Problems installing Xcode for building iPhone applications

Just got a mac mini today for building iphone applications. I'm new to macs.
Downloaded the iPhone SDK. Installed it. But I saw there are a lot of
packages. Do I need to install them all? I've installed the iPhone ones.
When I launch Xcode I get the 'Welcome to Xcode 3.1', which just looks like
a lot of tutorials. How do I run the Xcode application to build iPhone apps?
Cheers,
John.

you just install XCode and it will install ALL packages, the packages that you see are to be installed one by one for expert users or users that want to have a the newest packages.
Remember: Install the iPhone SDK 2.2
you just go to menu and click File > New Project > iPhone and choose the type of project for the iPhone that you want to use, WebApp, UIApp, etc ...
because you are new to the MAC world and probably never used Objective-C in your live, it is good to start somewhere first, buy a good book of the subject, start with the language (Objective-C) them learn about the framework (Cocoa Touch) and then read all about XCode.
In the meanwhile you can check several websites to start knowing what you going to be able to do one day, here are some examples:
- Writing your first iPhone application (payed movies, first for free)
- iPhone Developer Central
- Apps Amuck
- iPhone SDK Articles
remember that you will need to apply to the iPhone Developer Program in order to submit your SDK Apps to the Apple AppStore.
Updated: You can find several movies on YouTube on how to start building apps to the iPhone, but the most seams to do a bad job cause they are screen casting the entire desktop rather the area that we need, so text will be unreadable on such dimensions.

  • Book Recommendation for Building Swing Applications

    I'm looking for recommendations on books for building swing applications from the ground up.
    I'm not a strong GUI developer. 95% of my experience has been strictly on back end development in many other languages. What little GUI experience I have has been with C++ (years ago) and most recently with HTML.
    I know what I want to develop, and even have the GUI design for my application drawn out. I just need a good book that can walk me through developing the interface in Java.
    I already have several books on Java. But, I find them somewhat limiting because they don't help me build the app from the ground up.
    Yes, I've tried the online book on the Sun site, "The Jfc Swing Tutorial: Guide to Constructing Gui's".
    Please offer some recommendations and reasons on why you like the book.
    Thanks.

    A few comments to that ....
    the first thing is understanding the LayoutManagers, that are available.
    I will give you a short guideline where they are usefull:
    FlowLayout - usefull for JLabel-JTextField combinations or several JButtons
    BorderLayout - usefull for the structure of basic containers
    CardLayout - usefull for every area of the screen, where you want to appear different panels
    GridLayout - usefull for a group of same-sized components laid out in a grid
    GridBagLayout - usefull for a group of components, that have different sizes, very flexible
    JTabbedPane - a special container, that is similar to CardLayout but with visible tabs to switch panels
    Normally you can say "I want that group at the bottom of the frame, that other group at its left side, that toolbar at its top" - if you can say so - that shouts for BorderLayout. If you can say "in this area I want to use several panels" that means CardLayout or a JTabbedPane.
    You see, if you have an idea, what the LayoutManagers do, you know exactly which area needs what Layout - so you have a guideline, which LayoutManager to use in that panel.
    To make an example:
    You want 3 buttons centered at the bottom of a frame - this 3 buttoms should be of that size, that is needed by the button texts. So, what to do:
    1. create a JPanel with FlowLayout
    2. create the buttons and add it to that JPanel
    3. create another JPanel with BorderLayout
    4. add that first JPanel to the second JPanel at BorderLayout.CENTER
    5. add this Panel to the ContentPane of the frame at BorderLayout.SOUTH
    that is a simple panel in panel construct - placing 3 buttons centered at the bottom of the frame. You have to play with that different LayoutManagers a little bit - the way you stick one panel in another changes the look of the GUI - if you know, how it changes (by playing with the examples of the tutorial), you will have that "from the ground"-experience, you are looking for - believe me.

  • Problem installing Adhoc version to iPhone and iPad - Development Environment Is - Adobe Flash CS6

    Hi,
    I have successfully submitted 2 versions of the application. There are 2 different versions for iPad and iPhone separately. These were developed using Adobe Flash CS6 and AIR SDK - 4.0.0.1628. The category is Lifestyle and app is free.
    Now I wanted to add new feature of push notification to both iPad and iPhone versions. I have successfully tested the development version with development profiles and certificates over iPad and iPhone.
    Before submitting the app to Appstore I was trying to test the Adhoc version with production environment and profiles but application was not installing to the iPad, it is the same iPad that is used for development. But after searching forums and other help Adhoc version was not installed to iPad the solutions that were tried are as under:
    1. Create new certificates and profile for Adhoc
    2. Change Entitlement tags in Application xml file
    3. Remove existing profiles from iPad to avoid error.
    4. Update OS version of iPad to 8.1
    But once I try to last point -  [4] even development version is not installing. Because there are no provision profiles installed.
    Can you please help/guide me how to fix it? I need to test both development and Adhoc versions on the iPad and iPhone.

