Sorry that I haven’t been posting much recently, but I haven’t been doing much! I started a new job recently doing full time iPhone development, so my personal project kinda fell by the wayside. I hope to pick it up again after my vacation, but I have been doing a little bit of work.

Got my App on my iPhone!
Exciting days! This weekend I finally got my app running on my iPhone. It took a while to get accepted to the developer program (due to a lost email) and then I had problems getting my app working on my iPhone that were solved by upgrading to the latest SDK.
But now I have my app [...]
TouchXML for the Win!
Last night I implemented saving and loading of the friends list. So now my app is actually useful! I used XML as the file format, because it’s so easy to use and read. Writing the file was easy enough, I just built up an NSString and wrote it out. Reading the file, though, was a [...]
Absorbed Into the Collective
I phoned Apple the other day to ask about the status of my application to the iPhone developer program and was told that I’d been accepted way back on August 12th!
So of course I asked her resend the acceptance email which they nicely did. All in all they were very hepful and friendly.
So I buy [...]
Another One Bites the Dust
Another major piece of functionality is now in my app. It doesn’t look pretty – most of my app doesn’t. But it’s there and it’s working. I now only have one page to go, and it’s a minor one. After I add the last page I’ll start making the app pretty and adding little bits [...]
Got Add a Friend Working
Last night I got my Add a Friend page working. You can type in a name, I’ll do a lookup and show the avatar. If you click the Add button, I add the friend to the friends list, and also navigate back there. Now I just need to add a few details to the add [...]
Name of Friend
Well, I had wanted to put up a small little dialog with a text edit field to allow you to add a friend to the friend list, but I didn’t see an obvious way to do that. So I wired up a full view to the PLUS button in the top right of the main [...]
View Shows!
Recently I’ve been making some pretty good progress with the GUI. When I click on a friend in the table view, it brings up another empty view (more on that later). It has the appropriate button in the nav bar now to go to the next view. I have three views that the nav bar [...]
WPTouch and Invisibility
I had to disable the WPTouch plugin that shows an iPhone-friendly view of this website. For some reason I’m unaware of, it just stopped working. When I viewed this site on my iPhone, it gave an error. So rather than get an error, it’s better to get the original design of this blog. I’ll have [...]
Nav Only
Last night I implemented the idea from my previous post. I wasn’t sure quite how to go about it, so created an nav bar app from scratch using a template, and just copied what I saw there into my own app. It went without a hitch, and now I have a nav bar only app!
I [...]
