New to developing for IOS

Hii
i just bought my Mac mini to learn how to use Xcode Swift language to develop apps, games for both iPhone and iPad.
i am looking for a fresh start, and i was wondering if i can get directions to where to go and learn all about programming and developing apps and games. i prefer online courses more than anything else, and i want to start from scratch.
i would really appreciate the help
Best regards

Okay, but is there a way to cache the pages when I use add to home screen to make them work without an internet connection

Developing for the Mac verse developing for iOS?

hey all, i was focused on developing for iOS, but it seems like the Mac user share is growing so i was wondering if there's enough of a market for me to focus development on the Mac instead of iOS. from what i can see, the Mac platform has been around for decades and only has a 10% share of the PC market. on the other hand, the iOS platform has only been around for a few years and the iPhone and iPad have a clear majority of market share for the smart phone and tablet market.
what should i focus on as a first timer for Apple development? i've only had a couple years of VB experience so i'm new to software development overall.
thanks

If you can come up with a great app, iOS has the potential to make a lot of money.
Not so much on the Mac side.
I'm just finishing up my first iOS app and I'm thinking about porting it to OS X.
If you've got a couple of years of VB, be prepared for a lot of learning. Objective C isn't like VB except for the OOP fundamentals.
Good luck whatever you decide to do!

Developing for IOS with flash on a mac

Hello,
Lee Bremelow put up a good starter's guide on his blog about setting up development for IOS with flash on windows.
Can someone help me with a similar introduction to doing the same on a mac?
Been looking for one with no luck.
thanks,
romit

Hi Duncan,
In the Publish Settings window, in the HTML tab, at the top
of the window under the "Template" option is a second option:
"Detect Flash Version". Check this box. The AC_RunActiveContent.js
file will contain a couple of functions that will test the user's
plugin version. If it doesn't pass the test then the html page will
show a message telling the user to get the Flash plugin and a link
to the plugin.

Prerequisites on start development for iOS

Good afternoon!
Let's start developing for iOS here in the company, and I would like to know what equipment and software needed to start.
I've been searching, and apparently I install an OS X Server in a virtual machine on the server to start the development. Is that possible? I mean, do not acquire any Apple machine, but only the software I need?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply, KiltedTim.
If so, what configuration do you recommend for developing opportunistic apps for business?

Can't download the new itunes needed for ios 7

I can't download the new itunes needed for the ios 7 update all iget a the option to save a binary file (whatever that is) and when i click save it disappears. Arghhhhhh!!! Any help would be great.

I think I'm having a very similar issue. My iTunes is stuck on a version 9 & won't allow me to upgrade it. My MacBook Pro won't read my iPhone through iTunes until a version 10 or newer is downloaded.
I don't suppose you've found anyone who can help you yet?

What do I need to install to begin developing for iOS?

hi all, i'm going to pick up a Mac Mini this thursday with the intention of developing for the iOS platform. i just wanted to know what i'll need to do to begin developing so i can begin as soon as possible. i know i'll need XCode and a developer license from Apple. will i need anything else?
thanks

Max the ram in your mini.
Buy what you need to have a reliable backup.
Get the largest monitor you can afford.
Get an iPhone and iPad for testing.
Update Lion to 10.7.3 and use Xcode 4.3.1
Get a good image edtior, text editor and if you intend to do video and audio, apps to edit and manage those resources as well. See the (Mac) App Store.
When you have your Developer Account, see these links:
iOS Human Interface Guidelines
iOS Starting Point
Start Developing iOS Apps Today
App Development Overview
App Store Review Guidelines for iOS Apps
Your First iOS App
Good luck!

How much experience is necessary to develop for iOS?

I want to start learning but am not sure where to start. Should I learn basic programming language before I start, or will I be able to learn as I go?

The skills are not trivial. Pay for the program and get into the resources in the Dev Center. Start with Cocoa...books on it are ok (see iTunes/iTunes U and coding iBooks from Apple), but printed books off the rack for iOS dev'ing are just a good way to waste money - they are outdated, written against beta code and there is no way the authors support their customers...they all end up wandering the internet for help.
See this link:
iPhone Developer Beginner Resource Guide
Good luck in any case.