  • Problems installing XCode on Lion

    Hello,
    I am trying to install XCode on my computer. I downloaded it off the App Store and just ran the application straight from Applications. When I double click on the application it says I must install the Mobile Device Framework through the downloader before I can proceed. When I try this, the program says installation failed and this is in my installation log:
    Before this I have been entering some commands in the terminal and installed some stuff following this tutorial, don't know if that is what is interfering with the installation.

    @khiros
    In case you're still having this issue, I had the same problem this morning and here's how I resolved it:
    Go to /Applications/ and right click on 'Xcode' and then select 'Show Package Contents' from the popup menu - this will show you the contents of the Xcode.app bundle.
    Then go inside Contents and Resources and then Packages (so, your file path should now be /Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/) and then double click on the 'MobileDevice.pkg' installer file.
    If you're having the same problem that I've had you should get a message warning you that the installer's certificate has expired. You should be able to give permission to run it anyway and have the installer proceed. Once the installation of that package is complete you should be able to run Xcode again and see it all working.
    Alternatively, try to advice above to update Xcode in the Mac App Store - I didn't see that advice until I'd figured out how to do it my way so I don't know if that will work in this particular case or not.
    All the best and good luck!

  • I can't (re)install Xcode for Snow Leopard

    After deinstalling of Xcode for Snow Leopard, when I try to install it again in AppStore I get 2 error messages, the first one is "This item is temporarily unavailable. / Please try again." and the scond one is "We could not complete your request. / There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)". I really need the Xcode and... what I've paid my $$$ for if I can't get the purchase?

    It looks like Apple forcing our moving to Lion.
    It's not good thing at all and for me specially. I have some software that aren't compartible with Lion so I can't move to it right now.
    So far, so less I like AppStore for Mac. The iPad/iPhone version of AppStore has no such problems, why the Mac's one has? Ugrh
    dronkert wrote:
    So I guess they just yanked it from the App Store. Boo!
    I contacted App Store support and they gave me my money back, so that's something, but what I really want is Xcode 4 for Snow Leopard.

  • Hardware requirements for ipad/iphone application development.

    Hello,
    I'd like to know what is the "comfortable" hardware requirement  to develop fairly big  ipad/iphone applications in a professional environment.
    Comfortable = No hardware upgrades of any kind for at least one year of heavy programming.
    I'd like to have solid numbers:
    CPU
    Memory (in GB)
    Hard drive size.
    Thank You for any help.
    Message was edited by: huskydusky

    raw power? More than enough to run Xcode.
    You asked for minimum. Any new Mac today is enough. Not sure I'd bother with an Air and small screens, tho they will do in a pinch.
    Have you walked into an Apple Store and tried using any of the computers on display? What types of apps will you be expected to work on? AirPlay and iCloud part of the apps you'll build? Universal apps or just iPhone or iPad? What do you do when you need several windows on the deskop?
    What newcomers seem to overlook are the ancillary demands from the associated text, graphics, movie and audio editors that all seem to be simultaneously required.
    I run three monitors and 1/2 dozen test mules. I keep full backups at all times. Do the math. A professional environment doesn't sound like it would require any minimums. You haven't laid out any details so it's difficult to give more than casual advice I think. You're asking questions, tho, so your on the right track.
    Good luck in any case and Happy Holidays!

  • Problem Installing Adobe Flex Builder 3 (Standalone)

    I have attempted a few times today to install the Flex Builder 3 standalone file, but I am having issues. I am currently using Adobe CS4 Design Premium on my computer.
    I am new to this type of application development.  Currently, I mainly used flash to create my interactive applications, but I need to branch out to create more complex applications.  As I already know actionscript 3.0, I was interesting into getting into Flex.  I do not know Javascript, C++, etc.
    Once I download the standalone file to my desktop and run the installer, I do not choose to download Flash Player 9 because I already have nor do I choose do download the Coldfusion or JSEclipse Plug-in as I do not have Eclipse on my computer (it comes with the standalone as I have been led to believe).  After running the installer, it almost gets to the end and then I get the following error message:
    I click OK, it finishes the install and says
    I go to the log file and get the following:

    Can anybody help me on this?  Is there something I missing prior to download?

    We're in the same boat here - the the behavour of xsd:all in
    BETA 3 renders our Flex app virtually useless because of
    communication issues with the backend webservice. We have studied
    the proposed workaround suggested, unfortunately we only control
    the FLEX app - we do not control the WS we have to integrate with.
    As a result we've gone back to BETA 2 to do some critical
    changes in the software but the "Beta expired." message we've been
    receiving is really not well received. As we have been very
    proactive in supporting development in the BETA phases including
    reporitng bugs, we think that Adobe shoudl also have some
    flexibility here and offer ways to extend the BETA 2. We're not
    asking for any type of support during that phase - purely the
    ability to compile our source until we can implement the full work
    around which will allow the software to run on BETA 3. The
    suggestion to change dates or go to previous restore points do not
    work well here with our numerous developers.

  • Problem installing ODAC for Oracle Server 11g

    I have installed Oracle Server 11g (OS:Windows XP)
    Questions:
    1. I tried installing ODAC for Oracle Server 11.1.0.6.21, then its giving the following error message: "Oracle data access components can only be installed over an existing oracle server 11g".
    2. We have a Monorail application running on NHibernate using ODP.NET. It's working perfectly when I run it on my Visual Studio 2008.
    But, when I tried to host this application, it gave me the following error message: "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client"
    Please suggest how to resolve these issues.

