Its the first time when I work with voice over on objective c. i'm trying to make some simple app for blind community.
tell me necessary classes and methods to work with voice?
what should my application to except play and pause voice?
please show me main protocols and methods with examples.
Full tutorial will be appreciated :-)
video will be perfect
You just need to make the elements in your app accessible in the accessibility tree. By default they are all set to YES, so all the elements are ready by voice over. You don't have to write any code for that.
However you need to write code to post accessibility notifications, and to make some elements not read by voice over.
You can change the voice over settings in the device accessibility settings.
Please read the Apple's Documentation regarding the UIAccessibility.

I am making a tweak for iOS 7, in which I want to know about app launch event, and the details of app being launched (name and identifier). So far the only useful framework I have found is SpringBoardServices.framework. The header files which may be/are useful to track app launch event include:
SBAppLaunchUtilities.h
SBLaunchAppListener.h
If I am on right track, can anyone provide me information about their methods usage? There is no relevant information or guide present on iphonedevwiki.
Moreover, How can I get information about app launched? I have studied Andy ibanez's tutorial. It hooks SBApplicationIcon class, which I guess has been removed from iOS 7 frameworks because I can't find it in dumped frameworks. So what is alternate header? Is it SBSCardItem.h and SBSCardItemsController ?
Looking forward for help. Thanks.
You need to look into SpringBoard.app instead of SpringBoardServices.framework. SpringBoard app comes "alone" because like it's extension implies, it's an app, and not a framework that can be found in the entire Private Frameworks.
You can get a lot of info from the SBApplicationIcon class in SpringBoard, such as the app display name and things like that. Check the headers for more info.
I am currently trying to find the most efficient way to continue a method in the background of my app.
I am probably adding location/gps to my app soon, so I was considering using that flag to keep the app Active in the background. However, I do not want to add that flag yet because I want to post an App Update before I add the location functionality.
I know the exceptions;
Apps that play audible content to the user while in the background, such as a music player app
Apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
Apps that support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Newsstand apps that need to download and process new content
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
Besides asking for a more generic idea then these ^, can someone explain the "external accessory" flag please? I am recording video from an outside device. However, I do not know what constitutes an "external accessory".
I also see that iOS7 has introduced new Multi-tasking functionality but I haven't seen any examples that I understand can someone also explain that? Maybe that is a viable solution?
Thanks in advance!
I need to build an app such as "Messages" in iPhone, but easier (don't need to send messages to server, only in datebase). I was faced with some questions.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-ioschat/index.html
In this tutorial messages look like TableView, how can I do them such as in iPhone standard messanger (comics speach). And how can I implement bar with camera button, text box and send button (what class is responsible for this)?
You are in luck good sir, there is already a class that can fix you up with this and avoid all the work, it's called AcaniChat (screenshot provided). Or you can even see at Sam Soffle's SSMessagesViewController, he is a well known iOS developer who built this class.
It will definitely help you, if you want to mimic that behavior.
Is there any way in which the usage of the camera of the iPad2 can be restricted only to my application? even if it is using i tunes.
could not find any code related to it. some code would be helpful.
There's no way to achieve this. I think it could be done with quite a bunch of hacking if you were developing for Cydia, but I'm not sure ever then. If the user quits your application or switches from it, the system will make the camera available to any other app requesting it.
I'm looking for an equivalent of Mechanize (Ruby/python and more) for iOS.
I need to simulate a click in a webpage (form submission) and get the response back. I tried to construct a POST-request using ASIHTTPRequest without succes. I was able to create a solution in Ruby (with Mechanize) but I want to be able to do the same in objective-c for iphone development. Any suggestions ?
As described in the duplicated posts, the API to programmatically simulate touches is private, so not appropriate for a shipping app. Follow the links if you want to know how to do it anyway.
