INTRODUCTION

Introduction

To develop iPhone applications, you use Xcode, Apples first-class integrated development environment (IDE). Xcode provides all the tools you need to design your applications user interface and write the code that brings it to life. As you develop your application, you run it on your computer, an iPhone, or an iPod touch. This document describes the iPhone application development process. It also provides information about becoming a member of the iPhone Developer Program, which is required to run applications on devices for testing. After you finish developing your iPhone application, you submit it to the App Store, the secure marketplace where iPhone OS users obtain their applications. However, you should test your application on a small set of users before publishing it to cover a wide variety of usage patterns and get feedback about your product. This document describes how to create a group of testers for your application and how to distribute it to them. To take advantage of this document, you should be familiar with the iPhone application architecture, described in iPhone Application Programming Guide. You should also be familiar with basic programming concepts. After reading this document, youll have a basic understanding of the iPhone application development process. To enhance that knowledge, you should read the documents listed later in this introduction. Software requirements: This document applies to iPhone SDK 3.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.

Installing the iPhone SDK

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

Developing iPhone applications is a pleasant and rewarding endeavor. To convert your ideas into products you use Xcode, the integrated development environment (IDE) used to develop iPhone applications. With Xcode you organize and edit your source files, view documentation, build your application, debug your code, and optimize your applications performance. Note: To develop iPhone applications, you must an Apple Developer Connection member. To run applications on a device, you must be member of the iPhone Developer Program. For more information, see "Managing Devices" (page 47). This chapter provides an overview of the major development tasks you follow to design, build, and run an application using Xcode. It also includes a quick tutorial that shows how to develop the ubiquitous Hello, World! application for iPhone OS.

Essential Development Tasks

The iPhone-application development process is divided into these major steps: 1. Create your project. Xcode provides several project templates that get you started. You choose the template that implements the type of application you want to develop. See "Creating an iPhone Project" (page 12) for details. 2. Design the user interface. The Interface Builder application lets you design your applications user interface graphically and save those designs as resource files that you load into your application at runtime. If you do not want to use Interface Builder, you can layout your user interface programmatically. See User Interface Design Considerations in iPhone Application Programming Guide for more information. 3. Write code. Xcode provides several features that help you write code fast, including class and data modeling, code completion, direct access to documentation, and refactoring. See "Editing Code" (page 13) for details. 4. Build and run your application. You build your application on your computer and run it in the iPhone Simulator application or on your device. See "Building and Running Your Application" (page 16) for more information. 5. Measure and tune application performance. After you have a running application, you should measure its performance to ensure that it uses a devices resources as efficiently as possible and that it provides adequate responses to the users gestures. See "Measuring Application Performance" (page 17) for more information.

Essential Development Tasks

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

The rest of this section gives more details about these steps.

Creating an iPhone Project

The iPhone SDK provides several project templates to get you up and running developing your application. You can choose from these types of application:

Navigation-Based Application. An application that presents data hierarchically, using multiple screens. The Contacts application is an example of a navigation-based application. OpenGL ES Application. An application that uses an OpenGL ESbased view to present images or animation. Tab Bar Application. An application that presents a radio interface that lets the user choose from several screens. The Clock application is an example of a tab bar application. Utility Application. An application that implements a main view and lets the user access a flipside view to perform simple customizations. The Stocks application is an example of a utility application. View-Based Application. An application that uses a single view to implement its user interface. Window-Based Application. This template serves as a starting point for any application, containing an application delegate and a window. Use this template when you want to implement your own view hierarchy.

If you need to develop a static library for use in an iPhone application, you can add a static library target to your project by choosing Project > New Target and selecting the Static Library target template in the iPhone OS/Cocoa Touch list. Static libraries used in iPhone applications do not need to be code signed. Therefore, you should remove the Code Signing Identity build setting definition from the static library targets you create. To do so: 1. 2. 3. Open the static-library targets Info window and display the Build pane. In the Code Signing group, select the Any iPhone OS Device conditional definition for the Code Signing Identity build setting. Change the conditional definitions value from iPhone Developer to Dont Code Sign.

To learn more about the iPhone application architecture, see iPhone Application Programming Guide. To develop an iPhone application, you work on an Xcode project. And you do most of your work on projects through the project window, which displays and organizes your source files and other resources needed to build your application. This window allows you to access and edit all the pieces of your project. Figure 1-1 shows the project window.

The project window contains the following key areas for navigating your project:

Groups & Files list. Provides an outline view of your project contents. You can move files and folders around and organize your project contents in this list. The current selection in the Groups & Files list controls the contents displayed in the detail view. Detail view. Shows the item or items selected in the Groups & Files list. You can browse your projects contents in the detail view, search them using the search field, or sort them according to column. The detail view helps you rapidly find and access your projects contents. Toolbar. Provides quick access to the most common Xcode commands. Favorites bar. Lets you store and quickly return to commonly accessed locations in your project. The favorites bar is not displayed by default. To display the favorites bar, choose View > Layout > Show Favorites Bar. Status bar. Displays status messages for the project. During an operationsuch as building or indexingXcode displays a progress indicator in the status bar to show the progress of the current task.

To learn more about creating projects, see Creating Projects.

Editing Code
The main tool you use to write your code is the Xcode text editor. This advanced text editor provides several convenient features:

Header-file lookup. By Commanddouble-clicking a symbol, you can view the header file that declares the symbol.

Essential Development Tasks

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

API reference lookup. By Optiondouble-clicking a symbol, you get access to API reference that provides information about the symbols usage. Code completion. As you type code, you can have the editor help out by inserting text for you that completes the name of the symbol Xcode thinks youre going to enter. Xcode does this in an unobtrusive and overridable manner. Code folding. With code folding, you can collapse code that youre not working on and display only the code that requires your attention.

For details about these and other text editor features, see The Text Editor.

Using Code Completion

The text editor helps you type code faster with code completion. When code completion is active, Xcode uses both text you have typed and the context into which you have typed it to provide suggestions for completing the token it thinks you intend to type. Code completion is not active by default. To activate code completion: 1. Open the Xcode Preferences window. Choose Xcode > Preferences. 2. 3. In the Code Completion section of the Code Sense pane, choose Immediate from the Automatically Suggest pop-up menu. Click OK.

As you type the name of a symbol, Xcode recognizes that symbol and offers a suggestion, as shown in Figure 1-2. You can accept suggestions by pressing Tab or Return. You may also display a list of completions by pressing Escape. Figure 1-2 Using code completion

To learn more about code completion, see Completing Code in Xcode Workspace Guide.