    Hi
    Could that be related to the %ORACLE_HOME% ?
    I've read that on the ODAC installation guide:
    On a machine without Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed, ODAC products now work if they are installed in a new Oracle Home
    So it should be performed in a new %ORACLE_HOME% and not the same as the database. Please change that and retry.

    On your second question :
    Q: I get an error: "Unable to load DLL (OraOps.dll)". How do I fix this?
    A: First, ensure the OraOps.dll file is in your Oracle bin directory (e.g. d:\oracle\ora92\bin\). Next, check that your Oracle bin directory is in the Windows system path. If either of these are not present, re-install ODP.NET. Depending on the application, you may have to restart the application (e.g. Windows Service) or reboot the computer (e.g. ODP.NET install makes changes to the PATH) for ODP.NET installation to be complete. If your ODP.NET installation is still not working, you may be running into this problem.

  • Is there an adobe -non coding needed- program for creating iPhone applications?

    hi there,
    i've been asking around for a program that i can create iphone applications with, and so far landed on xCode from apple,
    i haven't tried it yet, but as far as i heard it needs coding, and as a designer i'm not fimiliar with coding languages...
    need a simple, user friendly program to deal with, similar to adobe muse when it comes to designing websites.
    i would much more prefer deal with an adobe program to create applications than an apple's...
    is there one?

    i know one, a coder/programmer, but thought maybe there is program that will allow me to do the whole thing by myself,
    specially when i found out about adobe muse, anyway, thanks a lot for the info.

  • Building iPhone applications on Windows Desktop ?

    We run our product builds on a Windows PC. We support many handheld platforms and build all of them on the Windows PC. So ideally I want to be able to build the native iPhone applications on the same build machine.
    Note that i am not talking about developing iPhone applications on a Windows PC, just running an automated build on a Windows PC.
    Is it possible and if so how?
    Thanks in advance,
    -TRS

    You're not going to be able to create an iphone executable on a PC. I doubt that they will ever provide one. Someone might black-box a compiler, but then you take your chances.
    On the other hand, you should be able to do the automation on the PC as long as the compilation actually takes place on a mac. If you set up some network system where the PC tells the mac that it needs to compile (you may have to manually create the make files, I'm not sure if xcode can be scripted and run from php or something).
    I'm not sure that that actually helps you any... the code still needs to be on the mac, so you might as well just have the mac automate itself, I guess.

  • What kind of licensing is required for using Adobe Flex Builder IDE for building Flex Applications?

    I am looking for an IDE to build Flex Applications. Can you suggest what IDE to be used for this and what are the licensing I should procure for the same? What kind of support will be available with that license?

    Thanks Empardopo.  Do you have any suggestions? What kind of problems do you see with this tool. Also does Flash Builder 4.7 supports Flex SDK 3.5?

  • Best way for building an application main frame

    I'm about to program a desktop application.
    The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
    There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
    My question is which is the best way for building it.
    Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
    I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
    Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
    Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
    P.S.
    The application makes extensive use of RMI.
    What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

    Hi,
    I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
    On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
    I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
    I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
    It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

  • Problem installing drivers for on-board Realtek sound

    Using Neo2
    I keep getting the following error when Windows XP tries to install the driver:
    "Cannot Install this Hardware
    There was a problem installing this hardware:
    Realtek AC'97 Audio
    An error occurred during the installation of this device
    The data is invalid"
    I've tried all the usual stuff of ensuring that the software is installed prior to the PnP wizard. I've even tried installing the NT4 (non-PnP) drivers (which installed ok and appeared to work, except that the sound device wasn't recognised).
    I've tried the latest patch to no avail. Is my H/W knackered?
    Any input gratefully received. 
    Cheers,
    /D

    Ahem,
    I thought what I had specified was relevant to the query, but here goes:
    -Motherboard type and model             - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (939)
    -Bios type and revision (AMI rev 1.9)    - Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Version : Nvidia - 42302e31
    -CPU type and model                         - AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (939)
    -Memory name, model and quantity     - not sure but 3200, 2x512Mb Generic. Seems stable
    -Video card name and model plus drivers and version - Hercules 3D Prophet 9600/9600Pro Series (SE) Driver Version : 5.2.3790.2
    -Power Supply name, model and the amp rating for the +3.3V, +5V and +12V lines plus any limitation on the +3.3/+5V combined watts. This information can be found on a sticker on the side of the supply. - sorry but I haven't got the time to open the case up. It's a decent 400W jobbie. I've previously checked the various voltages and they seem OK.
    -Hard Drives: Manufacturer, type and size and which IDE or SATA ports they are located on WDC WD800JB-00ETA0 (Sata 6) MAXTOR 6L040J2 IDE 1 (master)
    -Optical Drives: Manufacturer and type and which IDE ports they are located on CDROMLITE-ON_LTR-48125S______________________1S05____\5&1DE79660&0&0.0.0 on 2nd Ide master
