Mapping APIs for use in Cocoa app

Hi, I'm building a Mac / iPad app that displays simple maps to the user (map with location pin, allowing the user to pan and zoom). This is pretty easy to do with Google Maps, but AFAIK the API Ts&Cs prevent use in a commercial application unless a Google Premier API licence is purchased (£Ks)

What causes NSFileManager's stringWithFileSystemRepresentation to return nil?

Hi all. I'm giving this function what appears to be a perfectly good path: /Users/me/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Applications/58BD5465-FD47-49E3-83AC-242961559F48/Library/Caches/4320_th.jpg and it returns nil. If I call UIImage's imageWithContentsOfFile with the same path,

Re: What causes NSFileManager's stringWithFileSystemRepresentation to return nil?

Docs say: "Use this method if your code receives paths as C strings from system routines." Is that the case? If you're just building this string yourself, you can do so directly using NSString methods and this method isn't needed. However, NSURL is the up-and-coming way to represent paths anyw

Choosing a correct font size when resizing

Hi, I have a specific layout that has known font sizes for certain page dimensions. I need to take that layout and resize it to fit it in multiple different places in my app. I can't just apply that resize ratio to the fonts, it just does not work. Is there a known way in cocoa to figure out th

Re: Mapping APIs for use in Cocoa app

Can you show where in the iOS API agreement this is stated? There would be many apps that violate it by using MapKit, I would think, if that is the case. While certain activities (e.g. geocoding and route finding) have special restrictions, the controlling section would appear to be 10.4: "Exc

Re: Choosing a correct font size when resizing

For iOS what I do is use sizeWithFont:minFontSize:actualFontSize:forWidth: on NSString. What it does is gives you a font size that will fit the entire string within the width you specify given some constraints such as a minimum font size. Jason On 26 Oct 2010, at 15:29, Alexander Cohen wrote:

Hi, Since my original posting I have found (as you note) that there are two sets of Ts&Cs: one for (iPhone / Map Kit) and one for other apps. The restrictions appear different, and so I have emailed the Google Premier API team for guidance. My interpretation of the terms for non-iphone apps

Make NSTextField register changes immediately
