Hello there, Thought I'll share a little observation I just made, and that cost me about an hour to debug. This is in hope that, using my experience, you may check for similar bugs.
Look at this piece of code: /// NSNumberFormatter * nf = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [nf setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterSpellOutStyle]; NSNumber * result = [nf numberFromString:@" five"]; NSLog(@"result: %@", result); /// If you were to run it in 10.6, no problem, it will return 5. However on the iPhone (or, at least, on the simulator) you'll get a beautiful (null). The problem seems to be the space in the string in front of 'five'. Apparently OSX implementation of NSNumberFormatter trims the string while iPhone implementation doesn't. I noticed this because I have a project with two targets, one for iPhone and one for OSX. My application kept returning different results while using the same source until I found this tidbit. So I trimmed whitespace and it's all great. Also, are there other similar inconsistencies I should be aware of that any of you know of?
