ios 5.1 with xcode 4.2 for iOS development

To get Xcode 4.2 on Snow Leopard to run code on a device running 5.1 you can do this: If you have another Mac running Lion + XCode 4.3.1 you can copy the files from: "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.1 (9B176)" to the equivalent place on your SL Mac: probably "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport" and also copy 'version.plist' from the Lion machine in the iPhoneOS.platform folder to the SL machine. Re-start XCode on the SL machine and re-connect the devices and it seems happy enough. [If you don't have access to a machine with Lion+4.3.1 you can get the files out of the 4.3.1 DMG which can be downloaded from Apple here: http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_4.3.1_for_lion/xcode_4.3.1_for_lion.dmg then mount the DMG, Show Package Contents on the XCode icon and drill down to /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport to find the files mentioned above.]

The Music Player Framework in iPhone

Getting started: MPMusicPlayerController

You need to add MediaPlayer.framework to your target in Xcode and #import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>. To control music playback, we use an instance of MPMusicPlayerController. There are two types of music players. The iPodMusicPlayer is a reference to the music player instance used by the iPod app. Any settings you change, such as the shuffle or repeat modes, will be changed in the iPod app, too. If the iPod is playing when your application starts, the music will continue playing and you can access the current song and skip back and forward through the currently active playlist. When your app quits, the music will continue playing. I imagine this mode is very handy for most utility apps that try to improve your music listening experience by interacting with the iPod.

Developing RESTFUL iOS Apps with RestKit

What is RestKit?

RestKit is an Objective-C framework for iOS that aims to make interacting with RESTful web services simple, fast, and fun. It combines a clean, simple HTTP request/response API with a powerful object mapping system that reduces the amount of code you need to write to ‘get stuff done’. RestKit’s primary goal is to allow the developer to think more in terms of their application’s data model and worry less about the details of sending requests, parsing responses, and building representations of remote resources.

iOS 5 : UIStepper Control

There is a new pre-built control in iOS 5 for incrementing or decrementing a value, UIStepper. The control has two buttons aligned horizontally, one labeled with a plus (+) the other a minus (-).
One nice feature is a continuous option, wherein if the user presses and holds down either +/- button, the stepper value is incremented repeatedly. The longer the button is held down, the faster the increment will occur. Also, you can have the increment value wrap around when a range of values is specified, for example, if you set min and max to 0 and 99 respectively, when the value reaches 99, the next value will be 0 (and vice-versa).

Below is a screenshot that shows the output of the example code below:

UINavigationController Customization Tutorial

Creating a UINavigationController programmatically

Creating a UINavigationController programmatically is trivial. Assuming that you’ve already created a class called RootViewController that subclasses UIViewController, you would use something like this, typically in your AppDelegate file:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    

// rootViewController can't be an instance of UITabBarController

// remember to include RootViewController in your class!

RootViewController * rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RootViewController" bundle:nil];

UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];

[self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];

// Don't bother releasing navigationController as it needs to be around all the time

   [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

   return YES;

}
