Request for iPhone developer forum

There has been a recent influx of new iPhone developers in the developer forums. They often don't identify their problem as being specific to the iPhone. You have to look at what they are talking about and see that it is all iPhone stuff. Apparently the iPhone SDK is significantly different enough that answers to basic questions for MacOS X development are not correct for the iPhone SDK.
If there were an iPhone SDK forum they might be more inclined to put iPhone-specific questions in there.

I completely agree with the previous sentiments for an iPhone developer forum. Why?
I am part of the problem. I have come into the Apple development process "solely" to work on the iPhone. I know nothing about Mac OS X. Because of that I was astounded that the iPhone documentation was not "iPhone" but rather Xcode documentation. Yes I understand that there is a great deal of overlap BUT from my point of view it looks as though Apple was extremely lazy in just dumping all of their code and documentation on the iPhone developer. They need about 5 editors to weed out what is and is not iPhone. Just my two cents.

Improvement request for the developer forums(s)

Is there any way to tweak the developer forum a little so user's can see the proper way to format code when making a post? There is no mention in the help. The Compose tab only has bold, italic, underline, and spellcheck. Somewhere on the *Post Message: New Topic* screen there needs to be something telling the user to use {code} around their code to format it properly.
I have been trying to inform newer users over there but it gets tiring after a while.
Thanks.

Even better - a button on the compose form that would insert the magic goo for us!
Seriously this is a mess with all of the new iPhone developers coming onto the forms and putting code in their posts and then the responses from the usual suspects that they should use the tags, followed by questions of how do I use the tags,...

HT201328 Hello. I sent a request for iphone unlocking:

Hello. I sent a request for iphone unlocking:
Status of your ATT Mobile Device (Phone or Tablet) Unlock request
IMEI Number
012646004628828
Request Date/Time
01/06/2014 10:08 PM
Request Number
6673769
Current Status
ATT Mobile Device Unlock Approved
But I can't still unlock it. I updated iOs, I restored data, but iphone isn't unlocked. On a site http://iphoneimei.info/ phone statute "locked". What shall I do?

Generally when you receive an email from AT&T about an unlock, it will tell you if the phone has been unlocked and then tell you to wait 24 hours before restoring the device to complete the unlock. I'm not sure where you got this screenshot you shown, but if you received the unlock email, then you need to connect the device to iTunes, restore it as new, not from a backup and you should see the message, Congratulations, you iPhone is unlocked, in iTunes. If you restore and do not see that, then you need to contact AT&T.

Packager for iPhone Labs Forum - moved but old links don't work :(

Since Packager for iPhone is an obsulete product now and everybody "should" use AIR 2.6, the Packager for iPhone forum disappered today and all links bring to the page saying: "It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake."
Come on guys, the old links to the specific forum threads should still work, I bookmarked so many links ralated to many problems "to read later" and now they are gone... Would be nice if there was some redirect to the same threads on the new forum if they were moved (I hope they aren't removed). So far we can only used "cached" in Google version...

Yeah, great, thanks Adobe... you've just lost years worth of community comments and resource there!
Who thought that removing that forum could ever be a good idea?!
It could have stayed as a static 'read only' forum with this being the new place to add comments and threads.
Shocking really...
Please Adobe re-instate it. You're normally amazing but this truly sucks and is very surprising.

Noob question - just paid for iPhone Developer Program...so what now?

Hi all
Sorry if this has been asked and answered a thousand times already but I coulnd't see anywhere to search the forum for previous threads.
I had an email earlier saying that I'm now eligable to sign up for the standard version of the iPhone Developer Program. I went ahead and paid my £59 and have a confirmation email saying everyting has been processed etc - looks like a complete transaction as far as I can tell.
I've not received any additional emails with any instructions of what I need to do next regarding getting my apps signed or how I submit them to the AppStore etc?
I've seen a few people mentioning iTunes Connect? but when I google that I get thousands of pages about people not being able to connect their iPods to iTunes
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
Thanks
Wayne

I've logged in, is there something specific I should be looking for?
Interestingly (and this may be irrelevant) but I still see some text a little down the screen in the right-hand colum saying...
iPhone Developer Program
The fastest path from code to customer. Apply now
iPhone Devloper Program
Already applied to the Program?
We are currently processing your enrollment application and will be contacting you soon.
Do you guys still see this? is this static text or dynamic based on specific login?

Using multiple systems for Iphone development?

Hi,
I have been using a borrowed macbook to start with IPhone development.
Today I purchased my own MacBook and after installing the IPhone SDK, I plugged in my IPhone and was presented with a message saying that my IPhone was flagged as development on another machine. I had an option to continue or quit, so obviously I continued.
Will this cause any problems further down the line?
Has my IPhone been 'reflagged' as a development for my Macbook?
Thanks

Can we use c++ to develop applications for iPhone
Yes.
.... If so, how it is advantageous over objective C ?? ...
It's disadvantageous since the only top layer API available for native iPhone apps is Cocoa. Every time a C++ program needs to make a call into the UIKit framework, it must use Obj-C and it may be necessary to wrap that Obj-C in additional code to implement the interface. While Xcode (with a little help from gcc) makes it easy to mix C++ with Obj-C in the same file, a C++ class can't be made from an Obj-C parent and vice-versa.
Common reasons for using C++ in an iPhone app are: 1) A static library that wants a C++ interface is needed; 2) An app written in C++ is being ported to the iPhone; 3) The developer is much more comfortable with C++ and wishes to avoid Obj-C as much as possible. This can work if most of the app is OpenGL for example. In that case, only one short Obj-C file is necessary and most of that will be available as a Cocoa template.
Hope that answers your question!

