Objective C is not too difficult of a language once you have the basics down. If you’re new to Objective C, I recommend you check out this tutorial from Apple that will help you learn the basics.
The article includes an overview of the following:
Also, I recommend you become an active participant on StackOverflow. It is a great community for asking and answering questions and there is a lot of support for iPhone development and Objective C there (stackoverflow.com).
I’m often asked the questions “How can I get started creating iPhone apps?” or “What’s the best way to start developing for iOS?” Well, this post is for you.
This week I ran across a website put together by Apple to help guide new iPhone developers through the complicated process of developing their first application.
This site was created to help you from the very beginning with tutorials for installing the XCode development platform. The site includes tutorials for creating a basic ”Hello World!” application. You will find tips about user interface, Objective C, and the tools you have at your disposal. Lastly, the site shows you how to upload your app and submit it to Apple for their approval.
This scam is an entirely different flavor. The scammer will send you an email expressing interest, and then when you respond, you’ll get an email like the following (more of an advertisement than anything else):
Ok, thank you for getting back to me. Actually i can't really get it now anyhow… my son just crashed the back of my jeep and now im gonna need to find out how much the damage will be to repair it. UGH!
Im so happy he didn't get hurt but of course it needed to happen now, when i am finally earning really good money with this home income program ive been using. You know, if you want, they've just opened up 3 more positions in our area. Basically you make money by posting links on the internet, its really easy and I just do it while watching TV.
Here's the link if you wanna check it out:

Ive earned around $800 a week since I began… not enough to stop working yet but i finally have some extra money in my bank account. Well, probably not after i get the mechanic bill lol. My sister is planning on signing up later and these positions usually go fast, so Id appreciate it if you didnt share the link with anyone else. Thanks!
Wish there was a better way to keep fraud and scams off good, useful sites like Craigslist!
I don’t often share religious posts on this blog, but this short film explains such an important topic in such simple terms that I wanted to share it. Everyone needs to understand our need for a Mediator and how Jesus Christ came to the earth to be that Mediator. This is from a speech given by Boyd K Packer of the 12 Apostles. You can find the full speech here: http://lds.org/ensign/1977/05/the-mediator?lang=eng
Diffy B James, professional scammer, sent me these three emails:
Email 1 Hello, i saw your advert on Craigslist, will like to see more pics and what is your firm price ??
Email 2 Thank you for getting back to me, sorry for the late response due to the nature of my work, can you assure me that it’s in good condition because I don’t want to be disappointed buying this from you. I’m ready to pay your asking price but due to the nature of my work, i will not be able to come for the inspection because I’m an oceanographer, I can’t make any calls right now, I would have called you and discuss about this transaction, sorry for that but I’m able to access email anytime as I’m making use of PDA on sea, so the only quickest payment option is PayPal, I make the payment via PayPal since I’m requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the PayPal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don’t have an account with PayPal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to create. Just log on to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the deal as fast as possible? I have a Pick Up Agent that will come for the Inspection and take care of every necessary paper for me. the Pick Up Agent will also handle the pick up after i have send the money to your PayPal account, will like to see more pics.
I need the address where the agent will meet you and your PayPal email address so i can send the money now.
Many Thanks
Email 3 (in response to me calling him out) I told you earlier, I’m out of state, I’m offshore and there is no way for me to come up with the cash, PayPal is reliable, secured and a fast way to pay money online moreover i don’t have the money in CASH and I cant travel with such huge amount, I can only pay via my VERIFIED PayPal account because I can’t go around with such huge amount, if you don’t have an account with PayPal kindly go towww.paypal.com you will be instructed on how to create a new account and get back to me when that is done. . kindly send me your PayPal email address so i can send the money to you now.
Best Regards
The easiest way to find your Device UDID (Unique Device Identifier) is in iTunes. Plug your device into your computer and launch iTunes. I believe a picture is worth a thousand words, so this is where you’ll find it. If the serial number is displayed there instead, then click on the serial number and it should toggle to the UDID.

The instructions were for Xcode 3 so it took a little bit of searching to finally find how to do it in Xcode 4. Check out this link: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/archives/1412. Essentially all it takes is downloading the tar.gz file at the top and then adding it’s contents into this directory:
I went to commit my iPhone app code using RapidSVN, and as I performed a routine commit to the SVN server (I use beanstalk), I got this error message: “Error while performing action: commit failed (details follow): Checksum mismatch for …” Very annoying.
Temporary Fix The temporary fix is to check out another copy of your project from the SVN server and copy/replace the file with the checksum mismatch. Then recommit and you should have no issue.
Permanent Fix (at least for Xcode projects) You can set your subversion config file to ignore certain file types on commits. To do this, find your subversion/config file and set this property:
global-ignores = (and set whatever file types you want)
You can use wildcards like * as well. So in my case, for the example shown above in the screenshot, I added *.perspective* to my global-ignores property. Should fix that issue!
To quickly find the config file on a mac, open the terminal and type:
cd ~/.subversion/
open config
On a PC, I believe it’s located here (but I have not verified):
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Subversion
