First you need to install pear -HOW TO?-

Then run the following commands in Terminal.

Code

sudo pear config-set auto_discover 1
sudo pear install pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit
sudo pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium

The last command is to install Selenium packages for PHPUnit. You might want to add more packages. You could find them here.

Just run the following commands in Terminal.

Code

sudo php /usr/lib/php/install-pear-nozlib.phar
sudo pear config-set php_ini /private/etc/php.ini
sudo pecl config-set php_ini /private/etc/php.ini
sudo pear upgrade-all

It seems that Xcode does not support Auto Increment Build number by default, that’s another reason for me to HATE Xcode.

Anyway, I found that it’s possible to create a build phase script (-HOW?-) and put some script to change the build number on each build. Below you can find the script.

Code

TARGET="$PROJECT_DIR/REPLACE WITH PROJECT FOLDER/REPLACE WITH PROJECT NAME-Info.plist"
 
echo $TARGET
if [ ! -f "$TARGET" ]; then
	echo "missing file $TARGET"
	exit 1;
fi
 
#!/bin/bash
buildNumber=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "$TARGET")
buildNumber=$(($buildNumber + 1))
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleVersion $buildNumber" "$TARGET"

There is a huge number of users who facing “Blue Question Mark” when trying to download an app in Installous. Unfortunately mine is working fine so it’s hard to bring a solution for it!

Randy upload the following screen shot on our Facebook Page  showing the blue question mark when he try to download an app!

Any idea about that?

Update: It seems that this is because of heavy load on download provider websites such as Mediafire.

Dev-Team just updated the redsn0w for iOS 5.0. Unfortunately  it does not support iPad2 (Actually does not support A5 Chip) and it’s a tethered jailbreak, means that you should use redsn0w whenever you want to restart your iDevice. I think it’s good for now.

• redsn0w 0.9.9b5 for Mac
• redsn0w 0.9.9b4 for Windows

• A jailbroken iDevice  -How To-
• Cydia (Automatically installed in jailbreaking process)
• WiFi or 3G Internet connection (Faster is better!)
• A PC or MAC
• An iTunes Account -How To to get it without credit card-
  
• Some ipa files (Can be downloaded from apptrackr.org)

The process

1. Open Cydia
2. Add this source: http://cydia.hackulo.us
3. install AppSync for iOS 5.0
4. Restart iDevice
5. Connect iDevice to your PC/Mac by USB-Cable
6. Copy cracked ipa files into your iTunes Library (just drag and drop to the iTunes Window)
7. Tell iTunes to install applications that you want
8. Start Syncing iPhone!
9. enjoy it!

Today while I try to update my iPhone (3GS) to iOS 5.0 beta 1, I get error 3002! fortunately I found that this error only happens when I try to “update” so I try “restore” mode and it works without  any problem!

Stay Tuned!

In several cases, while developing an application,  you have to convert a number (float, integer, double, etc) to a string. You can easily witre down the following codes and the NSString class do the rest for you!

Code

float yournumber = 123.456;
 
NSString* yourstring = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", yournumber];

As you see the above code convert younumber to yourstring using stringWithFormat method of NSString Class.

Here you can find some useful information about string formats.

Enjoy Coding!