Multiplayer gameplay development for ios and android environments.

Can anyone recommend a book for Multiplayer game development for the i-phone and android smartphone environment using AS3, and Flash professional. Can include titles for both coding and also designer philosophy.

Explain your credentials. Do you know AS2 or AS3 programming. Familiar with AIR SDK? Flex SDK? Flash Professional? Flash Builder? FDT + Eclipse?
Where you start greatly determines the recommendation. If none of the above is anything you would consider yourself to be familiar with, and books are your thing, you're a half dozen or more books from where you need to be.

Adobe Access - new drmNativeInterface.framework for iOS 8

Hi,
We are a company that has been using Adobe Access for more than a year and so far we are very happy with the fact that the Adobe Access 4 can support playback DRM content on Desktop / Android and iOS without any problem.
But recently, to prepare for the upcoming iOS 8, I have upgraded my development iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to the iOS 8 Beta and the drmNativeInterface.framework starts working wrongly. Sometime I can stream my DRM HLS content, sometimes, the drmNativeInterface.framework just stuck in the middle without any error or exception (this issue happens quite frequently like 7 out of 10 times). After debugging line by line, followings are the piece of code that make the framework stucked without any error or exception.
1. The framework sometime stops working when we try to get the singleton instance of DRMManger
_drmManager = [DRMManager sharedManager];
2. Sometime it stops when we try to parse the M3U8 url:
[_drmManager getUpdatedPlaylist:m3u8Url
                                      error:drmErrorHandler
                                    updated:^(NSURL * newPlaylist, DRMMetadata * newMetadata){
                                        NSLog(@"Update M3U8 URL Player list for license process");
                                        //Successfully retrieved the metadata from provided link
                                        m3u8PlayList = newPlaylist;
                                        _metadata = newMetadata;
3. Sometime it stops where the DRMSession is initialized (after the User Authentication process is completed)
_session = [_drmManager
                        createDRMSession:_metadata
                        playlist:m3u8PlayList
                        error:^(NSUInteger majorCode, NSUInteger minorCode, NSError *platformError) {
                            NSLog(@"Failed to get DRM Session");
                        complete:^{
                            NSLog(@"Successfully obtained DRM Session");
Most of the time, it stops when we try to get the singleton instance of DRMManager ( issue number 1 )
I can ensure that the framework works very well with iOS6 and iOS7 (although iPhone 4 with iOS7 crashes while a lot during the DRMSession initialization).
If there is new version of drmNativeInterface.framework, please kindly let me know where we an get it as the drmNativeInterface.framework we have been using is quite old (for iOS5 I think).
Thank you very much.
Jack

Same reply would apply to you.
Do you have Adobe sales contact? If so, you may want to contact him/her.
If not, can you send an email me directly with your company information. I'll try to figure it out.

How difficult is it to port an air ap developed for iOS to Android?

We're very pleased with the iOS app we've developed with Flash Pro, (and even happier we can parlay our Flash skills into app development).
Generally speaking, is it a huge undertaking to publish the app for Android users?
I see it's an available option in Flash, but I'm wondering if it's opening up a whole new can of worms, not being familiar with the ins and outs of Android.

Like Colin mentioned it is based on how your app is laid out, if its dynamic or is designed to be cropped by the different screens it is just a matter of a republish for .apk instead of an .ipa some things are different from platform to platform like ANE related stuff but the base app is almost identical, this is the major advantage of using Adobe.
I would recommend just going and trying it on an Android phone or tablet and I think you will answer all your concerns when you try the app.
Major headache with Android is the insane amount of devices out there in the wild, you will never have your app run smooth on all of them and it is impossible to test on each one with over 1400 out now and 1-5 coming out everyday it seems. With apple you can basically test on 3-4 devices and be covered. If you decided to publish on Android get your stuff on Google Play, Amazon and the NOOK stores to increase exposure.

15 and want to develop for iOS

My mom ahs given me the permission to join the developer program using her credit card (it has my name on it though-its a complicated thing with the credit card) but I am only 15 and I was wondering if there was any way I could still join the developer program even though I'm under the "legal age of majority" which is stated as 18. Any ideas on what I should do?

