Problem with collapsing sections in UITableView

2015-04-23 Thread Jim Geist
Hi all - I have an app that displays several screens with a ton of user-generated data, and at the advice of a UI designer I'm thinking of putting the data into sections that I can collapse if the section has no data. I have a really simple implementation mocked up: a table view with one cell per

2014-11-21 Thread Jim Geist
Hi all - I’m working on getting my first desktop app ready for submission, after doing all iOS, and I’m having some issues. Our iOS apps all support older versions so we don’t use asset catalogs for them. The OS X app I’m working on is using them. I have what I think is a proper AppIcon catalog

Question on OS X app submission

Hi all - I’ve submitted iOS apps before, working on my first desktop app. My app runs as a status area icon, so I have a helper launcher app that takes care of launching at login. Do I need to do anything special with the bundle ID of the helper app with regards to the submission portal? Or is

Generating Core Data classes in Swift

2014-09-05 Thread Jim Geist
Say my app is called MyGreatApp, and I have a Core Data entity named Entity. Per instructions, I namespace the class associated with the entity and call it MyGreatApp.Entity. When I use Create NSManagedObject Subclasses and tell it to generate Swift files, I get a class called MyGreatApp that co

Power Nap/wakeup

2014-09-01 Thread Jim Geist
Hi all - Is there any way to set a timer to fire when the system is in full sleep, or a public API to Power Nap? (Right now I only care about OS X, not iOS). I suspect the answer to both questions is no. If that’s true, then my app doesn’t need to worry about it either :) Thanks!! __

Setting brightness and applicationWillResignActive

My iOS application needs to keep the device active by disabling the idle timer, but dims the display to conserve battery since it will be running for long periods. This works fine, but I want to make sure to restore the user’s settings if the app is switched away from. The code sets [UIScreen m
