, CEO of Nullriver, agrees that Flash would take away some of Apple's control. Apple eventually banned Nullriver's application NetShare because it violated AT&T Terms of Service agreement by turning the iPhone into a wireless modem for tethering. If Apple introduced Flash to iPhone, it's possible Nullriver could code a Flash version of NetShare, repeating that violation, Dann said.

Dann added that the only way Flash could ever appear on the iPhone is if Adobe offered an extremely stripped-down version of the software. But even if there is a "Flash Lite" for iPhone, that just reinforces the point that the handset's owners still will not have a true Flash experience.

And aside from taking software control away from Apple, Flash would introduce a slew of other potential headaches as well. Flash apps could hurt battery life, suck up the graphics-processing unit's power, use an inordinate amount of memory, or potentially introduce security risks. Apple has plenty of customer complaints to address about the iPhone; the last thing it needs is to add Adobe and Flash to the pile.

In August, Britain's Advertising Standards Authority pulled an iPhone advertisement because the commercial said, "All the parts of the internet are on the iPhone." The lack of Flash and Java support on iPhone were enough for the ad to be deemed misleading. And it's looking like Apple won't be able to air that ad again.

Apple did not return phone calls for comment.

VoodooPad Lite 4.0VoodooPad Lite is the stripped-down free version of VoodooPad. VoodooPad is a new kind of notepad. It's like having your own digital junk drawer, where you can jot down notes, web addresses, to-do lists... Anything on your mind. VoodooPad automatically links each page together, to form a miniature world wide web just for you! Anybody familiar with WikiWikiWeb will feel right at home with VoodooPad.

Type in your notes, and highlight important words or phrases to create new pages; or drag and drop folders, applications, or URLs into VoodooPad - they're linked up whenever the word representing it is found.
WHAT'S NEWVersion 4.0:

Big New Features:

• New toolbar icons! In fact, a pretty updated look overall.
• New palette windows, modeled after Acorn's single palette which was a pretty big hit. However, unlike Acorn's palette you can have multiple instances of these unified palettes. In fact, using the new plugin api, you can create your own palettes in Objective-C or Python. Check out the sample "Flyblog" included in the plugin SDK download.
• Page syncing via WebDAV! This is a biggie. You can now sync the pages of a VoodooPad document between two computers using a WebDAV server such as MobileMe's. If you want to setup your own WebDAV server as well, that will also work. Since syncing can be a little complicated, we've got some instructions on the wiki for setting it up: http://flyingmeat.com/wikka/VoodooPadWebDAVSyncingSetup
• When syncing with a WebDAV server you can also have VoodooPad publish an up to date website for viewing on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
• "The Bucket", which is a floating window accessible from any application via a hotkey, to add text to a VoodooPad Page.
• "Print Document" under the file menu, which you can also use to make a PDF document containing all the pages in your document.
• You can now write plugins in Python, just like you could with Lua.
• More with the speedy. VoodooPad's wiki markup engine has gone through some major changes so it is faster and uses less memory.
• A new "Type" palette to replace the text styles palette. It's pretty handy, and the source is even included in the plugin examples for you programmer types.

Smaller New Features:

• New preference to keep the current line indentation when pressing return.
• Images now scale down when they are too big to fit in a page.
• New python plugin, "Select Next <# #> Placeholder", thanks to Michael McCracken! This is pretty handy when used with the NewPageTemplate ( http://flyingmeat.com/wikka/VoodooPadPageTemplate ).
• New pref to turn off colorization of links.
• New menu item "Gather Palettes" under the Window menu, to tidy up the palette windows.
• Now supports inline displaying of Acorn images. You can even double click on them to edit them (preserving layers) in Acorn.
• Embedded images are now editable in Acorn.
• New toolbar item to toggle wether links are shown or not.
• New pref to not resize the window when entering full screen.
• Python script plugins can now be put in the Plugins directory, as well as the Script Plugins directory.
• Dock menu to open up recent documents.
• In app bug reporting window.
• Holding down the option key when choosing using "Run Page as Script" inserts the output from the script into the current text area.
• iPhone web export template- optimized web export for your iPhone and iPod Touch.
• "Triggers" have been renamed to "Events", since that makes a bit more sense.
• You can now write Events (formerly "Triggers") in Python.
• Plugin API to add your pet scripting language to Events system.