Essential Development Tasks

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

Accessing Documentation
During development, you may need fast access to reference for a particular symbol or high-level documentation about API usage or an iPhone OS technology. Xcode gives you easy access to such resources through the Research Assistant and the Documentation window. The Research Assistant is a lightweight window, shown in Figure 1-4 (page 16), that provides a condensed view of the API reference for the selected item, without taking your focus away from the editor in which the item is located. This window provides an unobtrusive way to consult API reference. However, when you need to dig deeper into the reference, the Documentation window is just a click away. The Documentation window (Figure 1-3) lets you browse and search the developer documentation (which includes API reference, guides, and articles about particular tools or technologies) installed on your computer. It provides access to a wider and more detailed view of the documentation than the Research Assistant, for the times when you need additional help. Figure 1-3 Viewing API reference in the Documentation window

To display the API reference for a symbol in a source file, you select the symbol in the text editor and choose Help > Find Selected Text in API Reference (you can also Optiondouble-click the symbol name). This command searches for the selected symbol in the API reference for your projects SDK and displays it in the Documentation window. For example, if you select the UIFont class name in a source file and execute the Find Selected Text in API Reference command, Xcode opens the Documentation window and displays the API reference for the UIFont class.

Essential Development Tasks

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

While the Documentation window is a great tool to browse the iPhone documentation library, sometimes you may not want to take your focus away from the text editor while you write code, but need basic information about a symbol in a condensed way. The Research Assistant provides such information in a small and unobtrusive window. The Research Assistant actively follows you as you move the cursor around a source file. When it recognizes a symbol for which it finds API reference, the Research Assistant displays that reference, as shown in Figure 1-4. All you have to do is glance at the Research Assistant to get essential details about the symbol. To display the Research Assistant, choose Help > Show Research Assistant. Figure 1-4 Viewing API reference in the Research Assistant

From the Research Assistant you can quickly jump to more comprehensive reference for the symbol, or even view the header that declares it. For more information about accessing documentation in Xcode, see Documentation Access.

Building and Running Your Application

iPhone Simulator implements the iPhone OS API, providing an environment that closely resembles the environment devices provide. It allows you to run your applications in Mac OS X, letting you quickly test application functionality when you dont have a device available. However, running applications in iPhone Simulator is not the same as running them in actual devices. iPhone Simulator does not emulate device performance: It doesnt implement the memory constraints or processor performance of an actual device. First, the simulator uses Mac OS X versions of the low-level system frameworks instead of the versions that run on the devices. Secondly, there may be hardware-based functionality thats unavailable on the simulator. But, in general, the simulator is a great tool to perform initial testing of your applications. To get an accurate idea of how your application performs on a users device, you must run the application on a device and gather performance data using Instruments and other performance-measuring tools.

Essential Development Tasks

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

To compile and debug your code, Xcode relies on open-source tools, such as GCC and GDB. Xcode also supports team-based development with source control systems, such as Subversion, CVS, and Perforce. Building your application involves the following steps:

Compiling your source files and generating your application binary. Placing the binary in iPhone Simulator or on your device.

Xcode performs these tasks for you when you execute the Build command. See "Running Applications" (page 31) for details.

Measuring Application Performance

After you have tested your applications functionality, you must ensure that it performs well on a device. This means that the application uses the devices resources as efficiently as possible. For example, memory is a scarce resource; therefore, your application should maintain a small memory footprint not to impair the performance of iPhone OS. Your application should also use efficient algorithms to consume as little power as possible not to reduce battery life. Xcode provides two major tools to measure and tune application performance: Instruments and Shark. The Instruments application is a dynamic performance analysis tool that lets you peer into your code as its running and gather important metrics about what it is doing. You can view and analyze the data Instruments collects in real time, or you can save that data and analyze it later. You can collect data about your applications use of the CPU, memory, the file system, and the network, among other resources. The Shark application is another tool that helps you find performance bottlenecks in your code. It produces profiles of hardware and software performance events and shows how your code works as a whole and its interaction with iPhone OS. See "Tuning Applications" (page 73) for more information.

c. d. 6.

In the File Name text field, enter MyView.m. Select the Also create "MyView.h" option and click Finish.

Choose the active SDK for your project. If you have a development device plugged in at the time you create the project, Xcode sets the active SDK to build for your device. Otherwise, it sets it to build for iPhone Simulator.

Tutorial: Hello, World!

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

Note: To use the iPhone Device SDK you must be a member of the iPhone Developer Program. For more information, see "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47). To set the active SDK, chose an item from the Project > Set Active SDK submenu or the Overview toolbar menu in the project window.

Write the Code

The Xcode text editor is where you spend most of your time. You can write code, build your application, and debug your code. Lets see how Xcode assists you in writing code. To experience the Xcode source-code editing features, you should perform the following instructions to enter the applications source code. For your convenience, "Hello, World! Source Code" (page 85) includes the final source code. First, modify the HelloWorldAppDelegate class to use the MyView class: 1. 2. 3. In the Groups & Files list, select the HelloWorld group. In the detail view, double-click HelloWorldAppDelegate.m. In the HelloWorldAppDelegate editor window: a. Add the following code line below the existing #import line.
#import "MyView.h"

Add the following code lines to the applicationDidFinishLaunching: method, below the override-point comment.
MyView *view = [[MyView alloc] initWithFrame:[window frame]]; [window addSubview:view];

Tutorial: Hello, World!

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

[view release];

After making these changes, the code in the HelloWorldAppDelegate.m file should look like this:
#import "HelloWorldAppDelegate.h" #import "MyView.h" @implementation HelloWorldAppDelegate @synthesize window; - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application { // Override point for customization after app launch MyView *view = [[MyView alloc] initWithFrame:[window frame]]; [window addSubview:view]; [view release]; [window makeKeyAndVisible]; } - (void)dealloc { [window release]; [super dealloc]; } @end

Listing 1-1 shows the code that draws Hello, World! in the window. Add the highlighted code lines to the drawRect: method in the MyView.m file. Listing 1-1 Method to draw Hello, World! in a view

- (void) drawRect:(CGRect) rect { NSString *hello = @"Hello, World!"; CGPoint location = CGPointMake(10, 20); UIFont *font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:24]; [[UIColor whiteColor] set]; [hello drawAtPoint:location withFont:font]; }

If you turned on code completion (as described in "Using Code Completion" (page 14)), as you type symbol names the text editor suggests completions for the symbol names it recognizes. For example, as you type CGPointM, the text editor suggests the completion shown in Figure 1-2 (page 14). You can take advantage of completion here by accepting the suggested completion and jumping to the parameter placeholders: 1. Jump to the first parameter by choosing Edit > Select Next Placeholder, and type 10. The Select Next Placeholder command moves you among the arguments in function or method calls that the text editor suggests as completions to the text youre typing. 2. 3. Jump to the second parameter and type 20. Enter the semicolon (;) at the end of the line and press Return.

Tutorial: Hello, World!

CHAPTER 1

iPhone Development Quick Start

Run the Application

To build and run the Hello World application, choose Build > Build and Run (or click the Build and Go toolbar item in the project window). If there are no build errors, Xcode installs the application in iPhone Simulator or your device (depending on the active SDK setting).

