I have an app that that uses the iTunes XML file to access the local library of songs. With the upgrade to Catalina the only way to do this is to manually generate the XML file, which is something I'd rather not ask of my users.
I did think of trying to see if the iTunesLibrary framework still works, but on my 2 Macs with Catalina installed the framework no longer contains the header files.
I've scoured the internet but found nothing that that will fix this. Any ideas?
As it turns out the instructions in the MacOS Developer documentation were wrong. In Catalina the framework is included standard and not in a separate folder, so it's easy to just include the framework and build

I have a bunch of applications that run fine using node-webkit on Macs and Windows.
(They mostly live on shared Dropbox folders. They read and write to data files in the folder).
I gather node-webkit will not run on Mac Catalina.
So I am trying to figure out how to install and use nw.js
I need the Mac and Win versions of the app to be in the same directory. Multiple users will run their local Dropbox version of the app, and read/write to the shared data folders.
I cannot figure out how to get convert the app from node-webkit to nw.js
I've been unable to find an "idiot's guide" to this.
Any suggestions, or pointers to resources, would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance.
And apologies for posting what is probably a dumb question for most users of this site....
You have to run your app's old source code (node-webkit) with NW.js and fix all the exceptions thrown. You can find the migration guide here.
I recently finished an application based on Titanium, Javascript, HTML, CSS. I have only been a web designer to date so I have little experience in distributing applications. I was accustomed to the TiDev Community deploying app, which prepared the app for download and made it available for download at a given link.
But tidev community is no longer supported, so I use TideSDK Developer to package the app, which doesnt do all the hard work the other one did so nicely.
I am obviously a complete rookie to this.
Could anyone outline the steps I would need to take to go from the bundled application folder I have now (put together by TideSDK Developer), to a link that will allow customers to download and install the app or online? I know there is an issue with packaoging the app for platforms other than your own, and that appcelerator is working on a solution to this I think. I also realise I would probably have to pay to host the download online. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
You must use the tidebuilder.py script. to compile a installation package. To compile a binary for a Mac, you must run the script on a Mac, to compile a binary for windows, you must be on a windows box etc.
There is some documentation on how to use it here per platform. The command is very simple and works.
Once you have your application file (DMG for OSX or a MSI for Windows) then just distribute it however you see fit, email, putting it on your web server, whatever works for you.
I read a tutorial on how to do that in LINUX, but it looks like this cant be ported to windows so easily. SALOME gives us a development environment for windows and claims its crossplattform:
http://www.salome-platform.org/downloads/current-version
But the documentation does not specify the module creation process in windows (the documentation is only downloadable so i cant link it). To follow the LINUX tutorial, one has to find and edit several files that are missing in the windows distribution. Mainly these are files that are used in the make process of the linux salome module creation.
I hope anyone has some experience in this field.
SALOME doesn't support Windows currently, as the 3rd parties dependencies.

I want to implement in my Mac application the google API for uploading file on Gdocs, sadly I discovered that Google api for Objective-C are still in 32bit while my app is in 64bit with the new ARC support.
So before converting my app to 32bit I tried to build the google api in 64bit, I downloaded the .diff patch found here:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client/issues/detail?id=30
and applied it.
Then I tried to rebuild the Google api in 64bit and it succeded (before there were errors), so I copied the Gdata framework in my project and I was able to build it without errors.
BUT, when I click play this is the error I retrieve:
dyld: Library not loaded: #loader_path/../Frameworks/GData.framework/Versions/A/GData
Referenced from: /Users/Xeo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GdocSync-fpcfhxbalzflkxdigudsndijtiol/Build/Products/Debug/GdocSync.app/Contents/MacOS/GdocSync
Reason: image not found
The framework is linked, I set it in the frameworks to link, soI don't really know how to do this, I would like to waste another bit of time before converting the app to 32bit!
EDIT: i was able to build it under xcode 4 with arc support only adding the sources into my app and building directly from there as explained in the google wiki.
No luck with the framework!
Try deleting the derived data from your app in the Xcode 4 organizer, give the target a good scrubbing and build again.
As per the instructions here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/CoreAudioOverview/WhatisCoreAudio/WhatisCoreAudio.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003577-CH3-SW1
It says:
The Core Audio SDK assumes you will use Xcode as your development environment.
You can download the latest SDK from http://developer.apple.com/sdk/. After installation, the SDK files are located in /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio.
I looked at all the SDKs and did a search for Core audio. Nothing shows up. Does anyone know where I can find the Core Audio SDKs?
The Core Audio framework is just a standard framework in /System/Library/Frameworks, so you already have the headers and libraries. The additional SDK stuff is now installed as part of the Xcode 4 installation - you'll find it at /Developer/Extras/CoreAudio after installing Xcode 4.
The document you referred to is kinda old (written in 2007) and you've discovered that Apple isn't always super good at updating their documentation.
The Core Audio SDK has been folded into the SDK's for MacOS and iOS.
At least one of sample programs referenced on the instruction page, PlaySequence, can be downloaded as sample code from Apple's developer website. I'm not sure what happened to PlayFile.
It seems the CoreAudio SDK was renamed Core Audio Utility Classes, and can be found there:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/CoreAudioUtilityClasses/Introduction/Intro.html
The documentation is out of date. Core Audio SDK is included with current Xcode 4.2. You need to link to it like this:
and of course include its header file.
