Crawling a Little Closer on the iPhone SDK

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

My id for logging in to Apple’s developer web site is different than the id I normally log in to my MacBook with. I was wondering if this was the reason that I could not download the items I subscribed to in the Help program in XCode.

So, I created a user on my MacBook with the same user name and signed in as that and fired up XCode. Next, I brought up the Help, subscribed to the items  that I wanted, and, bingo! Those items loaded!

When I tried to compile to the actual iPhone device (as opposed to the simulator), I still get an error… though it is a different error  now.

Rats! I went to try it again and I get yet another error: “No Device is Connected” This is in spite of the fact that I can bring up iTunes and it shows that it is connected!

Oh, and in the Organizer, it shows my iPhone. Go figure! It is all too clear that I am still missing some of the pieces of the puzzle.

Apple’s Developer Site Down

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Due to a frantic, graspy rush to get their greasy hands on the iPhone SDK, the Apple Developer web site not only is slow, now instead of just error messages, the whole server is down. I guess that’s a good problem.

There is that pent up desire out there. Something for Apple to brag about!