Troubleshooting Hello, World! Build Errors

This section contains possible build errors for the Hello, World! project and their cause.
Building ... Compiling error: error: 2 errors <project_directory>/Classes/HelloWorldAppDelegate.m (2 errors) 'MyView' undeclared (first use in this function) 'view' undeclared (first use in this function)

CHAPTER 2

Configuring Applications

This chapter describes how to set up your applications properties to customize its runtime environment, configure its entitlements to take advantage of iPhone OS security features, and how to adapt it so that it builds correctly in the iPhone simulator and device environments.

Editing Property-List Files

Property-list files are XML files that organize data into named values and lists of values using simple data types. These data types let you create, transport, and store structured data in an accessible and efficient way. Xcode uses two main types of property-list file to store runtime-configuration information for your application:

Information-property list. These files, commonly referred to as info-plist files, contain essential information used by your application and iPhone OS. See The Information Property List in iPhone Application Programming Guide for information about the application properties defined in info-plist files. Entitlements. These files define properties that provide your application access to iPhone OS features (such as push notifications) and secure data (such as the users keychain).

To learn more about property-list files, see Property List Programming Guide. To edit a property-list file, perform one of these actions:

To edit it in the editor pane of the Project window, select the file in the Groups & Files list or in the detail view. To edit it in a dedicated editor window, double-click the file in the Groups & Files list or in the detail view.

To make editing property-list files convenient and to ensure the files structure is correct, the property-list editor uses property-listfile schemas to display property names in the Key column, and formatted values (such as check boxes for Boolean values) in the Value column. However, you may want to see the properties key names and values in their XML (or raw) form. To toggle between viewing the formatted keys and values and their raw form, toggle the Show Raw Keys/Values option of the property-list editor shortcut menu.

Managing Application Entitlements

iPhone OS provides access to special resources and capabilitiessuch as whether your application can be debuggedthrough properties called entitlements. To specify entitlement information in your application, you add an entitlement property-list file containing entitlement definitions (key/value pairs) to your project. When you build your application, Xcode copies the file to the generated application bundle.

Managing Application Entitlements

CHAPTER 2

To add an entitlements property-list file to your project: 1. 2. 3. 4. In the Groups & Files list, select the Resources group. Choose File > New File. Choose the iPhone OS > Code Signing > Entitlements template. Name the file Entitlements.plist. (You can use any name; just ensure it matches the value of the Code Signing Entitlements build setting, as explained later in this section.) Set the type of the property-list file to iPhone Entitlements. With the file selected in the text editor, choose View > Property List Type > iPhone Entitlements plist.

Add the necessary entitlement entries to the file. For each entitlement property you need to define: a. b. Click the Add Child or Add Sibling buttons to the right of the selected row. The Add Child button has three lines depicting a hierarchy, the Add Sibling button has a plus (+) sign on it. Choose the entitlement property from the pop-up menu that appears. If the entitlement you need to add doesnt appear in the menu, choose View > Property List Type > Default for File Type. Then enter the entitlement-key name and type. c. Enter the value for the property.

Conditionalizing Compilation and Linking

The two iPhone OS runtime environments are the iPhone simulation environment and the iPhone device environment. You use the former to test your application on your Mac, and the latter to test it on a device. These environments are fundamentally different; therefore, when using technology thats implemented differently in the two environments you need to tweak your code so that some of it runs in iPhone Simulator application but not on a device. You may also need to link to different frameworks to obtain the same functionality in the simulator and a device, such as when you use the CFNetwork framework. This section shows how to target code to iPhone Simulator or a device and which frameworks (or libraries) to link, depending on whether the active SDK belongs to the iPhone Simulator SDK family or the iPhone Device SDK family.

Compiling Source Code Conditionally for iPhone Applications

There may be times when you need to run code on the simulator but not on a device, and the other way around. On those occasions, you can use the preprocessor macros TARGET_OS_IPHONE and TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR to conditionally compile code. Listing 2-1 shows how to use the TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR macro to determine whether code meant for iPhone OS is being compiled for the simulator or devices. Listing 2-1 Determining whether youre compiling for the simulator

// Set hello to "Hello, <device or simulator>"! #if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR NSString *hello = @"Hello, iPhone Simulator!"; #else NSString *hello = @"Hello, iPhone device!"; #endif

Conditionalizing Compilation and Linking

CHAPTER 2

Configuring Applications

Listing 2-2 shows how to use the TARGET_OS_IPHONE macro in a source to be shared between Mac OS X and iPhone OS. Listing 2-2 Determining whether youre compiling for iPhone OS

#if TARGET_OS_IPHONE #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #else #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> #endif

The TARGET_OS_IPHONE and TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR macros are defined in the TargetConditionals.h header file.

Linking Frameworks Conditionally for iPhone Applications

There may be occasions when you need to configure your application target so that it links against one framework to run on the simulator and a different framework to run on a device. To link a framework only when when using a particular SDK, set the Other Linker Flags build setting in all configurations for the SDK you want the definition to apply to -framework <framework_name>. If you need to, you can add another condition to the Other Linker Flags build setting to specify a different SDK and framework. See Editing Conditional Build Settings in Xcode Project Management Guide for details about defining build settings for particular SDKs.

Conditionalizing Compilation and Linking

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

When youre ready to run or debug your application, you build it using the Xcode build system. If there are no build errors, you can run it in iPhone Simulator or on a device. The iPhone SDK comprises two SDK families: The iPhone Simulator SDK and the iPhone Device SDK.

iPhone Simulator SDK: These SDKs build applications that run in iPhone Simulator. iPhone Device SDK: These SDKs build applications that run in a device.

These are steps you follow to build and run applications: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Set the applications target iPhone OS release. Set the active SDK. Set the active build configuration. Build the application. Run the application.

This chapter describes each of the steps required to run or debug your application. Start with "Running Sample Applications" (page 31) if youre interested in seeing applications that showcase iPhone OS features.

Running Sample Applications

The iPhone Dev Center provides several resources that help you learn about the iPhone application-development process. One of these resource types is sample code. You can download sample code to your computer and run it in iPhone Simulator. If youre an iPhone Developer Program member, you can also run sample code on your device. See "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47) for details. To run sample code: 1. Download the ZIP archive (the file with the .zip suffix) containing the sample code you want to use. The archive is named after the application name; for example, HelloWorld.zip. If you download the sample-code projects from the Xcode Documentation window, Xcode expands the archive and opens the project automatically. Otherwise, continue to the next step. Expand the archive by double-clicking it. Navigate to the sample-code project directory, also named after the example application; for example, HelloWorld.

2. 3. 4.

Running Sample Applications

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

Double-click the project package, a file with the .xcodeproj suffix. For example, HelloWorld.xcodeproj. This action opens the project in Xcode. Troubleshooting: Xcode doesnt launch: If Xcode doesnt launch, you need to download it and install it on your computer. To download Xcode, visit iPhone Dev Center.

With the sample-code project open in Xcode, follow the instructions in the following sections to build and run the application.

