IPhone Simulator question

I haven't downloaded the SDK yet because I'm not sure that I want to waste the time until I know that it'll do what I need... Can anyone who is using the simulator answer a question? How does the simulator deal with external communication? for example, can you test a program which uses bluetooth, wifi or the USB cable?

There is a way (in code) to check if you are on wifi or edge network, but I don't know if the simulator can simulate one or the other to test that out. Should be easy enough to implement, however.
Apple does say it's a limited number of US developers, but... where does it say "few?" Semantics, I guess. I don't see too much of a benefit to Apple for limiting the beta users excessively. Heck, it's a wave of enthusiasm that pays $99 a pop. My hope is that plenty of people of all development backgrounds (including me) will get in. My only concern is that all Apple knows about me from the abrupt "enrollment" is what they can glean from my Apple ID account. :o/
Also, I think it's wrong to assume that actually having the iPhone 2.0 software will allow you to test apps on your iPhone. The way I understand it you need to get a certificate, etc. and establish the iPhone or iPod Touch as a development machine while testing.

I don't know, but you have posted this in the iTunes match forum. Match is a specific part of iTunes and you are less likely to find people who have detailed knowledge of such things here.
I'd report your question elsewhere if you want an answer.

Have you tried actually running it on an iPhone or iPod Touch yet? That might make a difference.

[iPhone] Three questions involving shaking the iPhone

Hello All,
I was wondering:
1) Are there any built in methods or already established code examples how to detect if the iPhone is being shaken. I know I could probably come up with something form looking at the accelerometer example but I'd rather not re-invent the wheel
2) Is there a way to simulate a shake in the iPhone simulator?
3) Say I have multiple view controllers (and associated views), for instance Title Screen, Game Screen, Credits Screen. What is the easiest way to make code execute (a method, etc) if the iPod is being shaken ONLY if a certain view is active (for instance only during Game Screen, and not during Title Screen or Credit Screen). Again I have some ideas on my own how to do this but would appreciate knowing if there are any established guidelines/best practices.
Thank you very much in advance!

Thanks for the reply Scott. To reply to your replies:
1)The reason why I asked was to avoid having to sift through every example app apple released; I'd like to save time and narrow my focus. Obviously the Accelerometer sample app would be useful, and you say the GLPaint is a good one too;I will look into that, thanks. Are there any others you can remember off hand?
2)Yeah, I didn't see anything; that stinks...so there is no way at all to simulate any kind of accelerometer movement (changing the pitch, yaw, etc of the simulated iPhone)?
3) Yes, like I said I have an idea (exactly what you said in fact); this was more of a question about best practices. For instance where is best for the code to reside, in the application delegate (because accelerometer movement is something that is application wide) or in the viewController of the game screen etc.
Thanks!

Working with BDB SQL API (libsqlite3.a) on iPhone Simulator

Hi,
I downloaded latest BDB and got a static library libsqlite3.a by compiling the code on Mac OS X (1.6.8 64bit).
I am now trying to use this library as a drop in replacement into a SQLite project.
I copied the SQLite database (with only one table) to a new Berkeley DB.
I want to access this new Berkeley DB with existing code using SQLite.
I followed following steps:
1. Added (copied) libsqlite3.a from build directory to my project
2. Added #import <db.h> and left #import <sqlite3.h> as it is
3. compiled the code and ran it in iPhone simulator
The code runs fine until I go to prepare a statement. Please see the snippet from the function below:
- (void)initializeDatabase {
NSMutableArray *todoArray =[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
self.todos = todoArray;
[todoArray release];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"todo.db"];
if (sqlite3_open([path UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) { // This is ok, opens berkeley DB
const char *sql = "SELECT pk FROM todo";
const char *tail;
sqlite3_stmt *statement;
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &statement, &tail) != SQLITE_OK) { *// Fails here - table and records exist in Berkeley DB*
if (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
int primarykey = sqlite3_column_int(statement, 0);
Todo *td = [[Todo alloc] initWithPrimaryKey:primarykey database:database];
[todos addObject:td];
[td release];
} else {
NSAssert1(0, @"Failed to read from the table '%s'.", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
sqlite3_close(database);
sqlite3_finalize(statement);
} else {
NSAssert1(0, @"Failed to open database with message '%s'.", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
sqlite3_close(database);

IPhone Simulator will not scroll

I've the latest Xcode, Mac OSX, and Safari. When I use the iPhone Simulator to test a Drupal website I've developed the simulator will not scroll any of the pages. I'm using a MacAir with no mouse. What do I have to do to scroll?

