Cocoa Literature
february 2012 by davidetarascibu
Articles about programming in Cocoa are many and in many places. The majority of them are of very high quality. To help out, I made this collected index, searchable by title or by article content. This page is very easy to maintain, so please email me any other articles out there that I've missed. Of course, make sure you also know about Apple's Cocoa docs! Also note that there are many Cocoa languages beyond Objective-C.

Coyote Tracks - Not a race, but a series
january 2012 by davidetarascibu
It’s just that the tide of Android devices is going to be primarily composed of “free with contract” uglies, not the kind of cool phones that compete with the iPhone. (Which is not to downplay cool Android phones, which I suspect will get more competitive, not less.)

Designing “Mute” – Marco.org
january 2012 by davidetarascibu
It’s a typical design problem: it can’t be heavy and light and big and small. Neither decision will satisfy everyone all the time or cover every edge case: if Apple implemented Mute in Ihnatko’s preferred way, millions of people would be just as irritated when their scheduled alarms didn’t wake them up.

∞ Apps are Critical
november 2011 by davidetarascibu
Even with all those reasons, I just can’t believe that there is still only one Android app that I can look at and say: “yes, that’s what I am talking about.”
Even if all the above reasons for not developing for Android are true, it would still seems highly unusual that I was only able to find one good app.
The best guess I have has to be that the “market share” is just not that high, thus not making it “worth” it for developers to make amazing apps for the platform.

Code signing can be a pain, but the fact that Xcode gives very little information about a mobile provisioning file does not ease things. Let me introduce a new QuickLook plugin. This plugin allows you to get a QuickLook preview for all .mobileprovision files.

Understanding iOS 4 Backgrounding and Delegate Messaging | Cocoanetics
april 2011 by davidetarascibu
Now that we all are moving our source code gradually to iOS 4 I had to pause and think a bit about where to move which code. A problem that I’m facing frequently when updating a project is that the didFinishLaunching is only called if the app really launches.

january 2011 by davidetarascibu
WordPress is incredibly popular, so it’s no surprise that there are a few iOS apps out there written either specifically for WordPress or to at least integrate with WordPress.

(iTunes)
Express for WordPress – “Express is an iPhone app built to quickly and effortlessly publish images/links/notes and short posts, on the go, to your WooThemes powered WordPress website.” Requires either a tumblog theme from WooThemes or the WooTumblog plugin. (iTunes)
PhotoSmash – “PhotoSmash makes sharing images on your WordPress blog a snap! Don’t wait until you get back home to post your images.” Requires the PhotoSmash Galleries plugin. (iTunes)
Polldaddy – “Take the pulse of your customers directly for the first time ever with Polldaddy for iOS. Now all the power and flexibility of Polldaddy surveys are literally at your fingertips.” Requires a Polldaddy account and the Polldaddy Polls and Ratings plugin for WordPress interoperability. (iTunes)
ShoZu – “ShoZu connects you with all your favorite social networks from one app. Update all of your social networks at once – upload photos and videos to over 50 of your favorite sites including Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Photobucket, WordPress, MySpace, Photoshop, and email addresses at the same time.” Requires a ShoZu account.
