Re: Adding a GPS to a Mac for Core Location?

I'm interested in the answer, too. In the meantime, note that Core Location makes good use of wi-fi data if you are in a heavy-duty wi-fi area. My free Lucubrator application for the Mac uses Core Location for its wi-fi capability, and around the

Your video won’t play on my phone. But honestly, if you’re not doing anything particularly advanced (as in the OpenGL or CGDirectDisplay level), then the symptoms you describe should not appear and you ought to file a bug. You might consider simply attaching your current project (along with scr

OS X MapKit issues

I've built the beginnings of a simple OS X app that will display some stuff on a map. Although the Map View I put in the window is displaying a map, and is set to show the user location, and the app asked for permission and I clicked "OK," it's not actually displaying the location. I'm also usi

Re: OS X MapKit issues

Yup, went through all that when I first tried to launch it. Using Xcode 6, it was fairly trivial, although I did have some issues with the automatic provisioning profile, but when I picked my Mac Team profile, it seemed to proceed without complaint. On Sep 17, 2014, at 15:35 , Stephane Sudre w

Re: Doc links broken

Yeah, i barked about it today on the Xcode list. What is insanely stupid is that in Xcode 5, the docs are already downloaded into the app, but Xcode 5 has to check the internet for the docs by using the link. This breaks the docs. So, searching any of the docs fails from within the app that y

Re: Doc links broken

it gets worse. When you download Xcode 6.anything and update the docs it downloads iOS8 and OSX 10, appears to delete the old docsets, and the package receipts it writes in the library are (to my view) incorrectly named as com.apple.pkg.7.0.iOSDocset.plist and com.apple.pkg.10.9.OSXDocset.plist

Document Packages

I know this is a stupid question that’s probably been asked many times before, but I don’t find a way to search the cocoa-dev list to look for it. For several evenings I’ve been struggling to learn how to write my document’s data out as an NSFileWrapper directory containing a group of RTF file
