Recommended hardware for iPhone/iPad app development

What are the minimum system requirements for a comfortable development platform for iPhone and iPad apps? I know OSX 10.6 is required, but do I want/need a fast processor and/or lots of RAM? Would a new base-model Macbook be sufficient?

Raw off the shelf Mac mini here, just hobbyist, not pro. But it works just fine. If your looking at low cost entry level, just getting your feat wet. Or expect to be able tpo afford more later, then its just fine.

One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

AirPort Admin Utility App available for iPhone/iPad?

Is there any iPhone/iPad app available where i can Change the setup of my AirPort Express while on Travel?
I don't Wanting to Carry my Laptop with me only iPhone & iPad?

Is there any iPhone/iPad app available where i can Change the setup of my AirPort Express while on Travel?
The AirPort Express does allow you to store up to 5 different "profiles", so you could setup a "travel" profile on the device. You would just need to remember to switch to the "travel" profile before you leave on the trip.
If you are already on the road and need to change the setup on your AirPort Express, you may be able to download AirPort Utility on one of the computers in the hotel lobby. It's a stretch, but I've done it without any problems. Might be a good idea to let the hotel clerk know what you are doing and and assure them that you will delete the download when you are done.
You'll need to connect the Express to the computer using an ethernet cable to configure it.

Export for iPhone & iPad same time - Without resolution issues?

Hello,
I have developed an app for the iPhone and it runs perfectly fine on the iOS for iPhone. I am trying to port it to the iPad so I have done the proper stage adjustments and have set export as "iPhone & iPad"
It opens up fine on my iPad, but the same app opens distorted on my iPhone (since the stage resolution isn't native, so it gets squished)
How can I make my app iPhone/iPad friendly all in one IPA?
Thanks.

Use the same iphone version without any change on the stage and publish it for Iphone/Ipad with full screen parameter.

Sell iBook in iPhone/iPad app?

We are developing an iPhone/iPad app, now we are inrtessted to publish text with app purchase created by the iBook author,
Is that allowed to do that with considering the Eula.

If you sell a .ibooks file, it needs to be sold from your site using your transaction process. Your app cannot have a 'buy' button for that and can only be used to send the user to your site.
From the App Review Guidelines:
http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html
Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app, such as a “buy” button that goes to a web site to purchase a digital book, will be rejected

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

Exporting audio for an iPad App

I edited an MP3 audio file for a friend - it's narration of a book, about 4.5 minutes. I need to export it for an ipad app he's creating and want it as small as possible but still have the audio quality be good.
Any recommendations for settings? Thanks.

create an .M4a file. change the extension to M4b. That's the audiobook format. The ios device will recognize it as a book. In iTunes (and elsewhere), do a get info for the file and add a book cover, or other artwork, and update the data fields. Make sure that it's set to remember where the listener leaves off.

Design help for an ipad app

Am a newbie ipad app developer. Chose the ipad due to the larger screen size. All I need is a few tabs. When user clicks on one of the tabs shows several UIPickerViews, some sets of check boxes (maybe organized into a UITableView), perhaps a boolean switch. None of these views to be displayed are known in advance so figure I will need to create them all programmatically (no interface builder). It appears to me that on the Ipad I could use the Split View-based application. In one area of the screen would be the tabs which shows all the time. On the other area of the screen whatever the tab needs to dsiplay. What I am struggling with is how to organize a mixture of elements when user selects the tab to show a bunch of picker views, some check boxes etc. An arbitrary number of drop down menus, checkboxes etc are so easy to setup in HTML and Javascript that I am surprised they made it so hard to accomplish on a native iPad app. As I understand there can be only one controller for each screen, yet most of the examples on the net talk about a Picker or a Table view but never talk about how many them could share the same on a scrollable window. Any help will be appreciated.

Have you seen the direct email I sent to the address registered with your forum profile? I notice though the problem has changed. You originally posted the problem as simply the wrong layout being presented. Now it seems to be that the content is not being displayed.

Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

Just checked. The png still does not display on iPhone(5) or iPad(3). The image was also made by me in pixelmator and both (png and jpg) were exprted from pixelmator.
