Understanding and Analyzing iPhone OS Application Crash Reports(logs):

Steps to analyze crash report from apple:

1.Copy the release .app file which was pushed to the appstore, and the .dSYM file that was created at the time of release and the crash report received from APPLE into a one FOLDER.

2.OPEN terminal application and go to the folder created above (using CD command)

3.atos -arch armv7 -o ''/'<.dSYM filename here>' .

The memory location should be the one at which the app crashed as per the report.

Ex: atos -arch armv7 -o 'app name.app'/'app name' 0x0003b508This would show you the exact line, method name which resulted in crash. Ex: [classname functionName:]; -510 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4604843/crash-log-in-device http://furbo.org/2008/08/08/symbolicatifination/ http://davidbits.blogspot.com/2011/08/understanding-and-analyzing-ios.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1460892/symbolicating-iPhone-app-crash-reports

How to create universal static libraries on Xcode 4:

Install .app on iPhone simulator:

If you open up Finder, and go to /Users/user/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/iOS version/Applications, you will find directories for all the apps installed on the simulator.

Just zip up that top level folder for the app, and have the other user drop it in the same directory. Works like a charm.

NOTE: I think you may have to compile it for that specific version of iOS before sending it over to them.

DigitalColor Meter + [UIColor colorWithRed:0.663 green:0.855 blue:0.341 alpha:1]

We have an application in our MAC called "DigitalColor Meter". We can use this application into our application to get the color code for RGB.

Steps:

1) Open DigitalColor Meter application in MAC, can use spot light for easy search.

2) Keep the required mode to "RGB as Percentage"

3) Using the mouse pointer go to the required color on the screen.

4) Note down the RGB values in percentage.

5) In our code you can use the method

[UIColor colorWithRed:0.663 green:0.855 blue:0.341 alpha:1]

convert percentage values into fractions. like 53.5% will become 0.535. Use the respective RGB values in the code, and alpha value must be 1.

Run the application, you will get the exact color required.

How to Password Protect a Folder on the Mac:

* Open up the "Disk Utility" application

* File -> New -> Disk Image from Folder...

* choose a folder to protect

* choose "AES-128" encryption and press Save

* Enter your desired new password twice (Do not forget it.)

This process creates an ordinary Macintosh disk image (.dmg) file. The disk image contains the entire contents of the folder, but cannot be opened unless the correct password is supplied. To open it, just double-click the .dmg file in Finder. A password dialog box will appear. Once you supply your correct password, Finder will automatically unencrypt your data and mount the image as a disk.