Other minor things:

• Fixed a bug in the audio recorder, where it would not properly remove old recordings from the file system before importing new ones.
• Fix: You can no longer use "Link selection to item‚ä¶" when the current page is set to not show links.
• Chg: Holding down the option key when choosing pages from the toolbar will open up the pages list in the drawer.
• Fix: You can no longer assign custom url links to an image. This caused all images to try and link up, which wasn't usually the desired behavior.
• Chg: You can now have "rich" links on images.
• Fix: VoodooPad is a bit more friendly towards Swedish characters, when dropped in for file aliases from the Finder.
• Fix: Page backgrounds are now saved for encrypted pages.
• Change: The services function now prefers rich text over plain text.
• New: Categories/Tags are now included in the search index.
• Fix: You can no longer open up files that are located in the trash.
• Fix: Fixed a bug where certain cjk characters would not link.
• Change: Removed the "default font" pref, now just using whatever is in the "new page text" preference. For plain text pages, the first font in the "new page text" preference is used.
• Fix: Fixed a bug with the automator web export action, where you could not set "rtfd to html" as a conversion format.
• Fix: Fixed a bug where links to aliases were not marked up correctly in webexport, when using markdown or textile.
• Change: Registration panel has now been moved to the preferences window.

VoodooPad 4.0

VoodooPad is a garden for your thoughts. Plant ideas, images, lists and anything else you need to keep track of. VoodooPad grows with you, without getting in the way Ñ no fences to box you in! Type in notes, highlight important words or phrases and create new pages. Drag and drop folders, images, applications, or URLs into VoodooPad Ñ they're linked up just like on the web. With powerful search, nothing will be lost or out of reach. The more you put into it, the better it gets.

VoodooPad Pro is a super charged version of VoodooPad, priced a bit more for people who need specialized features.

So What's Pro Got to Offer?

Document Encryption - VoodooPad Pro has the ability to encrypt every single bit in your document. Go ahead and write out your plans for world domination, knowing they can only be opened with the correct password. Import sensitive PDFs, images, or other files as well.

Triggers - Triggers are a way to script VoodooPad when certain events occur such as a new page being created or deleted, documents opening or closing, files being written on web export and more. To make a trigger you write a simple script in a VoodooPad page, and then assign that page as a trigger event. When the event occurs your script is run. Check out some examples in the documentation.

Item Meta - Assign meta data to an individual page which can be used for whatever you'd like. Works great with script plugins or triggers.

Web Sharing - VoodooPad Pro has a built in webserver to share your pages with friends or co-workers on your local network without any pain. Bonjour support is included so you don't have to hand around cryptic urls.

We are happy to report that the maemo SDK+ Beta-2.5 is released. Click yourself to http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org to learn more how to develop maemo applications without Scratchbox-1.

Maemo SDK+ is an alternative (and currently unofficial) way to develop software for Nokia Internet Tablets.

This release has lots of bug fixes and much better support for X86 architecture than the previous release. We also introduced  new command line tool called “maemo-sdk” that acts as a wrapper to the multitude of services the SDK+ offers. We now recommend using this new maemo-sdk command line tool for all SDK+ related maintenance work (like installing rootstraps, tools, compilers, starting the Hildon UI etc) instead of using the separate maemo scripts and tools. This tools frees the developer from doing many mundane daily tasks manually. It also takes care of the many configuration and initialization steps that previously you had to do manually.

After releasing the previous beta we were contacted by many  people who requested wider distro support than just Ubuntu Hardy so this release is available for the following distros:

- Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10

- Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04

- Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10

- Debian Lenny

- Debian Etch / i386.