Specifying the Buildtime Environment

When you build your application, Xcode uses a build environment made up of frameworks, libraries, applications, command-line tools, and other resources. Each release of the iPhone SDK makes improvements to this environment to, for example, add user-interface features or improve compilers and resource-processing tools. In addition to these resources, you can specify whether you want to build your application to debug it or to distribute it to customers. This section describes how to set your buildtime environment.

Setting the Base SDK

One of the main factors that determine how Xcode builds your application is the SDK used to build it. As described earlier, iPhone SDKs come in two families: one to target devices and one to target iPhone Simulator. Applications built using an SDK from the iPhone Device SDK can run only on iPhone OSbased devices. Conversely, applications built using an SDK from the iPhone Simulator SDK family run only in iPhone Simulator. You specify the SDK Xcode uses to build your application in your projects Base SDK build setting, which you can set in the General pane of the Project Info window or in the Build pane of the same window.

Specifying the Buildtime Environment

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

Setting Your Code Signing Identity

When you build your application to run it on a device, Xcode signs it with a development certificate (also known as a code signing identity) stored on your default keychain. To learn how to obtain and install development certificates, see "Preparing Devices for Development" (page 47). The Code Signing Identity build setting specifies the code signing identity Xcode uses to sign your binary. Xcode looks for code signing identities in your default keychain. Figure 3-1 shows an example set of options for the Code Signing Identity build setting obtained from the login (default) keychain shown in Figure 3-2 (the name of the default keychain appears bold in the Keychains list).

Specifying the Buildtime Environment

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

Figure 3-1

Code Signing Identity build setting options

Figure 3-2

A keychain with a developer certificate

These are the possible values for the Code Signing Identity build setting:

Dont Code Sign. Choose this option if you dont want to sign your binary. Note that with this value, when you build your applications using the iPhone Device SDK the build fails. Automatic Profile Selectors. These choices look for an identity whose name starts with iPhone Developer or iPhone Distribution. A code signing identity. A specific code signing identity. The code signing identities in your default keychain are listed under the name of the provisioning profile under which you downloaded them from the iPhone Developer Program Portal. Expired or otherwise invalid identities are dimmed and cannot be chosen.

Xcode project templates are configured to use the iPhone Developer automatic selector.

Specifying the Buildtime Environment

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

Important: If need to use different code signing identities with the same name, you must use a separate Mac OS X user account for each identity.

Setting the Architecture

An iPhone OS device uses one of a set of architectures, which include armv6 and armv7. The Architectures build setting identifies the architectures for which your application is built. You have two options for specifying the value of this setting:

Standard. Produces an application binary with a common architecture, compatible with all supported iPhone OS devices. This option generates the smallest application, but it may not be optimized to run at the best possible speed for all devices. Optimized. Produces an application binary optimized for each supported iPhone OS device. However, the build time is longer than when using the Standard option, and the application is also larger because multiple instruction sets are bundled into it.

Choose the value for the Architecture build setting in the Build pane of the Target or Project Info window. If you need to build your application so that it contains executable code for a different set of architectures than these predefined values offer, you can choose Other from the Architecture build-setting value list and enter the desired iPhone OSdevice architecture names.

Setting the Active Build Configuration

A build configuration tells Xcode the purpose of the built product. Out of the box, Xcode lets you perform Debug and Release builds of your application. Debug builds include information and features that aid in debugging your application. Release builds produce smaller and faster binaries. During early and midlevel development, you should use the Debug configuration because it provides the best debugging experience. You should use the Release configuration in the last stages of development to measure and analyze your applications performance. When you start a build process, Xcode uses the active build configuration to build your application. There are two places you can set the active build configuration:

In the Set Active Build Configuration submenu in the Project menu In the Overview pop-up menu in the toolbar

To learn more about the Release and Debug configurations, see Building Products.

Specifying the Runtime Environment

Each release of iPhone OS (and its corresponding SDK) includes features and capabilities not present in earlier releases. As new releases of the OS are published, some users may upgrade immediately while other users may wait before moving to the latest release. You can take one of two strategies, depending on the needs of your application and your user base:

Specifying the Runtime Environment

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

Target the latest iPhone OS release. Targeting the latest release allows you to take advantage of all the features available in the latest version of iPhone OS. However, this approach may offer a smaller set of users capable of installing your application on their devices because your application cannot run on iPhone OS releases that are earlier than the target release. Target an earlier iPhone OS release. Targeting a noncurrent release lets you publish your application to a wide user base (because your application runs on the target OS release and later releases), but may limit the iPhone OS features your application can use.

You specify the earliest iPhone OS release on which you want your application to run with the iPhone OS Deployment Target build setting. By default, this build setting is set to the iPhone OS release that corresponds to the Base SDK build-setting value. For example, when you set Base SDK to iPhone Device 2.2.1 or iPhone Simulator 2.2.1, the value of the iPhone Deployment Target build setting is iPhone OS 2.2.1, as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3 Base SDK and iPhone Deployment Target build settings

To build your application using the iPhone Device 3.0 SDK but allow it to run on iPhone OS 2.2.1, set Base SDK to iPhone Device 3.0 and iPhone Deployment Target to iPhone OS 2.2.1. When you build your application, your deployment target selection is reflected in the MinimumOSVersion entry in the applications Info.plist file. When you publish your application to the App Store, the store indicates the iPhone OS release on which your application can run based on the value of this property. See SDK Compatibility Guide for more information.

Setting the Active SDK

After setting up your buildtime environment, as described in "Specifying the Buildtime Environment" (page 32), you may need to make temporary changes to it. One of the aspects you may change often is where Xcode installs and runs your application: iPhone Simulator or your device. To make this change, set the active SDK. The active SDK tells Xcode which SDK to use to build your application the next time you run the Build command. By default, the active SDK is set to the value of your projects Base SDK. You set the active SDK in two ways:

Using the Project > Set Active SDK menu

Setting the Active SDK

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

Using the Overview pop-up menu in the Project-window toolbar.

iPhone Device SDK: If the iPhone Device SDK release is earlier than the applications target iPhone OS release (for example, the active SDK is iPhone Device 2.2.1 and iPhone Deployment Target is iPhone OS 3.0), Xcode displays build warnings when it detects that your application is using a feature thats not available in the target OS release. See "Specifying the Runtime Environment" (page 35) for more information. You must also ensure that the symbols you use are available in the applications runtime environment using cross-development techniques. These techniques are describedin Mac OS X termsin SDK Compatibility Guide.

iPhone Simulator SDK: When using the iPhone Simulator SDK to test your application, the iPhone Simulator software version must be set to the iPhone OS release that corresponds to the iPhone Simulator SDK used to build the application. For example, if you build your application using iPhone Simulator SDK 2.2.1, you must set the iPhone Simulator software version to iPhone OS 2.2.1. See "Setting the Simulation-Environment iPhone OS Version" (page 43) for details. After testing your application in iPhone Simulator, you must test it on an iPhone OSbased device to measure and tune its performance. To be able to run your application on a device, you must be a member of the iPhone Developer Program; see "Preparing Devices for Development" (page 47) for details. When changing the active SDK from iPhone Simulator SDK to iPhone Device SDK, keep in mind that the former provides a runtime environment for Mac OS X. Some of the key frameworks iPhone Simulator uses are tailored for Mac OS X. Moving to the iPhone Device SDK means that instead of Mac OS Xbased frameworks and libraries, your application links against device-specific frameworks and libraries. Some of these frameworks and libraries are implemented differently or are not available for the device, such as the ApplicationServices framework.