I suspect you have the Voiceover accessibility feature turned on. The easiest fix is to connect your phone to iTunes. Select the "Configure Universal Access" button in the summary pane and turn Voiceover off.

Using the camera and the iPhone simulator

I have tried this with the simulator:
isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera
and it always returns: NO.
This implies that it is not possible at the moment to use the camera in the iPhone simulator. Am I correct in this?
Note: In Java Mobile Edition, the mobile phone simulator gives simulated images and video to test camera functionality.

To record video, you must first check that the camera source type (UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera) is available and that the movie media type (kUTTypeMovie) is available for the camera.
The code I added below:
if (UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera) {
But I traced the code and found that the if condition returns false. Does that mean I should run the app on the device not on simulator?

Only MainView is localized on iPhone Simulator

Hello together,
I have made up an App on iPhone Simulator, it uses the navigation tamplate and has 5 Views: MainView, RootView, and 3 detail Views. I have added localisation as usual, using Localizable.strings and making localized .xibs. So the App has now two languages. I set the language on the iPhone Simulator to German (the second Language), the system is in German (e.g. carrier). But the App Is only partly, that means, only the standart words (like delete in a TableView I have no Influence on) and the "Bar Button Item - Main" in the MainView. But this is not enough. I changed a word on a button in a English .xib, I saw the change in Interface Builder, but not on the simulator. I move the buttons around. Nothing on the simulator. I tried everything, I reseted the simulator, restarted it, but it did not help, the simulator keeps the old version. So I´m really confused, and think it´s a problem of the simulator, but I have no idea what it might be. Has anyone an advice?

See the WWDC 2011 video 'Session 125 - Internationalizing Data on Mac and iPhone'.
Are you saving changes in IB?
Delete the app from the simulator, clean the build in Xcode and try again....better yet, test on a device.

No Sound in iPhone Simulator

os x 10.9.1
run the iphone Simulator and play sound in safari,
but nothing to happen.
i try to unplug headphone and increase the volume of the built-in loudspeaker, it works.
by now, i plug in headphones it works also.
i don,t no why?

Hello all,
Has anyone figured out why this error is occurring? The odd thing about this is that I created an application yesterday using SoundEngine.h/cpp and it ran flawlessly then today, in a new app with the same files, I am getting this error and sound will not play.
The only difference between the two apps is that one uses Interface Builder and the other doesn't. Perhaps this is the reason there is an error and I'm going to try creating an app without IB and identical sound configuraion (using CrashLanding's SoundEngine) to see if this error occurs then.
In any case, any help is appreciated.

How to manually install an app in the iPhone simulator

Hi,
I have tried to copy my app to ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications but it doesn't appear in the iPhone Simulator.
What else do I need to do? Or where do I have to copy it?
Thanks,
Albert

You just set your target to your device and when you click "run", it will install it into the simulator and run it.

How to play sound/text iphone app on a Mac computer at the iPhone simulator ?

I'm wondering if there's a way to play an app that I downloaded in iTunes written for iOS 3.2 and higher which only involves text/images and sound (no fancy accelerometer etc) at the iPhone simulator which I run on my Mac computer.

What can I do ? Thank you very much!!!

I found this on stack overflow.com and thought it would apply to this article discussion for some users even though I don't understand how to revert the version (through git?)
I think this is a compatibility issue. I think the .xib has moved to Xcode 4 (as shown by the line setenv IBC_MINIMUM_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION 4.2) which Xcode 3.2's version of ibtooldoes not understand.
I think you need to revert to a version of the .xib prior to the update to Xcode 4.""
