Why doesn't text field appear in UIAlertViews in iOS 7? - ios7

Lately I've noticed that in every app that has a specific text field, say to rename or add a file/folder on one of those code editor apps, the text field fails to show up.
I've tried two different code editors "JSany" and "Html Writer" (Free & Paid), both had the same problem (see below). Also, I checked both apps on my iPod (running iOS6) and this time the text fields appeared.

Could anyone tell me if this is being fixed?

Converting link-like texts to links

I just noticed some very strange behaviour in my pdf.
I have a link in there (just pure text!) "www.example.com".
Now when I view this in my reader (Sumatra & Adobe) this link has a "hand" icon and I'm able to click on it. Even though I just put it as real text in there.
So I converted it to PS (pdftops ), found the text (\000w\000w\000w etc), and just changed the first "W" to "A".
Then I convert it via ps2pdf back into a PDF file, and wonder... No link anymore. (it shows now aww.example.com).
So, back to the ps file, I change the a again to w, and re-convert.
Suddenly the link is there again.
Because of this I'm pretty certain this is some feature with the reader that it's being too smart for its own good.
Which brings me to my question: how can I turn this off? Is there any comment/setting I can give which would disable this behaviour for that specific PDF file?
[the problem is that the reader is just adding "http://" in front of it to create the link, and when clicking, my reader warns me that the link is not safe. Talking about insults and injuries!]
Thanks!

issues to upload 5.5inch screen in iTunes connect to publish app

We are having issues uploading the screenshots for the iPhone 5.5-Inch display (can’t “choose file”), even though we have screenshots 1242x2208.
There is no option shown to add iPhone 5.5-Inch display to add in iTunes connect to publish the app.
And this app is available in two languages -- English and chinese to upload screen shot. When we select chinese option to upload screen, there is no option to add for 5.5 inch display.
When I update the version of my App, also encountered the same situation. After trying various methods, the solution is found.
upload a screenshot of the non-primary language,
change the primary language,
modify the non-primary language screenshot,
change back the primary language.
Yeah Succeed!!!

Print preview of my web page to pdf and save it on server side programmatically

I have a deceitfully difficult problem which I had thought it was easy one at the beginning and yet I have spent more than 3 days on and off in total.
what I simply need to do is to save the print preview of the page to PDF file on server side from code behind initiating by a button click.
I was expecting using an open source and then I thought there would be a code like xyzopencode.savepasgeaspdf(path) but I could not find it. I got really close to solution by saving the PDF but then I realized it did not save the picture it only saved the strings.
I tried the pdfsharp but as long as I see it draws the whole thing from scratch and I am nor sure if I can do it.
The reason I need picture compatible one is I have 3rd party signature controller on my page and my couple of attempts worked without them or any picture but when I added pictures they failed to show to picture or did not create the PDF at all. The perfect solution would be just saving what ever shows up in the print preview as PDF, just like the built in feature of Google chrome (but on server side).

How to show document preview in iCloud conflicts sheet in Mac App using NSDocument

I am creating a Mac App, using NSDocument, that stores a custom class of documents to iCloud.
I was able to get the program to store documents to iCloud quite easily by just Code Signing it, Sandboxing it, and adding iCloud entitlements; however, I'm still encountering a problem where when I trigger an iCloud conflict and the program drops down the sheet allowing the user to resolve the conflict the rows in the sheet do not show the small image of the document (like Preview and TextEdit do).
Additionally, when I click on the area where the image should be (it's blank) it opens up a Quick Look window that just displays an image of the Document Icon together with some other information as opposed to a snap shot of the actual file like Preview and TextEdit do.
I have not found any information in Apple's documentation that explains what I need to do to implement the same behaviour as Preview and TextEdit.
So far I've been surprised by how easily I've been able to get all of the functionability of not only the Auto Saves and the Versions browser, but also saving to the Cloud. NSDocument seems to do all of this for the developer (resolving iCloud Conflicts, etc.), as Apple's documents says it does, but again I'm not getting this other behaviour and I don't want to reinvent the wheel by writing code that is not needed.
I'm thinking that the answer might lie somewhere with implementing a Quick Look thumbnail (for the small image in the table in the sheet) and a Quick Look preview for the larger preview of the document when that in the sheet is clicked on, but this seems like a lot of work and I'm afraid of losing some of the other build-in functions of NSDocument if I start "trapping" NSDocument routines up the food chain so to speak.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and found the easiest solution?
Update: Dec. 25/12
I've finally figured out that the problem is I need a QuickLook generator to display both a QL Thumbnail (which shows up in the table in the conflicts sheet) and a QL Preview (which is displayed when a user clicks on the Thumbnail)
I ended up creating the QL generator project, and afterwards creating a workspace which I added my main project and the QL generator project to. After that I added a Copy Files Build Phase to the main project to copy the QL generator into the main Application bundle.

iTunes Connect sends email about a issue with icon file, how to fix?

This is the email:
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent binary submission for "Bla". Before your app can be reviewed, the following issues must be corrected:
Corrupt Icon File - The icon file 72 x 72.png appears to be corrupt.
Once these issues have been corrected , go to the Version Details page and click Ready to Upload Binary. Continue through the submission process until the app status is Waiting for Upload and then use Application Loader to upload the corrected binary.
I have change the file and re-upload the app, but I got the email again.
As Michael Dautermanm says.
Make sure "compress png's" is turned off in the build settings.
thanks
Can you open the file in Preview, and choose 'Tools' -> 'Show Inspector'? The file may be using some PNG format features that Apple don't like. They want RGB, 8 bit depth, no alpha. See the Custom Icon and Image Creation Guidelines.
For comparison, here are screenshots of the Preview Inspector, showing properties of an icon for an app that was accepted. If you're unsure, post similar screenshots for the properties of your picture.
The "Pixels Per Meter" part may or may not appear. It wasn't there when I first opened some icon files five minutes ago, and now it appears for every PNG I open. Weird.
Edit: also check the icon entries in your 'Info.plist', or the 'Info' tab for your Target. (These are not the same thing, as I just spent several hours discovering. Settings in the 'Info' tab override your 'Info.plist'.) As of the iOS 5.1 SDK, these include Icon file (a string), Icon files (an array), and Icon files (iOS 5) (a dictionary containing at least one dictionary containing an array). XCode seems to add your launch images to this list too. Don't rely on it to keep the list tidy - I have sometimes found outdated filenames in mine.
For further comparison, here's what ended up in the Info.plist of a valid app. Your filenames may be different, as long as they match the resources in your project.
I'm the developer of the app Pillboxie. I have been having the same issue as you, but I believe I may have finally found a solution.
Before proceeding with my suggestion, make sure that your Info.plist and all icon filenames appear exactly as Apple requires. Keep checking the documentation to make sure you're up-to-date, but Dondragmer's recommendation looks correct to me.
I created all my image resources, including app icons, in Photoshop, exporting for web as PNG-24's. Because Pillboxie has numerous images, setting "Compress png's" to YES in the build settings helps me save several megabytes of space. I was getting the same error as you until I tried turning off this compression, as Evaristoyok suggests. However, my app jumped up several mb. I hoped to find a better way.
Tonight I found the following link: article. In it the author suggests to make sure that "Interlaced" is NOT selected in Photoshop when exporting images in the Save For Web & Devices dialog window. I re-exported all icon and launch images with this disabled, and it solved my issue. I was able to submit my app and still leave png compression enabled.
