PList Data Typing

Hi All, I'm needing to read in a PList, that others have designed, I have no control over the input. One of the Keys stores either a String, Number or Boolean value. Checking for the NSString is straight forward. How can I tell if the Value is a Boolean or Number in the NSDictionary? as 0 and

Hi all, I’m sure I’m either way wrong or almost right. I have a NSDocument subclass that autosaves, saves, reads and automatically opens its opened docs on launch. When I go into Revert then are versions waiting to revert, when I choose one it appears to Revert, but the currently opened Documen

Hi Josh, So you are not getting a parsing error, you're using the wrong mechanism. By calling abort you are setting the parsers error code, that code has nothing to do with the fact you are parsing some XML with "error" in it. I think you are confusing a Parsing Error and a valid XML stream wit

NSXMLParserDelegateAbortedParseError

Hi Josh, I'm not sure that is the best place to be checking for a server/network error. If there was an API error, I would have thought the server would have returned valid XML with the error details, which should parse and not cause an parser error. I'd look at downloading the file, determine

Hi Guys, I've been using Retain/Release up til now but I have started my first GC project. In a Garbage Collected App when using the @property is it correct that I still have to specify (copy) or (retain) or have I missed something? I thought using GC didn't require retain and that everything
