Apple Disabling iOS 5 Beta Installs and Developer Accounts Over Sales of Device Slots?

Since late yesterday, MacRumors has received a few reports of users who have seen their devices running various beta versions of iOS 5 shutting down and returning to activation mode. The reports have been sporadic, with some users suggesting that earlier beta versions may simply have been expiring and been disabled by Apple.

Automating Over The Air Deployment for iOS

Over the air deployment is based on a new command in the build menu of Xcode called “build and archive” which packages the application with an embedded provisioning profile. There have been many questions on how to integrate this feature in a continuous integration process. The “xcodebuild” command is well known : it builds an Xcode project from the command line and generates an “.app” file. You can use this command to build your application from a script ran by a software factory. But the generated file cannot be distributed over the air since it misses the embedded provisioning profile. We need to build the project into an “.ipa” file, containing the provisioning profile and signed with your developper identity. To be able to find the command line, the trick was to watch the system console log while running a “build and archive” through Xcode. #!/bin/sh # build.sh # # Created by Vincent Daubry on 19/01/10. # Copyright 2010 OCTO.

JSLint

Many JavaScript implementations do not warn against questionable coding practices. Yes, that's nice for the site that "works best with Internet Explorer" (designed with templates, scripted with snippets copied from forums). But it's a nightmare when you actually want to write quality, maintainable code. That's where JavaScript Lint comes in. With JavaScript Lint, you can check all your JavaScript source code for common mistakes without actually running the script or opening the web page. JavaScript Lint holds an advantage over competing lints because it is based on the JavaScript engine for the Firefox browser. This provides a robust framework that can not only check JavaScript syntax but also examine the coding techniques used in the script and warn against questionable practices.
