I need to update my app and make it look good on the iphone X. I've seen a couple of answers on stackoverflow and on the internet regarding the new safe area option (Use Safe Area Layout Guides).
According to what I've read the app should adapt automatically using autolayout as well but what I've got is this:
If I start a new project it all works fine. The project is quite big, so starting all over again is not an option. What should I do?
Thanks
I just had the same problem, and in my case, the problem was that my app didn't have a Launch Screen.storyboard, it was using a image as launcher. So adding a new Launch Screen.storyboard and selecting that one fixed it, maybe the rest of the app takes some settings from that Launch Screen.storyboard
I am new in Xcode and IOS development.
i have designed and finished my app and i connected with Parse for push notification and core data.
the problem is what i didn't understand is: if in future i want to change the background of my app or add new event or to change the palace of button my app, how can i do that? i have to rebuild and submit it again or there is any way to do by online a website like parse?
i couldn't find the answer any where, help please...
Thanks ,
If you had designed your app to load the background data from Parse, then you could just put the new background on Parse and your app would load it. There is no need to submit a new app to do that. If you did it this way, you'd want to have a default background in the case when the network is not available.
You can't add new code to your application with this method (that is not allowed), but you can add data such as images, text, etc. The key point here is that you have to design your app from the start to work this way, then it is simply a matter of putting the new data on Parse where your app can find it.
Expanding on #vacawama's very good answer:
For this version you are out of luck, since it sounds like you did not design it to use a background that is loaded from your Parse server.
What you need to do is to code an update to your app that has these new abilities, and submit that to the app store. Once that version is approved then you should be able to change the background from the server.
I have been using Titanium for years now using Classic (even before Titanium was using eclipse or commonjs was a thing).
I am making the switch to try an app in Alloy and so far it isn't too difficult to grasp.
One thing I cannot figure out is I am not able to rename the very first view (and controller/model files) to anything other than index
I want my first view named login since my first screen will be a login screen.
I renamed the XML, TSS and JS file all to login.* and I get an error say no file called index was found.
I've searched and cannot find anything that answers this.
You can not change the name of the first view. The index controller will be fired first, you can open from there the login screen.
I'm having all kinds of fun and games with trying to get launch images to appear in Xcode5/iOS7.
I'm using the Sparrow framework but this is an issue I think just to do with XCode5/iOS7.
I don't seem to be able to get Default-568h#2x.png to appear. I can get Default#2x.png to appear but not the 568 version. I Add the 568h file to the assets folder (in system), I then go into the general tab and click on the little folder icon and add it in, and it appears when I click the eye icon. And there is an entry in the UILaunchImages object for it with the launch name being correct "Default-568h". When I run the 4 inch simulator it's just a black/blank screen on loading.
The only thing I can think of is that the other UILaunchImages objects are somehow linked? and that it just takes 1 default name and runs with it so to speak? but then that means you just have to name everything the same name, but with different resolutions??
Update
Been reading this...
Launch Images in iOS 7 with Xcode 5
Looks like there are issues with using launch images. Going to try to use an Asset Catalogue.
Update 2
So far using the Asset Catelogue is not work for 568. Still works fine for 640x960, but even though I've dragged in the Default-568h#2x.png into the R4 slot, when I run the iPhone 5 sim, nothing is showing.
I'm using OSX's Notification Center APIs for the first time and can't seem to figure out how to make my app's icon to show up in the Notification badge.
The default "your app doesn't have an icon" icon keeps showing up:
Here's what I've done so far
I have created an icns file that includes 512, 256, 128, 32 & 16px versions
dragged the icon into the "App Icon" section of the target's summary
I made to sure to check the box to copy the icon into the project
the plist's "Icon file" section references the correct icon name (minus the .icns) part
Any ideas? The icon doesn't show up when I run the app thru Xcode or when I export an archive either.
I also have extracted the Sparrow.icns file from Sparrow.app and tried using that one instead of the one I made. That didn't work either.
I was able to fix this issue by incrementing the Build number in the General section for the build Target.
You can force the Notification Center to refresh all of the icons by deleting the Notification Center database file (~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter/SOME_UUID.db) and then killing the Notification Center process (e.g., from Activity Monitor).
Unfortunately this has the side effect of deleting your notification history, but this wasn't too much of an issue for me.
There's actually an ongoing debate on Apple's developer forums (link, link for people with access) about this. As far as I know, there's currently no real solution, but you can try the following:
Change your app's bundle ID and try it again. If you change it, clean your app, and change back, some people have reported success with seeing their icon show up.
Log in as another user. The caching Notification Center uses may be per-user, so you might be able to get the properly-iconned notifications as a different person.
The folder location has been moved for OSX 10.10+.
Following command takes to you to its new location:
$ cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`/com.apple.notificationcenter/db
and then
$ open .
Easiest way that I managed to get the icon to show up is change the Bundle Identifier in your project. This works on OSX 10.10.5 and XCode 7.2
(Once notification center picks up the change, you can change it back to your original bundle identifier if you already have a provisioning profile associated with it)
I have solved the issue by archiving my app and adding a copy to my applications folder. When the app is in Application folder, the icon is always visible even you run the app from XCode...
I tried all of the above suggestions but the only thing that worked for me on 10.14 was to delete DerivedData:
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
If anyone still having this issue, and none of the methods above worked, here is how I solved it:
open Notifications from the System Preference (easiest is to open Alfred or spotlight and type Notifications)
find your application and remove it (press backspace/delete button)
NOTE: this may remove all notifications
I am using Xcode 11.5 and I had the same problem. In my case tough, it was sufficient to clean build output, close and reopen the project. Then do a fresh build and let it run again. The icon was there afterwards.
Side note: I've placed the app icon for every size in the assets.xcassets file, except 1024 x 1024 pixels. Don't know if this is relevant or not. Hope that helps.
