Hello, I am developing a type of "note taking" App in iOS for a specific vertical market (its not just a simple note taking App, but note taking is a basic function of the App). A user will use the App to collect data (text and images) and store them in permanent storage (a data file of some sort.)

The iOS App will have a companion desktop application for the Mac, which will take the data in the "data file" collected by the iOS App and perform more analytical processes. So, the system is a two part system. One part is the iOS App. portion (the data collection part) and the second portion is the Mac desktop application part to perform more in-depth analytical functions.

It kind of looks like this  ---   iOS App >>>> (data file) <<<< Mac Application.  [The "data file can be XML, a database, etc.]

*** My question is:   How can I share the "data file" between the iOS device and the Mac portion of the system. By "share" I mean, how do I collect the data on the iOS App, put it into a permanent storage file and then send that file to the custom Mac desktop application?

Note: I am not asking how to share unassociated files between devices.

Also, if anyone has an example of how to create Apps with data storage, for use in CocoaTouch Mac applications, I would greatly appreciate it. I have not found any tutorials that show how this is done in a practical manner.

Thank you for your help.

Can someone tell me why, when viewed landscape on a mobile device (iPhone in particular), this page has the ads over the top of part of the results but when viewed portrait (or on a pc) it does not?  http://www.gopherstateevents.com/results/fitness_events/results.asp?event_type=5&event_id=745&race_id=1306

Thank you!

When photo app is opened, I want get event so that I can launch my app. Is there a way to do that?

I'm trying to use a WebView to open a URL, everything works fine if I use "http://www.ups.com"

If I try use "http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?tracknum=1Zxxxxxxxxxx"
Then i get "Error 405--Method Not Allowed"

If simply paste the above url into a browser it works just fine.

Why does WebView throw the error?

I am very new to writing iOS apps - in fact this is the first app I am writing.  In general it is working, but on first load it is very slow to load the data (which is gets from a web service).  I added some timers to sections of the script and believe I have narrowed down the area that is slow.

Briefly the process is:

1. Get the article data (in JSON) and save it to an Article object and update table cell
2. For each article check if it has an image, if so access the image JSON to get the URL
3. Download the image and save to Article Object and update table cell
4. Display table and use placeholder image if article does not contain an image

It appears to be point 3 that causes the 'freeze'.  In subsequent uses of the app it checks the saved array of Article Objects and loads data from there, and then only adds new / updated articles and deletes old articles and therefore is much quicker.

While it is useable I would like to load the table with the text as soon as it is available and then load images in the background, save it to the object and refresh the cell once it is available.  While there are articles online with code I cannot seem to get them to work.  Either I am left with the app waiting for all the images to load, or just getting the placeholder image for all articles.

My code (for this) is currently in a couple of places.  Loading the JSON is in the TableViewController viewDidLoad() and the image …

Hello,
Are there any good products, sites or services that can be used to basically develop a prototype app for planning purposes and relaying information to others like graphics, dev etc.? Something that can be used as a kind of project manager to build a app.

So lets say you have a idea for a app but want to do a rough, not flashy, draft of the layout and mock actions for buttons etc. So if you tap here then this screen pops up type of thing so not actually coding the app but just some type of WYSIWYG interface to help test out the flow of the design before spending time and money on the actual coding and graphics etc.

Is it possible to send an In-App email from iOS Swift 3 app without it opening a new email message window that the user needs to click 'Send'

I've tried using MessageUI and MFMailComposeViewController but it opens an email message window.

Hi all,

I'm new to both VS and Cordova so be gentle :)
I'm trying to lock my cordova app into landscape orientation only. I went into the config.xml and set orientation to Landscape which ends up doing this:

<preference name="Orientation" value="landscape" />

Select all Open in new window

But when i run/debug the project in browser emulator, the device is still portrait.
I tried using net.yoik.cordova.plugins.screenorientation plugin with following code nad it didn't work either (alert worked)

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    window.screen.lockOrientation("landscape");
    alert("123");
}

Select all Open in new window

Can anyone please point me in the right direction on how to lock entire app into landscape permanently. Google has not helped me.
Thanks,
Primoz

What's the requirements to develop current latest Apple App?

Can you provide details in terms of recommended Models, OS versions, Development tools, etc?

I need to draft a spec to purchase one for office use.

I am a rookie with programming but wanted to delve into programming for Androids.  What language should i use?  or what development program.?  also, does this language translate to coding pretty well if i wanted to create the same app for ios.
any commentary would be greatly appreciated

As all "great" projects start, my wife asked me to build an app for their small teacher organisation. I'm new to development of IOS, but have worked in java, so I've made progress in getting up to speed with Swift and building up the framework of the app and getting it operational.

However, it dawned on me that I don't have an understanding of do's and don'ts when building a secure app. The books I've read focused on the UI more than the data itself. With the current project, I don't have risk that I need to worry about. But would like to use this app as a ginnie pig.  I'd like to know what are things I should be doing or adding into a iOS app to ensure it's secure and protected. I am not asking from a UI Pov (Apples KB documents provided me with that), but more on the lines of protecting the data if I was sending secure data from the app to a cloud DB (I.e. Firebase) or storing user profile or credentials in the apple "Core Data".

I have a swift 3 app that uses Alamofire to connect to a web service and get data.  All working but once I am done with the data (inserted into Core Data) and exit the Alamofire closure, the memory held by the variable holding the data is not released.  See code below:  The json variable below will hold to 25MB of memory.  The JSON type is Freddy JSON.  How do i identify why this memory is not being released

            Alamofire.request("\(URLServer().ipUrl)\(urlMethodWithParameters!)") .responseJSON  {
                (response) -> Void in
                
                if response.result.isSuccess {
                    do{
                        let json =  try JSON(data: response.data!)
                        
                        print("JSON retrieval success!")
                        self.processCustomerSyncData(json)
                        CustomersAssociationsSync().performCustomerAssociationsDataSync()
                    }catch{
                        print("error")
                        let netWorkError = AppDelegate.sharedInstance().progressViewController
                        SyncherBase.synchError(sender: netWorkError!)
                    }
                }else if response.result.isFailure {
                    print("User authentication failed!")
                    let netWorkError = AppDelegate.sharedInstance().progressViewController
                    SyncherBase.synchError(sender: netWorkError!)
                }

When working with reverse geocoding some address could be ambiguous for given location and the returned array of placemarks can contain multiple values (address gets multiple hits). This happens very rarely. Usually practice is to take first or last object from given array. So, I want to know why is this common practice. I've looked in Apple documentation and they also took object at index 0. Does the first object contains the most accurate address if the array of placemarks contains more than one object for given location (lat, long)? Thanks for your answers.
