Now that we’re all beta testing, we’ll hopefully get some crash logs from testers. But you’ll quickly realize that these crash logs don’t look as good as they do when you pull them off the device with Xcode’s Organizer: there are no symbols and fricken’ useless because you can’t tell where the code is crashing.

First off, thanks to everyone for the kind words about the new version of Twitterrific. It’s really great to get all this awesome feedback! Don’t forget to post a review on iTunes: we want as many stars as possible :-)
As with any first software release, there are a few known issues:
After you upload a picture […]
Wow.
There’s no denying the physical beauty of the award or the cool prizes that accompany it. But in this “day after” the thing that I’m finding most rewarding is the outpouring of support and congratulations. The six weeks of eating, sleeping, and breathing [REDACTED] preceded by months of digging through class-dump and respondsToSelector output was […]
In this election year, there is an issue facing Macintosh developers. Ask yourself the following:
How can you develop new products for Leopard when you need to have Tiger installed for supporting your legacy applications? How easy is it to test a new feature on Mac OS X 10.4.11 when you’re running 10.5? How quickly can […]
Now that I’ve covered some of the technical issues with background processing for iPhone applications, let’s take a look at why it’s a bad idea from the user’s point-of-view.

With the iTunes Store, Apple has partnered with a handful of media companies for recordings and video. And those partners are deathly afraid of online distribution. Developers, on […]
It occurred to me the other day, that the music industry and software developers are beginning to have a lot in common. The proliferation of digital content, both legal and illegal, has radically changed the way people purchase music. But to those of us who have been distributing our work via the Internet since day […]
It’s been rather quiet around here for the past couple of weeks. This is why:
After I get back from a much needed break, I’ll get an alpha release ready. In the meantime, use the source, Luke.
Update: If you haven’t figured it out by now, we’re holding off on future development until Apple releases the SDK […]
One of the great things about my job is that I get to work with some very creative people. Both inside our organization and with our partners.
We’ve had a great relationship with Panic since the early days of both our companies. So when Cabel showed us some early screen mock-ups of their new web development […]
Now that I’m writing in public again, I’m reminded of a simple trick I learned while working with professional writers: read whatever you write out loud. Your ears are much better than your eyes when it comes to finding problems with flow and poor sentence construction.
