OT: Apple hiring for Pro Apps development.

This is a little something that I just found (in a roundabout way) while using my college alumni career services website.
Hopefully, this will speak to those folks who run here, arms overhead flailing, in fear that the pro apps are being neglected or worse: headed for the chopping block. Yes, I know that the TOU of this forum forbid speculation about future Apple products. So I won't speculate. No need.
Simply put: the fact is that Apple looking to hire at least 2 positions: Sr Human Interface Designer, Pro Apps and a Sr Visual Interface Designer, Pro Apps.
Make of it whatever you will.

  • Can I use macbook air for ios app development?

    I would like to know if i can use macbook air for ios app development or macbook pro is only option?

    Just to reinforce what shldr2thewheel says - be very sure what size memory you want if you get a Macbook Air. There is *no* way to change after purchase. My advice is to go for the 4GB option - especially if you want to do app development.
    The internal storage (solid state drive) of the Air can be upgraded if required but it will probably be an expensive option. If you don't think the storage will be enough then maybe using a USB connected drive to hold non-essential files is an option.
    As to deciding between the Air and Pro you are basically making a decision between portability (Air) and expandability/bigger screens (Pro). What is more important to you?

  • Is mac mini 2010 good enough for iphone app development?

    I'm planning to get a Mac Mini 2010, with 4GB of ram instead of the default basic 2GB. I'm getting it to do iphone app development. Is this computer going to be sufficient? Are there any caveats I should be aware of?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I got exactly that setup for exactly that purpose... even the 4GB upgrade Even without the ram upgrade it should still be fine for iPhone app development. I've not run into any problems with mine.
    I got my ram upgrade because I want to run Windows inside MacOS using virtualization software - that kinda thing requires lots of ram.
    You might want to wait two days though before you buy. Apple has an event on Wednesday (October 20th) and it looks like there will be a lot of focus on Mac, possibly some hardware upgrades and a new version of MacOS.
    Regards

  • I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

    I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App.  I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

    Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
    You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

  • My ipad2 won't accept my apple password for new app install. I've tried several time and get a pop up "unknown error". Help?

    My ipad2 won't accept my apple password for new app install. I've tried several time and get a pop up "unknown error". Help?

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • On my iPhone 6 how do I change iPhone apple id for the app store. it is in someone elses name?

    hello I need help,
    on my iPhone 6 how do I change iPhone apple id for the app store. it is in someone elses name?

    Why is it in someone else's name?
    Did you get this iPhone from that someone else?
    If so they should have released the iPhone form their account before giving it to you.
    All purchases made with that account will be forever tied to it and will require it to update in the case of Apps.
    If nothing has been purchased, you can go into Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID and sign out of their account there , and sign in with your own.

  • I need to switch my Apple ID for my app store so  I can update things. How can I do this?

    I need to switch my Apple ID for my app store so  I can update things. How can I do this?

    Are you using the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store? They are not the same. However, the process is similar. Log out of the Apple ID you are now using and log in with the Apple ID you wish to use. You cannot upgrade/update apps purchased under one Apple ID when using another. All purchases are tied permanently to the Apple ID used to purchase them.

  • I Want to buy the new mackook air (2013) .Will it be good enough for ios app development as i will be installing xcode.Is 1.3hz processor good enough.

    The MBA is so small and thin many people can't help thinking it is like a Windows netbook - an underpowered toy. It isn't. There's nothing I do on my top end iMac that I can't - and don't - do on my MBA. Of course the iMac has a faster processor, bus speed, and a discrete video card so it is much faster than my MBA. Then again, my computers spend more time waiting for me to do something than I wait for them - and this includes using Photoshop and compiling code.
    If I were writing large programs - something like Word for example - I'd want a very fast processor to speed up the compile/debug/compile cycle. But for iOS development your codebase will be much smaller. Frankly I can't see that much difference between a 13" MBA and a 13" MBP for development purposes. Now a top of the line 15" MBP is a different matter with its much faster CPU and separate video card.

  • What is the percentage that Apple takes for every app/song sold?

    What is the percentage that Apple takes for every app/song sold?
    For example, a song is selling for $0.99 ($1.00), does Apple take 50%, which is $0.50 or what?
    And how is the rest of the money distributed?
    Thank you in advance for any information!

    Music: For most major record artists Apple keeps 34¢ of a 99¢ song. The remainder is mostly kept by the record companies. The recording artist gets what little is left (about 10¢).
    Apps: Apple's commission is 30%.

  • Pro support for iOS app-development

    Where can I find some more indept support for developing apps using Flash Professional CS5 / CS5.5.
    I have been seaching the web for days now. Looking for a place where professional best-practises are shared on this topic. Without any real luck. All i ever see is the same basic tutorials on how to publish your first Hello World-app and some old basics about using cacheasbitmap and such...
    Please could someone direct me to the right forum?
    Only newly official information I have found so far, is focused on Flash Builder and Flex 4.5... And I'm begining to wonder if this means that app-development using Flash Professional is on it's way out already ?!
    (Btw i tryed to make this discussion under Packager for iPhone-forum, but the option to post it there, didn't show up...)

    Hi,
    that forum was archived and the users sort of merged into this one
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/air/development/mobile?view=discussions
    ...definitely not on the way out though!

  • I have just ordered a mac pro , will this be ok for some app development work ?

    I am very new , had pc's all my life and expecting my first mac next week , I have wanting to get into app development and really wanted to know if the mac pro will be able to cut it ?  

    Sure, no problem.
    Be sure to max out the physical ram and use a fast hd. Also hang as many monitors on it as you can...the bigger the better.
    Good luck.

  • Apple Care for pro software acting like Microsoft?

    I am having massive problems with Logic and system overload messages since upgrading to a 27" IMac quad. This is frustrating because these were the same issues I was having with my 3-yr old dual core. I am waiting to upgrade to Logic 9 since I am seeing reports on the forum of users having the same issues with 9.2. I called using my 90 day Apple care, was transferred to a Logic tech, who said I only had 90 days of help with pro apps. After that, its $199 per incident, or $399 a year. So its $400/year for help with a $400 program! Tech explained that the program used to cost $1000 so they are using this to get their development costs back. This is the most annoyed I've been with Apple, if I had this problem earlier I'd have returned the IMac. So be warned, use your help quota in the first 90 days or it gets expensive.