Setting the Active SDK

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

If your code imports iPhone Simulator SDK headersthe headers in the

<Xcode>/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/SDKs/.../usr/include directorydirectly, you

may encounter build errors after switching to the iPhone Device SDK. You may need to conditionalize your code so that the #import/#include statements that use SDK headers are compiled only when building for the appropriate platform.

Building Your Application

To start the build process, choose Build > Build. The status bar in the project window indicates that the build was successful or that there are build errors or warnings. You can view build errors and warnings in the text editor or the Project window. Important: If you want your application to run in iPhone Simulator and on your device, you may need to conditionalize code compilation and framework linkage to adapt to the differences between the iPhone Simulator SDK and the iPhone Device SDK. See "Conditionalizing Compilation and Linking" (page 29) for details. When building for iPhone Simulator, the generated binary runs only on the targeted iPhone Simulator release. It doesnt run on earlier or later releases of the simulator. iPhone OSbased devices support two instruction sets, ARM and Thumb. Xcode uses Thumb instructions by default because using Thumb typically reduces code size by about 35 percent relative to ARM. Applications that have extensive floating-point code might perform better if they use ARM instructions rather than Thumb. You can turn off Thumb for your application by turning off the Compile for Thumb build setting. If the build completes successfully, you can proceed to run your application as described in "Running Your Application" (page 39).

Solving Build Errors

This section lists build errors you may experience while building your application and provides suggestions for solving them.

Provisioning Profile Errors

When building for a device, if Xcode has trouble installing your application onto your device due to a problem with your provisioning profile, ensure that your provisioning profile is properly configured in the iPhone Developer Program Portal (see "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47)). If necessary reinstall it on your computer and device, as described in "Preparing Devices for Development" (page 47).

Code Signing Errors

When the code signing identity youre using to sign your binary has expired or is otherwise invalid, you may get the following build-error message:
Code Signing Identity 'iPhone Developer' does not match any valid, non-expired, code-signing certificate in your keychain.

Building Your Application

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

To solve the error, choose a valid code signing identity, as described in "Setting Your Code Signing Identity" (page 33).

Application ID Errors
Application ID build errors may be produced due to a conflict between the application ID set in your provisioning profile (obtained through the Program Portal) and the application ID specified by the CFBundleIdentifier property of your application. To avoid such errors, ensure that the application ID in the profile is set to com.<organization_name>.* and your applications CFBundleIdentifier property is set to com.<organization_name>.<application_name>. That is, if the application ID in your provisioning profile specifies a domain set, the application ID specified by the CFBundleIdentifier property of your application must not redefine the domain set, it may only reduce it. Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 identify valid and invalid pairing of these items. Table 3-1 Valid App ID/CFBundleIdentifier property pair

To learn about the structure of iPhone application binaries, including details about the CFBundleIdentifier property, see The Application Bundle in iPhone Application Programming Guide. To lear about solving other build errors, use the techniques described in Viewing Errors and Warnings in Xcode Project Management Guide to fix them.

Running Your Application

When you run your application, Xcode installs it on iPhone Simulator or a device (depending on the active SDK) and launches it. If you have more than one device attached to your computer, you can choose the device onto which Xcode installs the built application using the Project > Set Active Executable menu. Once running, you can test that your application performs as you intend using all the capabilities of your device. You should especially ensure that your application uses the devices resourcesCPU, memory, battery, and so onas efficiently as possible. See "Tuning Applications" (page 73) for more information. To run your application, choose Run > Run or Run > Debug.

Running Your Application

CHAPTER 3

Running Applications

Troubleshooting: If you get the Failed to start remote debugserver while trying to debug your application on your device, your device may not be running the iPhone OS release that corresponds to your iPhone SDK. For more information, see "Restoring System Software" (page 53).

Streamlining the Build-and-Run Workflow

In addition to the Build, Run, and Debug commands, Xcode provides convenience commands that perform these operations as a single task. These commands are Build and Run and Build and Debug. You can also repeat the last build task with the Build and Go command, which you can execute from the Build menu.

Managing Application Data

As you develop your application, you might need to rely on user settings and application data to remain on iPhone Simulator or your development device between builds. Xcode doesnt remove any user settings or application data as you build your project and install the application on its host. But you may need to erase that information as part of testing your application the way users will use it. To do so, remove the application from the Home screen. See "Uninstalling Applications" (page 45) for details. As described in File and Data Management in iPhone Application Programming Guide, iPhone applications can access only files that reside in the applications local file system. You can view your applications local file system in your device and in iPhone Simulator. To view your applications iPhone Simulatorbased file system, navigate to the ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications directory in the Finder. Then open each directory in the Applications directory to find your applications binary file. Alongside the binary file are the directories that make up your applications local file system. Figure 3-4 shows the local file system for the BubbleLevel application in iPhone Simulator.

CHAPTER 4

Using iPhone Simulator

The iPhone simulation environment lets you build and run your iPhone application on your computer. You use the simulator environment to:

Find and fix major problems in your application during design and early testing. Learn about the Xcode development experience and the iPhone development environment before becoming a member of the iPhone Developer Program. Lay out and test your applications user interface. Measure your applications memory usage before carrying out detailed performance analysis on iPhone OSbased devices.

A major part of the iPhone simulation environment is the iPhone Simulator application. This application presents the iPhone user interface in a window on your computer. The application provides several ways of interacting with it using your keyboard and mouse to simulate taps and device rotation, among other gestures. iPhone OS supports the Objective-C runtime introduced in Mac OS X v10.5 except for access to Objective-C class metadata. This means that, if your application accesses Objective-C class metadata, it may not run on iPhone Simulator. See Objective-C 2.0 Runtime Reference for more information. The following sections describe the ways in which you use your computers input devices to simulate the interaction between users and their devices. They also show how to uninstall applications from the simulator and how to reset the contents of the simulator.

Setting the Simulation-Environment iPhone OS Version

iPhone Simulator can simulate more than one iPhone OS release. To set the iPhone OS release used in the simulation environment, choose Hardware > Version, and choose the version you want to test on.

