Hehe, had another little look at it this afternoon and now I'm sending little messages to my wife :-) Also added a few things to the video recording external: edit video, save video to photo album and save image to photo album. Hi Monte, an external to manage the bluetooth stuff in GameKit

Wow, this is great, Monte, I really need the Push Notification in all of my apps. Even just local would be great. Video recording and Game Kit are a bonus as well. What is your experience so far working with the SDK and with xCode? Gotcha's, advice, etc? -- Tom McGrath III

Hi Thomas I'm quite enjoying the iOS sdk. It's certainly a breeze compared to the sdk for the other platforms. I hope they all get updated to match. The main gotcha I've found the test app won't copy in any resources so in most cases it's e to test via livecode. As for push

Hold the phone... it looks like there's a workaround using NSNotificationCenter. I'll look into it. On 01/02/2012, at 8:03 AM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: Monte, Actually that might still be useful because I can poll for the reason for the scheduled notif and react accordingly. I just don't

2012-01-31 Thread Monte Goulding
Hmm... I can't seem to convince NSNotificationCenter to send the UIApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification notification. I suspect somehow externals are loaded after that's sent. I'm not sure. So we are back to apps launching without knowing they are launching in response to a notification.

Hi all, how to use an iPhone App as a remote control for an iPad app ? I am wondering if I can set any communication between two iOS apps (besides internet connection) ? Bluetooth ? Set a wifi intranet ? Socket communications? Is there any external to do this? All the best Paolo Mazza

Hi Paolo, First off, I'd like to say that with the external support, anything is possible...the question is how hard you're willing to work to get there. I can say that the socket code rreSocket works just fine for me here, both on the simulator and on the device. Now, as to does it work

Well sending a command and getting a response is a simple enough protocol once you're connected...but how do your devices find each other? I'd be shocked if you could do network broadcasting using rreSocket on an iOS device (you might actually get away with it on a desktop, but I've not tried
