Develop and Tip

In a market flogged with social networking apps, Video chat is a killer weapon that you can wield to ace your rivals on the App store in one go. According to study, 93% of human interactions happen through visual interface.

What the hack. Need to chat face-to-face doesn’t need statistical justification. But how do they work? The question is more of design than of technical implementation in a world full of third parties. If you are scared of the word mammoth, you need to live with it because that’s the name of beast we are dealing with.

"The Square Engineering Blog has a great article on Smoother Signatures for Android, but I didn't find anything specifically about iOS. So, what is the best way to capture a users signature on an iOS device?

Although I didn't find any articles on signature capture, there are good implementations on the App Store. My target user experience was the iPad application Paper by 53, a drawing application with beautiful and responsive brushes.

All code is available in the Github repository: SignatureDemo."

"Segues make it easy to abstract view controller transitions into reusable objects. Instead of having all the animation logic in your view controller the segue is now responsible for that. The view controller its role is reduced to configuring the segue and view controllers involved in the transition."

MKNetworkEngine makes it a breeze to add this feature into your app. What not? With MKNetworkKit, you will even know if the response image is from cache or loaded for the first time. Using this information, you can “fade in” your thumbnails when you load the images for the first time

Harpy is a utility that checks a user's currently installed version of your iOS application against the version that is currently available in the AppStore. If a new version is available, an instance of UIAlertView is presented to the user informing them of the newer version, and giving them the option to update the application.

Whether you are trying to figure out why your array has 3 objects instead of 5 or why your game plays backward since the new guy started, debugging is an essential part of the development process. At the end of this article, you’ll have an understanding of the most important debugging facilities available to you and how to use them to help squash your bugs in less time.We will be covering how to:Inspect your applications state using the consolePerform logging, and move beyond NSLogTrack memory usage by following object life-cycles

For an interactive drawing project I worked on recently I needed to provide the ability for users to email their artwork directly from the app without the need to save any images to a server.

This tutorial is on adding an intro view to your app. In this instance we’ll be adding it to a tab bar app. This is not the use of a splash view
