Hurry up and release SDK for 3rd party apps

I love my ipod touch as I carry music podcasts and DVD videos.
However it would be great to have more tools available, so it acts like a PDA.

Can't rush perfection
Yeah but really I would like an update that adds some apps (COUGHIPHONEAPPSCOUGH) wow I have a bad cold

    Mike,
    If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
    Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
    Quit LPX
    Open Finder
    Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
    Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
    Now Restart your Mac.....
    and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
    Fingers crossed...

  • Structured approach to debugging performance bottlenecks for 3rd Party apps

    Hi All,
    I am facing a situation which I believe most App Support personnel and DBAs in IT organizations do, but I havent found a structured approach to solve the problem. I am hoping this thread can help filter and pull together the varied chunks of information out there in one place.
    Here is the situation. I am avoiding making it too specific, as the idea is to identify a good approach that is repeatable in other scenarios.
    We are in the process of implementing a solution using a third party application (SAP's BPC), which is sitting on an Oracle database. The application implementation team has some control on to use the application to design the solution, but no direct access to the underlying queries that the app generates. We are starting to find that as the underlying database usage size is increasing (from a couple of million to tens of mllions of records), the performance of certain operations is becoming very unpredictable. Sometimes an operation would go through, relatively fast while at other times it would get stuck for over an hour and then time-out.
    In such situations it is a classic battle between the Oracle DBAs and the App implementation team to try and push the ball in each other's court to try and identify and "fix" the problem.
    What in your opinion would be a structured approach between the two teams to help solve the problem? For each step of the approach, please also try and see if you can point to links which further dive into specifics of executing that step.
    For example, one approach might be to ...
    1. DBA team to find a way to identify specific Querios/DBOperations that are taking too long. (add references here)
    2. App team to collaborate with the App manufacturer's support organization to see what design changes or parameters could alter the nature of queries being generated or affect the size of the underlying tables. (too specific for each 3rd party app)
    3. After exhausing (2), DBA team to analyze the remaining culprit queries and find ways to obtain better performance without changing the query or the size of the database tables via indexes/DB parameters/etc.. (add references here)
    4. After exhausing (3), DBA/Unix admin team to identify which specific hardware bottlenecks are being faced (CPUs/storage/memory) to see if hardware changes can help obtain better performance.
    Thoughts?

    In general your approach is correct.
    However I'd put priorities different way.
    1. DBA team to find a way to identify specific Querios/DBOperations that are taking too long. (add references here)
    2. DBA team to analyze the culprit queries and find ways to obtain better performance without changing the query or the size of the database tables via indexes/DB parameters/etc.. (add references here)
    With collaboration with the App manufacturer's support if required.
    Indexes are transparent to application logic. They do not affect results data. Only performance.
    Note that indexes should be regular b-tree indexes, not unique or bitmap.
    Edited by: user11181920 on Nov 7, 2012 3:20 PM
    Changes of queries can be allowed here, with using Oracle query substitution techniques (Plan Stability, Plan Management...).
    3. After exhausing (2), DBA/Unix admin team to identify which specific hardware bottlenecks are being faced (CPUs/storage/memory) to see if hardware changes can help obtain better performance.
    Not only because today to beef up HW is less expensive way to improve performance comparing to SW optimization, especially redesign of App; but mainly, in case with SAP, the poor performance that can be improved by HW tells that the sizing of the system has been done incorrectly.
    SAP has a methodology to size your HW depending on volume of data, number of users and quantity of transactions.
    Sizing should be re-done if your data grown beyond the volume that had been used for initial SAP sizing.
    4. After exhausting (3), App team to collaborate with the App manufacturer's support organization to see what design changes or parameters could alter the nature of queries being generated or affect the size of the underlying tables. (too specific for each 3rd party app)

  • "Software Update" for 3rd Party Apps?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of an application that could act like Software Update for 3rd party programs, so that a list of updatable applications shows and you can select to download them all at once?
    I know some do an update check on launch, but I was just wondering if there was a more convenient way?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Yes, but no. App Update is a widget that will check for updated versions of your apps. It can be found at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/appupdate.html. Unfortunately, it won't install them for you, but will give you links to websites where you can download the newest version. I use it and like it. Give it a try!

