No worries, if I was a bad actor you'd be doing the right thing, and as many have already pointed out more often than not it is a bad actor. It's tough (trying to be) of the good g…

I'm really hoping Apple keeps a log of pushes, because they'll happily be able to tell you that the only pushes I send with Slopes are silent content-available notification for syn…

Hi, developer of Slopes here. Wait, what!? I do not use push for marketing (I hardly have a working push server). I haven't ever sent out any push notification for any reason (the …

People are still complaining about section 8 - the remote kill switch? I remember only one instance of an app remotely killed, and that was malware. Even apps that enabled tetherin…

Check out CocoaConf ( http://cocoaconf.com ). They travel around the country and provide many technical talks. I was at their DC one in March and found it very educational.

"Not tech" as in no sessions focusing on how to maximize your CoreData performance, or how to use Metal in your new iOS8 game. No talks that are technical in nature.

Congrats! Quick nitpick - fix your icon in the app store itself. Looks like you have the corner radius from iOS6 on your icon so you get some black edging in the corner. I usually …

I make a distinction between trust and reliability. I can trust a company, even though they might not make the most reliable products. Bugs/etc are a great way to lose my business …

Come now, for years devs have criticized Apple for not having a proper first-party beta-testing solution. Now what might be their step into addressing that developer cry is being u…

It actually is - each plane as an ideal glide speed that you pitch the plane to match during an engine-out. 1 mile per 1k feed above ground level is a good rule of thumb for glide …

SEEKING WORK - Based outside of Philadelphia, PA. Remote work ok. I specialize in crafting both web-based and native iOS applications and I run Consumed by Code. Over the years I'v…

I've been debating using something like Parse or Azure as a backend, and this looks like a nice alternative as I'm usually a roll-your-own-solution kinda guy. But I worry about how…

I noticed the same. I think that's replace with the "Up Next" feature - basically letting you queue songs to an ad-hoc playlist as you go.

Sure, it's slowed down - everyone has gotten the pop-up by now telling them to OTA update so those that are left didn't want to right away. But that just puts us in the same boat w…

The adoption rate for iOS6 has been amazing compared to previous versions that weren't OTA. Over 60% in less than a month (according to a statistically significant and diverse user…
