../Art/status_yellow.pngWaiting For ReviewAppears after you submit a new app or update and before the app is reviewed by Apple.

  • Edit certain app information
X

../Art/status_red.pngRemoved From SaleAppears when your app has been removed from the App Store.
../Art/status_red.pngDeveloper RejectedAppears when you’ve rejected the binary from the review process. Choosing the Developer Rejected status removes your app from the review queue. After you resubmit your binary, the app review process starts over from the beginning.X

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.

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.