Manipulating the Hardware

iPhone Simulator lets you simulate most of the actions a user performs on their device. When youre running your application in iPhone Simulator, you can carry out these hardware interactions through the Hardware menu:

Rotate Left. Rotates the simulator to the left. Rotate Right. Rotates the simulator the right. Shake. Shakes the simulator. Home. Takes the simulator to the Home screen.

Lock. Locks the simulator. Simulate Memory Warning. Sends the frontmost application low-memory warnings. For information on how to handle low-memory situations, see Observing Low-Memory Warnings in iPhone Application Programming Guide. Toggle In-Call Status Bar. Toggles the status bar between its normal state and its in-call state. The status bar is taller in its in-call state than in its normal state. This command shows you how your applications user interface looks when the user launches your application while a phone call is in progress.

CHAPTER 4

Using iPhone Simulator

In iPhone Simulator, you can install only applications that you build using the iPhone Simulator SDK. You cannot install applications from the App Store in the simulator.

Uninstalling Applications
To uninstall applications you have installed on the simulator use the same method used to uninstall applications from devices: 1. 2. 3. Place the pointer over the icon of the application you want to uninstall and hold down the mouse button until the icon starts to wiggle. Click the icons close button. Click the Home button to stop the icon wiggling.

Resetting Content and Settings

To set the user content and settings of the simulator to their factory state and remove the applications you have installed, choose iPhone Simulator > Reset Content and Settings.

Core Location Functionality

The relocation reported by the CoreLocation framework in the simulator is fixed at the following coordinates (accuracy 100 meters), which correspond to 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014.

Latitude: 37.3317 North Longitude: 122.0307 West

Accelerometer Access
Although you can access your computers accelerometer (if it has one) through the UIKit framework, its readings differ from the accelerometer readings on a device. This discrepancy stems largely from the different positioning of the screen in relation to the rest of the hardware between computers and iPhone OSbased devices.

CHAPTER 5

Managing Devices

With iPhone Simulator you can start developing iPhone applications without using iPhone OSbased devices. This way you can familiarize yourself with the API and development workflows used to develop applications. However, you must always test your applications on actual devices before publishing them to ensure that they run as intended and to tune them for performance on actual hardware. As a registered iPhone developer you can log in to the iPhone Dev Center, which provides access to iPhone developer documentation and lets you build iPhone applications that run in iPhone Simulator. (To become a registered iPhone developer, visit http://developer.apple.com/iphone.) Being a registered iPhone developer, however, doesnt allow you to run applications on iPhone OSbased devices. To do so you must be a member of the iPhone Developer Program. See "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47) for more information. This chapter shows how to add your development devices to the iPhone Developer Program and how to configure your computer for development. It also shows how to use the Xcode Organizer window to view your applications console logs or crash information, or to take screenshots of your application as it runs. The chapter also describes how to safeguard the digital identifications required to install applications in development in devices.

Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal

The iPhone Developer Program provides the tools and resources you need to run applications on development devices and distribute them to iPhone OS users. To become a member of the iPhone Developer Program, visit http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program. After becoming an iPhone Developer Program member, you have access to the iPhone Developer Program Portal in the iPhone Dev Center. The iPhone Developer Program Portal (or Program Portal) is a restricted-access area of the iPhone Dev Center that allows you to configure devices to test your iPhone applications on them. Important: If you are not a member of the iPhone Developer Program, you do not have access to the Program Portal.

Preparing Devices for Development

In order to test your application on a device, you must configure your computer and your device for iPhone OS development. This section presents an overview of the process and provides detailed information in the sections that follow. In preparing your device for development, you create or obtain the following digital assets:

Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal

CHAPTER 5

Managing Devices

Certificate signing request. A certificate signing request (CSR) contains personal information used to generate your development certificate. You submit this request to the iPhone Developer Program Portal. Note: The Program Portal is visible only to members of the iPhone Developer Program. To become an iPhone Developer Program member, visit http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program.

Development certificate. A development certificate identifies an iPhone application developer. After the CSR is approved, you download your developer certificate from the portal and add it to your Keychain. When you build your iPhone application with Xcode, it looks for your development certificate in your keychain; if it finds the certificate, Xcode signs your application, otherwise, it reports a build error. If your development certificate is missing from your keychain, download it again from the Program Portal. Then, follow the instructions in "Adding Your Development Certificate to Your Keychain" (page 51).

Provisioning profile. A provisioning profile associates one or more development certificates, devices, and an iPhone application ID (a unique identifier for the iPhone applications you or your organization develop under an iPhone Developer Program contract). To be able to install iPhone applications signed with your development certificate on a device, you must install at least one provisioning profile on the device. This provisioning profile must identify you (through your development certificate) and your device (by listing its unique device identifier). If youre part of an iPhone developer team, other members of your team, with appropriately defined provisioning profiles, may run applications you build on their devices.

Figure 5-1 illustrates the relationship between these digital assets. Figure 5-1 Preparing computers and devices for iPhone development

Computer Certificate Signing Request Keychain Xcode Organizer Development Certificate (is stored on computer) Digital identity Public key Provisioning Profile (is stored on device) Development certificates Device identifiers App ID iPhone Developer Program Portal

These are the requirements your computer and your development device must meet so that you can build iPhone applications that run on your device:

Managing Devices

Your computer must have your development certificate in your keychain. Your device must contain at least one provisioning profile that contains your developer certificate and identifies your device. Your development device must have iPhone OS 2.0 or later installed.

These are the steps you must follow to configure your computer and development device for iPhone development: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Specify your application ID. Register your device with the Program Portal. Install iPhone OS on your device. Obtain your development certificate. Add your development certificate to your keychain. Obtain your provisioning profile. Add your provisioning profile to Xcode. Install your provisioning profile on your device.

The following sections describe these tasks in detail.

Setting Your Application ID

After becoming a member of the iPhone Developer Program (see "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47)), you must set your application ID in the Program Portal. iPhone OS uses application IDs to identify the applications you create. An iPhone application ID is made up of a ten-character bundle seed identifier and a bundle identifier. The bundle identifier can identify one application or a group of applications. This is an example of an iPhone application ID that identifies a single application, named MyApp:
GFWOTNXFIY.com.mycompany.MyApp

Using an asterisk instead of an application name in the bundle identifier, as shown below, lets you share a single application ID between a set of related applications.
GFWOTNXFIY.com.mycompany.myappsuite.*

Note: Regardless of the format used by the iPhone application ID, application bundles must always include the application name in their bundle identifier. To learn more about the bundle identifier, see The Application Bundle in iPhone Application Programming Guide.

Registering Your Device with the Program Portal

To register your development device with the portal:

Go to the portal to register your device or have your team admin register your device into the program. For more information about the portal, "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47).

Installing iPhone OS on Your Device

To run applications you develop using the iPhone SDK, your device must be running iPhone OS 2.0 or later. To learn how to install iPhone OS on your device, see "Restoring System Software" (page 53).