  • How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

    I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain. 
    Even Appls's FAQ says so:
    Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps?  Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
    I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

    If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
    SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
    "restore candy crush backup progress"
    Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

  • Possible fix for 3rd party apps crashing after 3.0

    If some or most of your 3rd party apps crash when launching them after upgrading to 3.0, I have a fix that cured my problem. Another symptom is that you can delete the App, then reinstall and it works until syncing with iTunes.
    Well my cure was to download any app, even a free one via iTunes, then sync with the iPhone. All was cured. I usually just download Apps straight from the iPhone, but the iTunes route worked.

  • Assign manual cost and profit center for 3rd party purchase order

    When we have a 3rd party purchase order we need to assign OUR cost and profit center to that document.  Here is the scenario:
    We buy a product from a vendor for $10 and then re-sell the product to a customer for $100.  Instead of posting this information to either cost or profit center of the vendor and customer, we need to assign the $10 to our company cost center and the $90 to our company's profit center.  We are basically acting as a middle man for selling a product.
    I am fairly a newbie, so please provide detailed answers if possible.  We create the sales order in VA01 and create the purchase order in ME22N.

    HI Kapil,
    For any accounting entry you need to define a General Ledger Account where the details (Amount) of the transaction will be stored.
    Just by maintaining cost centre will not help in completing any transaction involving accounts. So you need to  maintain G/L account in the controlling area of your company code.
    You can use T Code FS00 to create new G/L account in the chart of accounts.
    In the edit cost element Tab you can give the cost center that you want.
    I hope this helps.
    thanks

  • SDK for third party apps Question

    i have the new version 1.1.3 04.03.13 and i am not able to get the third party apps and i wanted to know does anyone know when they will be putting it out?

    Also, the release of the SDK will not coincide with new apps being available on that date anyway. Apps will need to be written and tested by the developers, then submitted to Apple for testing, digital signature, and sales. After they decide it is safe and believe it to be an asset to the iPhone, then it will become available. This will take months, not days after SDK release.

  • A Permanent Fix For 3rd party apps that don't launch?

    Since Apple has removed my post suggesting this is a bug (and if you've owned iPhones from the get go, you will know that this is). I'm putting a question out to the forum in hopes that besides the already mentioned deleting/updating an app via the store, uninstalling all apps (losing all the app data) and reinstalling et al, has anyone found a way to keep this from happening ever OR a way to back up the particular file that must store authorization data that gets corrupted?

    My experience is the same as w7ox for as long or longer. I've had a couple of apps that would occasionally crash on launch, but these were fixed in updates from the developer. One thing to be aware of is that all apps share the same memory, so if one is ill-behaved it can cause others that are perfectly innocent to crash on launch. So the likely situation is that you have one errant app. When an app crashes because a problem in a different app a reboot will fix it, sometimes only until the other app is run again.
    BTW, there are huge numbers of posts pointing to problems that are called bugs by the posters (and some actually are), so it's likely your post was deleted for a different reason than the fact that reported a bug.

  • IOS 6 Custom Ringtones for 3rd party apps such as Talkatone

    Will iOS 6 ever allow an app such as talkatone or google voice to allow custom ringtones? Does anyone know??
    Since they upgraded from iOS 5 to 6 that feature is no longer available. It is quite a bummer. Please put it on again Apple!

    You can't use custom ringtones for Talkatone.
    Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

  • 3rd party app alerts no longer show up in the notification center

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 last week and ever since alerts for 3rd party apps (like gmail and others) haven't been showing up in the notification center.  I've checked my settings for both the notification center and for my individual apps to make sure they weren't reset, made sure my apps were up to date (not all of them have had updates since iOS7 was released but some definitely have), tried toggling them on and off and rebooting, but so far nothing has helped.  The banner alerts work, but nothing pops up in the notifications.  Has anyone else experienced this or have any other ideas how to fix it?
    I've generally been pretty pleased with the new version of iOS, but I'm hating everything about the changes made to the notification center.  Even if I do get my notifications to work again, I hate that we're forced to have that "Today" tab even if you switch the summaries off!  I like the unified page from iOS6 much better.

