ipod

I have an app, that will keep track of everything the user do in the iPod app. To do this, I added few observers to NSNotificationCenter, like MPMusicPlayerControllerNowPlayingItemDidChangeNotification. But my problem is, I only get those notifications when my app is in the foreground, if its in the background, the system add the notification to a queue, and then the next time my app becomes active it delivers it to me. I have no interest in this queue, since I want to receive real-time notifications. Is there any way for me to get those notifications even if my app is in suspended state? I

I do not have iPhone developer account. I want to test my app on my iPod Touch. iPod iOS version : 5.1 (9B176 build) Xcode Development SDK : 5.1 Simulators : iPhone 5.1 Retina/normal iPad 5.1 Retina/Normal To bypass code signing etc, I changed changed the project settings like below. Code signing identity Don't code sign Debug Don't code sign Any iOS SDK Don't code sign Release Don't code sign Any iOS SDK Don't code sign I connected my iPod-Touch to my MacBook Pro, selected iPod as my target (instead simulator), built the project and ran it. Then I am getting the error "No Code Signature found

I am thinking about buying an iPod touch to make some money on developing apps for the iPhone. I like the concept of the App Store and had a quick look at it with iTunes. Looks like applications are categorized, to be iPhone OR iPod applications. Some apps which are free for the iPod seem to cost for iPhone users. What is the difference of both platforms, or why is the App Store separating them ? Does it make sense to develop for the iPhone using an iPod touch (beside phone/location related apps) ? On developer.apple.com I can sign up for selling my Applications on the AppStore for 99$. Do I

I have an app that runs slowly on an iPhone 3G but is fast enough on an iPhone 3G S. Is there a way to limit the app to be available only for iPhone 3G S and faster devices? I would like to avoid bad comments because 3G or even 2G users download it and then complain about it being too slow. You can set minimum capabilities required to use your application by providing values for the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in your application's Info.plist. In this case, I'd recommend using the opengles-2 capability, because all iOS devices with the post-iPhone 3G S faster hardware support OpenGL ES 2

I'm thinking of improving my programming skills by making a music player to sync with an iPod/iPhone but there's no point in even starting if I can't even access the device! I've spent all day googling but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I don't want to ssh to the iPod or Jailbreak it etc. I'm either looking for a way to access it myself or using what I assume would be a simple script. I know it's possible because you can use things like 'iPhone Explorer'.. Thanks :-D iOS devices do not have a mount point because the computer does not treat them as data drives. Instead, data is sent

I want to make a small app that displays a PDF, presenting zoom-able single pages with a previous-next page function. The Core Graphics API is pretty much the same in Cocoa and Cocoa touch. Read up on CGPDFDocument , it should provide you with everything you will need to render PDF pages. You won't need to read the PDF spec or use a library to parse PDF files directly. You will probably to learn more about Core Graphics / Quartz 2D / etc. to understand how to use those functions inside of a Cocoa app. Based on the gradually evolving Apple policy of rejecting application submissions that

I have installed Cocoapods, and created a Podfile using Atom containing the following lines: pod ‘Parse’, ‘~> 1.7.1′ pod ‘ParseUI’, ‘~> 1.1.3′ Upon placing this file into my Xcode Project Root Directory, and running 'pod install' in Terminal. The following is shown: [!] Your Podfile has had smart quotes sanitised. To avoid issues in the future, you should not use TextEdit for editing it. If you are not using TextEdit, you should turn off smart quotes in your editor of choice. /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/cocoapods-core-0.38.2/lib/cocoapods-core/standard_error.rb:87:in `message': incompatible

I'm currently working on a project that involves playing music from the iphone music library within the app inside. I'm using MPMediaPickerController to allow the user to select their music and play it using the iPod music player within the iPhone. However, i ran into problem when the user insert his earpiece and removes it. The music will suddenly stop playing for no reason. After some testing, i found out that the iPod player will pause playing when the user unplug his earpiece from the device. So is there any way to programatically detect if the earpiece has been unplug so that i can resume
