Installing OS X iPhone for developing, necessary? If so where to download?

According to documentation here:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/devices/howto.action
It says "To run your code on an Apple device, you will need to install OS X iPhone onto each development device and "restore" each device to a development state."
"1 Download the OS X iPhone Disk Image (.dmg) from the iPhone Dev Center for the Apple device you are using.
2 Connect your device to your Mac, close iTunes and launch Xcode.
3 Once the device is detected by Xcode, select ‘Use for Development’ when prompted."
My questions are is this step necessary? If so, where can I download the OS X iPhone that is supposed to be available at the iPhone Dev Center?
Thanks,
Fred

So after some more experimentation, I did discover that the the iPhone 2.0 software is installed automatically through iTunes. This step is not required. The problem I was having after a fresh install of the latest iPhone SDK (and uninstalled via the scripts included in Beta SDK's) was the following message after setting up all my signatures in KeyChain:
"Your mobile device has encountered an unexpected error (0xE8000001) during the install phase: Verifying application"
I found that the way to fix this is right-clicking on the Targets->MyApplicationName and then in the Properties dialog setting the identifier for my App Id associated with my Provisioning Profile.
Hope that helps someone

Does provisioning an iPhone for development affect its stability?

Hello,
I'm about to buy an iPhone for personal use, and will also be doing some iPhone development. Is it advisable to provision a "personal" iPhone for development, or does downloading and testing apps present a risk of interfering with the phone's operation?
Thanks in advance,
-M

You can run apps being developed on an iPhone via the iPhone simulator included with the SDK, but this doesn't allow for an app being developed to be installed and run directly on an iPhone unless you apply and are approved for the iPhone Developer Program. All that apply are not approved.
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/download.html
To test your code directly on iPhone and distribute your mobile application, apply to the iPhone Developer Program.

Do I need a separate iPhone for development?

Hello fellow developers,
I'm excited that I'm finally accepted to the dev program so I can test my app on my iPhone. Before I start testing, I have a couple of questions though. Do I need a dedicated iPhone device for the development? or is it possible to use my only iPhone for both development and personal use?
Another question is, I've read that I need to install an iPhone OS on my device. Given that I have updated my iPhone today with the latest official 2.0 firmware, do I still need to install another binary for the development?
Cheers,
Jake

1) I use my iPhone both for development and personal use. The last few beta updates have been pretty stable so personal use is possible and is not as annoying as it used to be. However, you should expect some performance issues (mostly due to extensive logging and probable debug builds) and unexpected crashes since the releases were still beta (point 2 might affect this).
2) I haven't been able to update my iPhone to the latest gold master v2.0 of the iPhone firmware yet. Since I already have v2.0 beta 8 installed, iTunes doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between the two versions. According to the information available on the development portals, we should be able to use the GM firmware for development purposes, which imho would be awesome!

Do you use two iPhones for developing?

One iPhone as a consumer device and the other purely for development. I'd think two iPhones gets expensive though. But if you use one, that's a big hassle and risk. Just wondering what the nornal methods are. Thanks.

Can't afford too but in reality I ought too. Apple should allow developers to buy carrier free iPhones purely for development.
Android are doing this....

Install Weblogic 12c zip for developement on Windows 7

I have downloaded wls1211_dev.zip for development purpose (instead of full install using windows installer), for installing on the windows 7 (64 bit). After extracting the zip contents, I set up the environment variables for JAVA_HOME, MW_HOME and JAVA_VENDOR as stated in the readme.txt included in the zip distribution. I also made sure to set the environment variables using 8.3 names (old DOS names) by using dir /x command. Here are the environmental settings:
E:\WLS12c>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK17~1.0_0\bin
E:\WLS12c>echo %MW_HOME%
E:\WLS12c
E:\WLS12c>echo %JAVA_VENDOR%
Sun
But every time I run configure.cmd, I get the following error:
(I checked the permissions on the directory where I have unzipped and it is full control for me (not an administrator user). I tried to run the configure.cmd using administrative user but the same result). I can also navigate to the directories using 8.3 names. I am able to create delete and update files and folder in the target directories as non-administrative user. I have no idea why I should be getting the following errors.
WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.1.0) Zip Configuration

Please edit the setWLSEnv.cmd script so that the WL_HOME
variable points to the WebLogic installation directory.
Your environment has not been set.
The system cannot find the path specified.
I will appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This issue usually occurs when you install WebLogic Server using generic jar installer and when launching installation with incorrect JDK version.It may be improper JDK installation or incorrect JAVA HOME setup at OS level.
To resolve this issue, uninstall current WebLogic installation using generic.jar installer that is referring incorrect JDK and relaunch the installation with correct JDK by setting correct JAVA HOME system variables. Below are steps to be followed to address this issue.
Un-install WebLogic from your machine.
If the installer is on a network drive it's recommended to copy the generic installer to your local file system and to a folder with no spaces or strange characters.
Remove the system variables you've set: JAVA_HOME, JAVA_VENDOR, and remove the %JAVA_HOME%\bin from the path system variable.
Run the installer as follows:
Open a command prompt
Change directory to \JDK_64\bin folder and execute:
java.exe -jar -Xms1024m server1001_generic.jar
After the installation is completed you can proceed to safely run the Configuration Wizard (config.cmd)

Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

Could the credit card be expired?
Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

Iphone just for development (no service)?