The new versions of core packages are: maemo-sdk 0.9.98.5 core package, Scratchbox2 version 1.99.0.27-lta51, Q-Emu 0.9.1-4 (SB2 version with patches), Libtool 1.5.26, sbrsh 7.6, and Anjuta IDE plugin 0.4.2.

For those who are currently using beta-2 we recommend to upgrade to beta-2.5 version.

Happy Hacking !

-the maemo SDK+ team

Novell and Microsoft put their interests ahead of the free software community that makes the software everyone else uses," says Roy Schestowitz, a freelance writer and co-editor of the Boycott Novell site. The arrangement, he adds, "legitimized Microsoft's doubtful and undisclosed patent claims." Schestowitz says the Microsoft-Novell deal may have led to a chain of at least seven more patent deals covering Linux and accompanying parts, which he believes also harm Linux's self-interests./pp class="ArticleBody" page="1"Today, Microsoft and Novell executives talk as if there never was a controversy. But there was, and many believe Novell made too big a concession to Microsoft regarding intellectual property issues and Linux. (Under the deal, the two companies agreed not to sue each other over intellectual property issues.)/pp class="ArticleBody" page="1"Several months after the agreement, Microsoft claimed that open source software such as Linux a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/05/14/microsoft-demands-royalties_1.html" class="regularArticleU"violated 235 of its patents/a. But the company has not publicly detailed what those alleged violations are. Under the agreement, Novell was released for any patent liability, so those claims don't directly affect it./pp class="ArticleBody" page="1"Other elements of the agreement covered bilateral virtualization between Windows Server and Suse Linux, directory interoperability, systems management, and a translator between Microsoft's a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/03/14/Microsoft-OOXML-SDK-renews-standards-debate_1.html" class="regularArticleU"Open Office XML and the Novell-backed Open Document Format/a file formats./pp class="ArticleBody" page="1"bDoes the deal harm Linux and open source efforts?br/ /bBut critics like Schestowitz argue that the Microsoft-Novell deal, coupled with Microsoft's continued patent-infringement claims against Linux, is simply one more step to marginalize Linux or make it a mere guest in Windows-dominated datacenters. "If Novell and Microsoft get their way, then metaphorically speaking, Linux will increasingly be pressured into a corner of the datacenter, essentially being marketed as a guest machine [running under Windows] as opposed to a host running with or without Windows virtualized," he says./pp class="ArticleBody" page="1"Schestowitz also claims the Microsoft-Novell deal "creates revenue streams at the expense of those who build, maintain, support, and distribute free software. This not only deters developers but also makes free software a less-appealing choice based on cost. It impedes adoption of Microsoft's No. 1 competitor." In the deal, Novell agreed to pay royalties to Microsoft based on Novell's open source sales, which Schestowitz says essentially penalizes the open source contributors./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"But Novell has claimed that a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/06/05/teched-msnovell_1.html" class="regularArticleU"it actually gets more money from Microsoft/a when all is said and done, thanks to Microsoft's agreement to purchase $240 million worth of Suse Linux support certificates from Novell for customers that have both Windows and Linux in their environments. And in August, Microsoft agreed to a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/08/19/Microsoft-Novell-expand-interop-pact_1.html" class="regularArticleU"purchase as much as $100 million more in Linux support certificates/a. That money aids Novell's Linux efforts, company officials say. (Neither Microsoft nor Novell responded directly to Schestowitz's criticisms, instead simply calling them "differences of opinion.")/pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"At the core of Schestowitz's complaint is his belief that a dominant provider of proprietary software is trying to worm its way into the open source world, with designs to hijack open source competition. "The deal enabled Microsoft to 'sell' the impression that it intended to do well with the free software community and thereby enter Linux and [free and open source software] conferences as early as the deal was signed, sheltered by Novell's presence or implicit invitation," he says. "If Microsoft wanted to cooperate with the free software community, it would start by liberating its own code and adopting patent- and royalty-free formats," he adds./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"bWhat the deal does for Novell's Suse Linuxbr/ /bWhatever the implications for the greater Linux and open source worlds, Novell says the Microsoft deal has been good for its Suse Linux and for IT shops that use both Suse and Windows. Customers wanted a "bridge between Microsoft Windows and Linux," says Microsoft's Hauser. Customers also wanted peace of mind over potential intellectual property disputes, since those can take products off the market or result in additional licensing fees. About 100 customers are covered by the Novell-Microsoft agreement, she notes./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2""Over the last two years, we've actually expanded our technical collaboration quite a bit in areas of accessibility and [with] the a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/05/15/moonlight-release-puts-Silverlight-on-Linux_1.html" class="regularArticleU"Moonlight-Silverlight project/a and collaboration on Linux management," says Susan Heystee, general manager for global strategic alliances at Novell. "We've had great customer feedback."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"One customer praised the fruits of the deal: "The Microsoft-Novell agreement is a great catalyst to helping us reduce the complexity of our Linux environment as we standardize our Linux infrastructure with Suse Linux Enterprise and continue to extend the use of Microsoft Active Directory," says Matthew O'Neill, group head of distributed systems for HSBC Global IT Operations, in a statement featured on a a href="http://www.moreinterop.com/" target="_blank" class="regularArticleU"Microsoft-Novell Web site/a promoting their collaboration. "Our decision to simplify our mixed-source environment with Microsoft and Novell will allow us to reduce the cost and complexity. That's why we have selected Novell as our preferred Linux partner to support our Linux infrastructure going forward," O'Neill says./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"But Boycott Novell's Schestowitz argues that the fruits of the agreement are not so benevolent and that customers have voted with their feet and avoided Novell. "Novell lost the community's trust, and their market share arguably fell relative to competitors that did not make a similar deal," he says./p/divbr style=clear: both;/ img alt= style=border: 0; height:1px; width:1px; border=0 src=http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=4721f5d6efb7366e931e06653b6de311 height=1 width=1/ img src=http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=4721f5d6efb7366e931e06653b6de311 style=display: none; border=0 height=1 width=1 alt=/

