With the new iOS Data Storage Guidelines that arrived with iCloud and iOS 5, it’s muy importante to pay attention to where you place any preloaded data and file caches. The Documents directory is now only for data that’s been initialized by the user, an important distinction.
I first became an Apple fanboy at the age of 12 when I saw a Nirvana b-sides album in a promotional photo for a Macintosh in the Apple catalog. Microsoft wasn’t cool enough to know about good music, and had never done anything like that at the time. From that moment on I was a huge fan of this computer company that was also hip, understood youth, and seemed to be so much further ahead of everyone else in the nerdy realm of personal computing.
If you’ve set up your application to handle tasks asynchronously using the NSOperationQueue approach, be wary of the maxConcurrentOperationCount property for your queues. I had been having first load performance issues with an app that has to download a good bit of data on first start.
Since GitHub released their amazing and fantastic new GUI tool for Mac today I thought I’d write a post about an open source project I’ve published there.
It’s called iTunes Connect Manager, and it was designed to be a simple drop-in addition to any iOS project that needs to use iTunes Connect to handle In-App Purchases and/or Subscriptions.