[iPhone] Is a Mac Mini good enough for iPhone development?

Hello,
I tried to search on this topic, but...not much luck.
Anyway, I am considering getting a Mini as a reasonably priced entry into iPhone development. But I'm concerned, does the Mini have enough horsepower for the task? I'd rather not be limited in terms of what I want to play with (potentially, both "productivity"-type apps, as well as some gaming development). Will a Mini serve me well, or is this a Bad Idea?
Thanks!!

The mac mini is fine, and frankly having a superpowerful machine for development is a mixed blessing because the actual machine is such a dog, that you get careless about speed. But of course your development time is shortened somewhat. THe key to keeping a mac mini happy is to make sure you have enough RAM. 2 GB is needed for all the tools to be running at once. Also you can hot-rod your mac mini with a 7200 RPM drive and really perk it up. Or of course use an external firewire drive.

Request for new sub-forum in the Safari area: Safari for iPad / iPhone

Safari on the iPad/iPhone is different enough from the desktop versions that it deserves its own forum. Questions about iPad Safari are considered off-topic in the Safari for Mac forum. Can we have a new Safari for iPad/iPhone forum?

Feature Request for iphone - how to improve your battery life

I have talked to few Apple support guys and I want to see if others have the same problem I have and support this feature request.
Your iPhone battery can get drained very fast if you are in an area where there is no AT&T Signal. This is not unusual as other phone have same problems. With my other phones such as my old Treo, I simply put it on Airplane mode.
But with the iPhone I can use WAP and I can get great WAP signals during the day.
The problem I noticed is that even if I have good WAP signal, if there is no AT&T signal it drains my battery, sometimes so bad that I could fully discharge in a day where as with same usage in other areas I would have only used about 30% or so...
So I would like to see Apple put in an option to be able to disable AT&T but keep the WAP service enabled, so this is just like Airplane mode with WAP still on.
I have tested by having my iphone running in WAP mode and when not in use I put it in Airplane mode, then try this again with exact usage another day but not put it in Airplane mode when not in use and I can see big difference.
The test was done in my building where there is NO AT&T signal.
Help me AAPL, I am a big investor and have all your products, bought my iPhone on 6/29 after waiting in line for 3.5 hours. You recently added disable Roaming option for Edge, that is a great option, now add this option so we can extend our battery usage!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!

This is a user to user forum, so nobody from Apple is going to see this. You might want to resent it to Apple feedback instead: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Request for Dashboards developed using WAD

Hi All,
Please send few dashboards which are developed using WAD in real time, which contains analysis item,container,button,filter etc and if possible please send few screen shots
Thanks & regards
Surendra

Hello Darshak,
The initial question is about WAD basics - that is why I said that. Before posting a question, we should be looking into material which is readily available like SAP Documentation and search the forums.
For basic question about dashboards, I could readily search for numerous threads - some are below.

Request for Intro to Forum Use

I apologize in advance if I missed something. When I first logged on I didn't see a "Tips for Forum Use" or an Announcement on How to find your posts, etc. or some kind of Tutorial. After two hours of reading/replying, I discovered
if you hover your mouse over a forum link, it tells you what the forum is intended for. And I had to scroll down on the left to find the section entitled "My posts" in case I want to add an answer link to one of my posts, etc. These
may already exist, but I think I followed the default path when I signed up for the Windows 10 Insider program, initiated the download, and went to the forums....tx.

You can find this sort of information on the TechNet Wiki. See

Who are the big names for iPhone development?

In .NET (C#), the big names are Anders Hejlsberg, Eric Lippert, Scott Guthrie, and Mads Togersen to name a few. All are Microsoft employees. They have blogs and there are lots of video interviews of them.
Are there any similar Apple iPhone developers (employees) that are just as accessible?

Apple used to do that kind of thing. Guy Kawasaki used to be the official "evangelist". Steve Wozniak is still, technically, an Apple employee. Neither really has any official role with Apple anymore, let alone with the iPhone.
So far, the iPhone doesn't seem to need much help. Most iPhone developers are too busy developing to give interviews. There is a fair amount of media coverage. Just this weekend there was a story about iPhone developers in the New York Times. Of course, it was in the "Fashion and Style" section rather than the business section. Make of that what you will

Install new version of libxml2 for iphone development

I need at least version 2.2.23 of libxml2 because I am trying to use xmlSaveToBuffer function with XMLSAVE_NOEMPTY flag so that the document doesn't print out empty tags.
What version is in the iphone? When I try to build is says that I am implicitly trying to define the function xmlSaveToBuffer at this line:
xmlSaveToBuffer(xmlbuffNew, NULL, XMLSAVE_NOEMPTY);
I use the following imports:
#import <libxml/tree.h>
#import <libxml/parser.h>
#import <libxml/HTMLparser.h>
#import <libxml/xpath.h>
#import <libxml/xpathInternals.h>
#import <libxml/xmlsave.h>
Am I missing an import? or is the version of libxml too old?
If its too old.... how do I install the newest version in my iphone app???

You can't.