Preparing Devices for Development

CHAPTER 5

Managing Devices

Obtaining Your Development Certificate

Xcode uses your development certificate to code-sign your application before it uploads it to your device for testing. Start by generating a certificate signing request (CSR) on your computer: 1. 2. 3. Launch Keychain Access, located in /Applications/Utilities. Choose Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority. In the Certificate Information window: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. In the User Email Address field, enter your email address. In the Common Name field, enter your name. In the Request is group, select the Saved to disk option. Select Let me specify key pair information. Click Continue. Choose your desktop as the location for the CSR file. In the Key Pair Information pane, choose 2048 as the key size and RSA as the algorithm.

The Certificate Assistant saves a CSR file to your desktop. This process creates a public/private key pair. The public key is stored in your development certificate. Your private key is stored in your keychain. You must ensure that you dont lose your private key and that only you have access to it. Therefore, its a good idea to backup your private key. Backing up your private key may also help if you need to use more than one computer to develop iPhone applications. You should also save your CSR, for future use. See "Managing Your Digital Identities" (page 54) for more information. 4. Submit the CSR to the Program Portal.

After the CSR is approved by your team admin, you can download your development certificate from the Program Portal (see "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47)). As with your private key, you should backup your development certificate in case you need to develop iPhone applications on another computer. See "Managing Your Digital Identities" (page 54) for details.

Adding Your Development Certificate to Your Keychain

Your development certificate must be in your keychain so that Xcode can digitally sign your iPhone applications. To add your development certificate to your keychain, in your computer: 1. Open your development certificate with the Keychain Access application by double-clicking it or dragging it to the Keychain Access application icon.

Preparing Devices for Development

CHAPTER 5

Managing Devices

In the Add Certificates dialog, ensure Keychain is set to login and click OK.

Obtaining Your Provisioning Profile

To obtain your provisioning profile: 1. 2. Have your team admin create your provisioning profile in the Program Portal. Download your provisioning profile from the Program Portal (see "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47)).

Adding Your Provisioning Profile to the Xcode Organizer

You use the Organizer to add provisioning profiles to your development device. To add a provisioning profile to Xcode, drag the provisioning profile file to the Xcode icon in the Dock. After this action your provisioning profile appears in the Provisioning Profiles list in the Organizer.

Installing Your Provisioning Profile on Your Device

After adding your provisioning profile to the Organizer, you can add it to your device: 1. Open the Organizer window. Your provisioning profile should appear in the Provisioning Profiles list. If you dont see it there, follow the instructions in "Adding Your Provisioning Profile to the Xcode Organizer" (page 52). 2. 3. Plug in your device. Drag your provisioning profile from the Provisioning Profiles list to your device, under the Devices group in the Organizer sidebar. Once installed, a checkmark should appear in the checkbox next to the provisioning profile. If the checkmark doesnt appear, ensure that the provisioning profile includes your device UDID, your development certificate, and a valid application ID. Go to the Program Portal (see "Accessing the iPhone Developer Program Portal" (page 47)) or contact your team admin to verify that the provisioning profile contains this information . You need to go back to the "Obtaining Your Provisioning Profile" (page 52) step if changes are made to your profile. Troubleshooting: If your provisioning profile does not appear in the Provisioning section of the Summary pane in the Organizer while your device is selected in the Devices list, quit and relaunch Xcode.

Restoring System Software

When you develop applications using the iPhone SDK, you should test those applications on devices running the iPhone OS version the SDK targets. You can download the latest release of the iPhone SDK from the iPhone Dev Center. Use iTunes to install the latest iPhone OS onto your device. Note: During seed periods, you can download seed releases of the iPhone SDK and iPhone OS from the iPhone Dev Center. To restore a device: 1. 2. 3. 4. Launch Xcode and open the Organizer window. Plug the device into your computer. Select the device in the Devices list. From the Software Version pop-up menu, choose the version of iPhone OS you want to place on the device. If youre using a seed release of the iPhone SDK and the version of iPhone OS you want to install is not listed in the Software Version pop-up menu: a. Download the iPhone OS seed that corresponds to your iPhone SDK seed from http://developer.apple.com. Important: You must be a member of the iPhone Developer Program to be able to download iPhone OS. b. c. From the Software Version pop-up menu, choose Other Version. Navigate to the disk image containing the iPhone OS developer software and click Open. Xcode extracts the iPhone OS software from the disk image. You can dispose of the disk image you downloaded. d. From the Software Version pop-up menu, choose the newly downloaded iPhone OS version.

During nonseed periods, you must install iPhone OS using iTunes. 5. 6. Click Restore iPhone or Restore iPod, depending on your devices type. Use iTunes to name your device.

Restoring System Software

CHAPTER 5

Managing Devices

Running Applications on a Device

After following the instructions in "Preparing Devices for Development" (page 47) and "Restoring System Software" (page 53) (if necessary) you can run your application on your development device. You tell Xcode that you want to build your application for a device and that you want to run it on a connected device by setting the active SDK to an iPhone Device SDK. See "Building Your Application" (page 38) for details.

Capturing Screen Shots

Screen shots help to document your application. This is also how you create your applications default image, which iPhone OS displays when the user taps your applications icon. You can capture screen shots of your devices screen from the Organizer or directly on your device. To capture a screen shot from the Organizer: 1. Configure your applications screen for the screen shot. Depending on your applications workflow, you may need to place breakpoint in your code and run your application until it reaches that point. 2. 3. Open the Organizer window, select your device, and click Screenshots. Click Capture. To make that screen shot your applications default image, click Save As Default Image. To get a PNG file of the screenshot, drag it to the desktop. If you have iPhoto installed on your computer, you may capture screen shots directly on your device and import them into your iPhoto library. To capture a screen shot on your device, press the the Lock and Home buttons simultaneously. Your screen shot is saved in the Saved Photos album in the Photos application. Note: Although the default image includes the status bar as it looked when the screen shot was captured, iPhone OS replaces it with the current status bar when your application launches.

Managing Your Digital Identities

When you create a certificate signing request (CSR) to obtain your development certificate, you generate a public/private key pair. The public key is included in your development certificate. The private key is stored in your keychain. With these two items in your computer, Xcode can code-sign the iPhone applications you build with it. If you need to use another computer to develop iPhone applications, you must transfer these items to the other computer and add them to your keychain.

Running Applications on a Device

CHAPTER 5

Managing Devices

This section shows how to export your private key from your keychain in your development computer, store your CSR, private key, and development certificate in a protected disk image, and add these items to a second computer for iPhone development. To export your private key from your keychain: 1. 2. 3. 4. Launch Keychain Access. In the category list, select Keys. Select the private key you use for iPhone development. Choose Export from the private key shortcut menu. (To display the private key shortcut menu, Control-click the selected row.) 5. 6. Enter a password to protect the private key. Select a location for the private key and use the Personal Information Exchange (.p12) format for the file.