What you have to do is have your mom sign up as a developer. Then, according to the Registered Apple Developer agreement, you can share her Apple ID and act as if you were her. I would suggest that your mom create a new Apple ID (with her name) solely for development purposes (by you). You (she) will need a new e-mail address for that. Then you don't have to worry about possible password changes, or billing, or payments, etc. It is all still legal, just easier to manage.
I know of a couple of people in your situation and that is the way it works. Sometimes it can be confusing when they post on the (paid) developer forums with the wrong name, but that's the way it works. Good luck!
If you have more questions, contact Apple directly: https://developer.apple.com/contact/

New security patch for ios 6.1.3 on iphone

just read a new article on yahoo news, urging folks with iphones, ipads and the itouch, to update the latest patch for a newly discovered security vulnerability.
The article gave instructions on how to update ios 6.1.3 on the iphone but those instructions don't work for me because my iphone 4s only shows the update to upgrade to ios7 and I do not want to do that.
is there a way to get rid of the prompt to upgrade to 7? And is there a way to update ios 6.1.3 and get the security patch?
Thanks.
Susie

So they should update to iOS 7.0.6.
It's the customer's choice to update or not update. If they want the security patch, they update. If they don't, then they don't.
Only the customer can decide what is more important to them; retaining iOS 6 on their device or improving the security of the device.
The only 'rock & hard place' are because of their personal choices.
Oldhippie, only YOU can decide that. IMHO, security is more important than aesthetics. But you need to be comofrtable with the decision, and no one here can help with that.

Should I use Flash Builder to develop for iOS?

We have a sizable AIR application built using Flash Builder 4.5 that is deployed on Windows and Mac. We tried to package it for Android and it simply failed to run at all. Apparently there are many namespaces not supported on Android. We've since stopping concerning ourselves with Android because the vast majority of our clients only care about iPad when it comes to tablets.
So, the question I have that remains very elusive to me is: do I attempt to build an iPad version of our product on our existing AS3/Flex code base using Flash Builder, or should I port over to xcode and go native iOS? All the marketing I see surrounding Flash Builder says that you can build apps for iPad. But just how practical is this for anything more than trivial apps? Adobe AIR is supported on Android and it failed to work, which doesn't give me much confidence in trying to make this work on an iPad. Now that Adobe is moving away from Flex does it make any sense to even attempt this?
What say you Adobe?
Thanks
Kevin

Flash/Air/Flash Builder development for ios?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know whether an application developed at iphone size, will automatically scale full screen to ipad if downloaded from the app store and if 'fullscreen' is set to true in the application descriptor file?
Most of our graphics are vector based and therefore scale fine from the iphone resolution to the ipad. We have tried publishing out our flash app developed using flash builder to .ipa format (at iphone resolution), installing it on an ipad 1 and iphone 3gs and it scales up fine on the ipad.
Does apple have any issue accepting apps at iphone size forced full screen to fit the ipad? Am I right in saying that any app submitted to the iphone app store will be recognised as an iphone app and present the x2 symbol if installed on the ipad, and any app submitted to the ipad store or as universal will automatically scale to fit full screen?
Essentially what I am trying to do is keep my iphone size app at iphone size, sumbit it as universal and just scale it full screen on the ipad... without having to redo assets or submit two versions.
I hope you can help,
Thanks,
D.

fullscreen just refers to whether the status bar is showing. If you have left the stage scale mode in its default setting, then your iPhone stage will scale up to fill the width of the iPad, but there would be a thin slice above and below the stage area that would be blank. You can perhaps just put a border graphic there, just off stage, and that would then be revealed on iPad.
For iPhone 5 you have the opposite problem, there would be bars down the left and right. So, have a border graphic off of all four sides of the iPhone stage, and you’ll be ok for all devices.
Another approach is to set the scale mode to no_border. Then the stage will scale to fill the width of the iPhone 5 or the height of the iPad, and you’ll lose a bit of the stage content in the other directions.

I'm having trouble with the new reminder app for iOS 6 on my iPhone 4s. The button for adding a reminder has disappeared. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

The button for adding a reminder seems to have disappeared. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

It should be on the top of any list you create. It is the Plus Sign in the upper right hand corner of the "Paper".
