Written by Last year I did a series of posts here where I ran through problems I had encountered with Core Data’s iCloud integration, with various solutions and workarounds I had been able to devise. Then iOS 7 and Mac OS X 10.9 came out with numerous visible (and internal) updates and people started asking me, so, […]

Andrew: Hey there Freedom Fighters, my name is Andrew Warner, I’m the founder of Mixergy.com, home of the Ambitious Upstart. And here at the home of the Ambitious Upstart, I believe that there are two kinds of entrepreneurs: those who deal with inner doubt, and those who lie to themselves and pretend that they […]
With rumors swirling about a bigger iPhone 6, I figured I’d touch on them (haha, puns). A few years ago, I thought the idea of a larger iPhone would be something I disliked. With my small-ish hands, even the iPhone 5’s 4 inch screen is too large for me to reach the back button in […]
I’ve been doing Objective-C for almost 5 years (woo!), so at this point I think I have a better understanding than most of Apple’s motivations and intentions, with relation to building the language. That said, recently I’ve been loving working with Go, and there’s a few reasons for that. Not traditionally object-oriented With the rise […]
If you’re writing an iOS app and you need to know the user’s current location, the answer is straightforward: use Core Location. That fires up device GPS (when available). Apple’s A-GPS combines this with things like local Wifi networks and IP addresses to work out the device’s location. All of this, of course, assuming that […]
Over at the Big Nerd Ranch blog, my friend Mark Dalrymple continues his “Inside the Bracket” series with an article on practical uses of Objective-C’s run time introspection. Last time you saw the parts of the Objective-C runtime API that let you query a bunch of the metadata the compiler keeps around once it’s done […]
This week was DBX, Dropbox’s first ever developer conference. The big news as far as I’m concerned is their new Datastore API. In a break from their file-oriented past, Dropbox now has an API for syncing structured data between devices. I’ve long been a happy Dropbox user and I’ve lately been a frustrated iCloud developer.

Learning iPad Programming, 2nd edition, by the excellent Kirby Turner and myself, is finally available. This project has been in the works for a while and now it’s finally actually shipping and in print and stuff instead of just being preorderable. If you order now you can probably have your copy before I get mine. […]
In this latest installment of my iCloud series I’ll be taking a look at real world iCloud. Not in the sense of how you should write code to make effective use of iCloud, but in the sense of finding out how people are actually using it in real shipping apps. This was one of my […]