    Hi cyn999!
    I have an article that can help address this question:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
    As you can see in the screenshot, the weather does show up in the notification center, but it is in text form instead of icon form in iOS 7. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

    Braden

  • 2-step Verification in 3rd-party app

    I was considering developing certain apps for iOS and Android that would include the need to sign in to a user's Outlook.com account. Looking at the API, I could see that regular sign-in is supported using OAuth 2.0, but I could not find a statement verifying
    whether or not I could also somehow enable signing in with two-step verification (assuming that the user has that feature enabled in Outlook.com). Does anyone know conclusively whether it can be done in a 3rd party app?

    Only OAuth is supported for the Live Connect API/SDK.  With OAuth, the user still needs to provide consent for your app to access certain information on their account (which they can remove at any time).  I'm not sure if 2-step verification is
    supported for 3rd party apps.

  • Should 3rd party app installed from app store has admin or wheel in info box?

    I installed a free program from the app store called Kitabu (an epub reader). Click on the info & it said wheel. I thought only programs came with the mac by default will have wheel and all other programs (ex: iWork, microsolf office) will have admin instead--which they do, I checked. Is this normal for 3rd party app to have wheel group?
    Also the quick look plugin in this program (kitabu) works fine when I 1st installed it (quick look & preview function can view page cover of epub books). Then it stopped working. Is it the program fault or my mac?

    Either or.
    Trash the program's plist file which is located inside /Library/Preferences.  Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.

  • 3rd party apps crashing with 3.1

    I have a 3GS running 3.1, and after updating all 3rd party apps are crashing when I try to launch them. The app's splash screen will load, and then it'll go back to the iphone app screen.
    I've tried restoring and that didn't help.
    I then tried deleting and redownloading apps, and that didn't help.
    Has anyone found a way to fix this?

    this is Apple's response:
    Dear Corey,
    Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store. I understand that your applications are crashing, and have not been able to use it because it quits unexpectedly when you try to open it on your device. I know this is frustrating, and I will try to provide as much information as I can to help you resolve it.
    Corey, it's possible that the application became corrupt as it was downloading. Because you purchased the application and the installation was not successful, you may download it again at no charge. I recommend that you delete the application from your device and from iTunes, and then download the application to your computer and sync your device to your computer.
    To uninstall the application from your device Corey, tap and hold its icon on the home screen until the icons wiggle. Then tap the "X" next to icon of the application to delete it. To stop the other icons from wiggling, press the Home button.
    To delete the application from iTunes, open iTunes and click Applications on the left, then click the icon of the application. Press the Delete key on your keyboard, then click the Remove button, and then click the Move to Trash button.
    Now, using your computer, sign in to your iTunes Store account and attempt to purchase the application again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the application and will be allowed to download it again for free. After downloading the application to your computer, sync your device to your computer.
    If your computer is not available Corey, you may try purchasing the application again using the App Store on your device.
    If the application quits unexpectedly even after you reinstall it, please reply to let me know. I will be happy to assist you further.
    Please note that if you download other types of iTunes Store content—such as songs or videos—and find that they are unusable, it’s not possible to simply delete them and download them again. Instead, you must sign in to your account, access your Purchase History, and click the "Report a Problem" button.
    Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer Corey. We appreciate your business. We here at the iTunes Store appreciate your business.
    I did this with a few apps, and most worked, but a couple still display the same launch/crash symptoms. Also, i have several apps that if I delete them from the phone, I would loose information entered into them, so this solution is fair from ideal. I'm also running Blizzard's Authenticator, which I can't easily remove from my battle.net account without logging in, and I can't log in without the authenticator working.

  • Query: Selective Transferring of old data (3rd party app) from old iPhone

    Hello all.
    I am collecting my new iPhone 3GS tomorrow
    (and) I want only to add some, and not all the 3rd party apps (from App Store) that was with my old iPhone, in particular, Notes+
    I know if before I perform a software restore or upgrade, iTunes will perform a back up of the phone, and if I insert a new iPhone, and choose the same name, e.g. "howwow iPhone", it will restore all the apps and data into the new phone.
    But if I treat this new 3GS phone as a new phone, e.g. I name it "My 3GS iPhone" and add the Notes+ app, will all the data inside be copied into the new phone?
    My main 2 aims are to only add some apps I need (like Notes+) to the new phone and still able to keep the data/notes in it, without re-adding manually.
    Thanks and cheers

    There is no way to selectively restore certain data from the backup to the new iPhone - it's all or none. If you set it up as a new phone, none of the old data will be transferred. Alternatively, you could set it up from the backup, then delete all of the unwanted stuff.
