    I would rather they took the fuel based component out of the ticket price, then charged you an amount at the gate based on the total weight of everything you are bringing on the pl…

    This reminds me of Trexels, a print created by John Martz in 2010. It's no longer available in print, but still fun to look through. http://johnmartz.com/trexels

    It says on that page what happens; they'll stop accepting builds with old SDKs, or if you haven't used the SDK before. It doesn't say at all that they will be closing their service…

    I don't see how TF removing Android support has anything to do with them going away. I just this moment created a new TF app for iOS and got a new app token/etc. Where are you seei…

    There's a third option: Continue to use TestFlight. There's no indication that they are going away.

    User defined runtime attributes in IB are great. We use them for font name and other handy things (like CALayer attributes for corner radius, shadows, etc). A word of caution, thou…

    Nice site - it has the potential to be easier to use than the github graph. It would be nice to see how many commits the forks have ahead of their parent, or something like that.

    Supporting iOS 6 is a non-trivial amount of work for many apps. Furthermore, you also have to test on iOS 6, and on more devices. All that for a piece of the market that now amount…

    Because it's a new app, and actively doing work to support anything older than iOS 7 is a waste of time.

    The app is pretty bare bones, but it has promise. Localization request: for anywhere but en_US, replace "1 mile" with "1.6 km" =)

    A great way to deal with scaling assets for mobile is to create your art in a vector format to begin with. For Uncle Slam on iOS we did all the artwork in Illustrator and exported …

    It's possible your app got rejected entirely because you didn't provide a launch image (formerly known as Default.png). I'd echo the concern that the status bar should be visible i…

    That title here on HN is a little misleading.

    There may or may not have been an API method in iOS 6 developer previews that allowed the app to provide the system with a new screenshot for resuming from background. That API met…

    Apple’s guidelines have always said that developers should avoid splash screens ‘or other startup experience.’ That's nothing new, but many developers ignore it anyway.

    I think it would help a lot if broadcast were unavailable via the client-side API. Without broadcast, an attacker would have to find out usernames or device tokens to push to. I'll…

    They're not sent "directly" -- they go through StackMob's servers. Urban Airship has a client library that can do the same thing, and it's widely used. I can see how it's certainly…