When I use stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString, xcode always complains that NSString may not respond to "-stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:::". But the method substringWithRange has no problem.

Some other method, e.g. performSelectorOnMainThread, xcode also complains that NSObject may not respond to it.

It seems that all above methods are declared under
#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 <= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED

Is something wrong in the configuration? I use iphone SDK 2.1 default configuration.

Does anyone have such issue?

Adobe Systems and ARM today announced a technology collaboration to optimize and enable Adobe® Flash® Player 10 and Adobe AIR™ for ARM Powered® devices, ranging from mobile phones to set-top boxes, mobile Internet devices, televisions, automotive platforms, personal media players and other mobile computing devices. The collaboration is expected to accelerate mobile graphics and video capabilities on ARM platforms to bring rich Internet applications and Web services to mobile devices and consumer electronics worldwide.

The joint technology optimization is targeted for the ARMv6 and ARMv7architectures used in the ARM11™ family and the Cortex™-A series of processors and is expected to be available in the second half of 2009. The partnership stems from the Open Screen Project, a broad Adobe sponsored initiative of industry leaders - including ARM - to deliver a consistent runtime environment across multiple devices by taking advantage of Adobe Flash Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR. The initiative is set to address the challenges of Web browsing on a broad range of screens, and remove the barriers to publish content and applications seamlessly across screens. For more information, visit www.openscreenproject.org.

How this will translate to Flash on the iPhone is yet unknown. Adobe's Anup Muraka said, that devices with at least 200 MHz processors, more than around 16 Mbytes of RAM and a "completely capable [Web] browser" will be able to render Web-based Flash content. The iPhone has at least a 500 MHz processor and much more than 16 MB of RAM so Steve Jobs statement that "Flash performs too slow to be useful" no longer seems valid. In the end its up to Apple to decide since a fully integrated version of Flash would violate the iPhone SDK terms.
