Comment on Applying Tint to Bars by Greg

Awsome app …. any chance you could add support for Three20 controls like TTTabBar which use tints as well but not exactly the same as the controls on your app?

Thanks

Greg

I think in app purchase is an interesting feature, but i´m planning to use it differently.

Comment on Do you have a space in your app name? by BigSprocket

App naming in general is tricky. The app name you want might already be taken by someone, or it might not show properly on the Springboard without an ellipsis. What I tend to do is name the project after something meaningless. A code name, like Apple’s “Leopard” or Microsoft’s “Chicago”. And, to your point, without a space. To determine what to display on Springboard, the iPhone will look at the CFBundleDisplayName property in your plist. So, at the last minute, you can determine if your desired name is available (when you create it in iTunes Connect), and if not, you can make a simple change there (and possibly your load/splash page) and you’re done. Anywhere else in your app where you need to know the name, it’s easy for you to read CFBundleDisplayName too, using
[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@”CFBundleDisplayName”]

Comment on Tic Tac Toe in Cocos2D by bigsprocket

It sounds like you’re missing the declaration for TouchableColorLayer, which is defined in the 2nd and 3rd code blocks on this page. Then, in Board.h, make sure you’re importing TouchableColorLayer.h

BTW, they have recently released an update to Cocos2d… there will be some changes required to get this sample to run on v0.8, which are outlined in my latest post.

Thanks for this sample. However I run into a problem which I cant figure out. When building I get this error :

“.objc_class_name_TouchableColorLayer”, referenced from:
.objc_class_name_Square in Board.o
.objc_class_name_PlayAgainLayer in PlayAgainLayer.o
symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Anything I am missing ????

GSS 1.2 is now available from the store. I don’t think Apple’s auto-update thing worked properly because they deactivated the app for a few days, but a search for the app should allow you to re-download it for free. Enjoy!

Thanks! So far, no word from Apple. It’s been submitted now for 10 days. Hopefully you’ll have a working version soon!

I hope you are able to work this out – I quite like this program and am disappointed it has stopped working now that I have upgraded to 3.0 Thank you for your hard work