Is it possible to buy an iphone without service, and then use that iphone for development?
Will an iphone without service still work with XCode to test apps?
Can you still update iphone OS (without service) when new OS versions are released?
Will an iphone without service still function like an ipod touch (everything works except phone stuff)?
What's the best way to buy an iphone without service? Should i just buy via AT&T and pay cancellation fee?

If you buy a first-generation iPhone used, you can connect it to your computer, provision it for development, and install the provisioning profile through Xcode. That will add a "Dismiss" button to all the "waiting for activation" dialogs so you effectively don't need to activate the phone. I did this with 2.0 for a few weeks, and there were a couple gotchas (make sure you don't leave airplane mode on when you upgrade the firmware!) but it worked pretty well overall. I ended up getting service for the phone before 2.1 came out, but I'm not aware of that having changed.
However, I've seen warnings in the development portal that this won't work with OS 2.2. I don't know if this is just during the beta or if the final version will behave this way too. There does seem to be a workaround right now, but they might close that loophole.
Do note that if you're in the U.S., you can get an original iPhone data plan if you're activating an EDGE iPhone. This will cost $10/month less than an iPhone 3G plan. If you talk with AT&T you might be able to make other arrangements (I think there's an even cheaper plan available for the deaf that doesn't include voice calls), but I don't know the details of any of that, nor do I know what may be available in other countries.
Honestly, though, your best bet if you're an individual developer might be to get a family plan and put both your regular phone and your development iPhone on it. One thing you'll need to test is how your app behaves when it's used during a phone call, and the only way to do that is to have an iPhone with phone service. Similarly, you'll need to test how usable your app is when it has little bandwidth or a poor connection or just in direct sunlight at midday, and having EDGE access will help you with that. If your product is even marginally successful, the service will pay for itself.

IOS 5.1.1 will not install on my Iphone 4S. It fails to verify download

IOS 5.1.1 will not install on my Iphone 4S. It fails to verfiy the download and fails to install.

After many attempts to download through iTunes, I tried the direct method via Wi-Fi and it worked! First, reset the iPhone (hold the power and Home buttoms until the screen goes black, then keep holding until the Apple logo appears). Second, dismiss all other applications (hit Home twice, then press and hold any icon at the bottom of the screen until they blink and display red "-" signs; then hold each "-" sign until the app icon vanishes). Then go to Settings -> General -> Software Update. It took me about 5-6 minutes via Wi-Fi.
For what it's worth, I'm using an iPhone 3GS and had 5.1 installed prior to the 5.1.1 update. My iTunes is on a Mac G4 running OS 10.5.8. I don't know why the iTunes method didn't work, but even if it had worked, it would have taken half an hour or more to download the file.

Is there the third way to install application onto iPhone device ?

Hi guys,
It seems there are 2 ways to install application onto iPhone now,right?
The first method is download it from App store/ Ad hoc after application distribution.
The other way is that tie the iPhone device UDID to App ID of iPhone developer, then download and add the available Development Provisioning Profiles onto iphone,then build and debug application using connected iphone device in the Xcode.
I want to know wether there is the third way to install application onto iPhone device?
Sf so,anybody can tell me how to do ? or give me some suggestion?
thanks!

The other ways would envolve jailbreaking the phone which cannot be discussed on these forums.

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

Where does downloaded software go and how can I access it and install it?

Often when I try to download and install software, a dialoge box comes up telling me that my only option is to save the software upon downloading. After it completes the download, I have absolutely no idea where the software has gone or how to access it so I can install it!
First, I'd like to know where my downloaded software goes so I can install the things I need to install. Second, is there a way that I can change the settings for downloads so that things don't go to a mysterious location, unbeknownst to me? If I'm downloading something, that means I want to install it 99.9% of the time right then and there!
Thank you,
Andrea

Open the Downloads window - {Ctrl + J} - and right-click the file that was downloaded, select '''Open Containing Folder'''. Your downloaded file is there.

...but you're correct in saying that they're not generally available. You have to know where to find them. Evidently, you don't...and obviously I didn't either, or I wouldn't have asked. But I think I know how to find out where they are now.