To generate a protected disk image containing your CSR, private key, and development certificate: 1. Place your CSR, private key, and development certificate file in a newly created directory, named iPhone Developer Identity Documents. Launch the Disk Utility application, located in /Applications/Utilities. Choose File > New > Disk Image from Folder. Choose the iPhone Developer Identity Documents directory you created earlier. Select a location for the new protected disk image. From the Encryption pop-up menu, choose 256-AES encryption . In the dialog that appears, enter a password for the disk image. You should deselect the Remember password in my keychain option. Otherwise, anybody with access to your account may open the disk image. 8. Place the protected disk image in a secure location.

2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Now, when you need to develop iPhone applications on another computer: 1. 2. 3. Copy the iPhone Developer Identity Documents.dmg disk-image file to the second computer. On the second computer, open the disk image. Import the private key into your keychain: a. b. c. Launch Keychain Access. Choose File > Import Items. Choose the private key file to import.

CHAPTER 6

Debugging Applications

This chapter describes the Xcode debugging facilities. Part of your debugging workflow may require to view or manipulate data your application writes in its file system. For example, you may need to edit the data the application has stored to recreate a particular condition you want to test. See "Managing Application Data" (page 40) for details about manipulating your applications data.

Debugging Facilities Overview

Xcode provides several debugging environments you can use to find and squash bugs in your code:

The text editor. The text editor allows you to debug your code right in your code. It provides most of the debugging features you need. You can:

Add and set breakpoints View your call stack per thread View the value of variables by hovering the mouse pointer over them Execute a single line of code Step in to, out of, or over function or method calls

Debugger strip

Gutter

Debugger datatip

Debugging Facilities Overview

CHAPTER 6

Debugging Applications

The Debugger window. When you need to perform more focused debugging, the Debugger window provides all the debugging features the text editor provides using a traditional interface. This window provides lists that allow you to see your call stack and the variables in scope at a glance.

Toolbar Variable list

Thread list

Text editor

Status bar

The GDB console. A GDB console window is available for text-based debugging.

Important: To debug successfully on a device, you must install on your computer the iPhone SDK corresponding to the iPhone OS release installed on the device. That is, you cannot debug an application on a device running iPhone OS 2.2.1 if you do not have the iPhone 2.2.1 SDK installed on your computer. For more information about the Xcode debugging facilities, see Xcode Debugging Guide.

Viewing Console and Crash Logs

The iPhone OS frameworks, such as UIKit, produce log entries to the console to indicate, among other things, when an unexpected event occurs. You can produce console messages in your iPhone applications, too. One way to produce console logs is to use the NSLog function. In addition to the Xcode debugger, console logs may help you analyze your applications logic and track down bugs. When running your application on iPhone Simulator, you can access its console logs in Console application (located /Applications/Utilities). When you run the application on your development device, log entries from your application appear in the Xcode Organizer. To view a devices console output: 1. 2. Open the Organizer window. Select the device whose console log you want to view.

Viewing Console and Crash Logs

CHAPTER 6

Debugging Applications

Click Console.

You can use the search field to filter log entries. You can also save the log to a file. The Crash Logs pane in the Organizer contains information about application crashes. You may have to unplug your device and plug it in again to refresh the crash list.

Finding Memory Leaks

If you fix a leak and your program starts crashing, your code is probably trying to use an already-freed object or memory buffer. To learn more about memory leaks, see Finding Memory Leaks. You can use the NSZombieEnabled facility to find the code that accesses freed objects. When you turn on NSZombieEnabled, your application logs accesses to deallocated memory, as shown here:
2008-10-03 18:10:39.933 HelloWorld[1026:20b] *** -[GSFont ascender]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x126550

To activate the NSZombieEnabled facility in your application: 1. 2. Choose Project > Edit Active Executable to open the executable Info window. Click Arguments.

Click the add (+) button in the Variables to be set in the environment section. Enter NSZombieEnabled in the Name column and YES in the Value column. Make sure that the checkmark for the NSZombieEnabled entry is selected.

For more information about configuring executable environments, see Configuring Executable Environments in Xcode Project Management Guide. iPhone 3.1 SDK introduces the Leaks instrument, which you can use in the Instruments application to easily find memory leaks. For more information, see Instruments User Guide.

CHAPTER 7

Unit Testing Applications

Unit tests help you write robust and secure code. Xcode provides an easy-to-use flexible unit-testing environment that you can use to ensure your code works as designed as it goes through changes. Software requirements: This feature is available in iPhone SDK 3.0 and later. This chapter introduces unit testing and describes how you can take advantage of it in your projects. For a case study in unit-testing adoption and usage, see: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/04/23/ocunit.html Xcode is already configured for unit testing. You dont need to install additional software.

Unit Testing Overview

Unit testing lets you specify behavior that your code must exhibit to ensure that its functionality remains unchanged as you modify it to, for example, make performance improvements or fix bugs. A test case exercises your code in a specific way; if the results vary from the expected results, the test case fails. A test suite is made up of a set of test cases. You can develop one or more test suites to test different aspects of your code. Unit tests are the basis of test-driven development, which is a style of writing code in which you write test cases before writing the code to be tested. This development approach lets you codify requirements and edge cases for your code before you get down to writing it. After writing the test cases, you develop your algorithms with the aim of passing your test cases. After your code passes the test cases, you have a foundation upon which you can make improvements to your code, with confidence that any changes to the expected behavior (which would result in bugs in your product) are identified the next time you run the tests. Even when not using test-driven development, unit tests can help reduce the introduction of bugs in your code. You can incorporate unit testing in a working application to ensure that future source-code changes dont modify the applications behavior. As you fix bugs, you can add test cases that confirm the bugs are fixed. However, adding unit tests to a project thats not designed with unit testing in mind may require rearchitecting or refactoring parts of the code to make them testable. The Xcode unit-testing environment is based on the open-source SenTestingKit framework. This framework provides a set of classes and command-line tools that let you design test suites and run them on your code. Xcode offers two types of unit tests: logic tests and application tests.

Logic tests. These tests check the correct functionality of your code in a clean-room environment; that is, your code is not run inside an application. Logic tests let you put together very specific test cases to exercise your code at a very granular level (a single method in class) or as part of a workflow (several

Unit Testing Overview

CHAPTER 7

Unit Testing Applications

methods in one or more classes). You can use logic tests to perform stress-testing of your code to ensure that it behaves correctly in extreme situations that are unlikely in a running application. These tests help you produce robust code that works correctly when used in ways that you did not anticipate.

Application tests. These tests check the functionality of your code in a running application. You can use application tests to ensure that the connections of your user-interface controls (outlets and actions) remain in place, and that your controls and controller objects work correctly with your object model as you work on your application. Because application tests run only on a device, you can also use these tests to perform hardware testing, such as getting the location of the device.

Setting Up Testing
Logic unit tests (introduced in "Unit Testing Overview" (page 61)) allow you to perform exhaustive, highly tailored testing of your code. To perform logic tests, you build a unit-test bundle using the iPhone Simulator SDK. When you build the unit-test bundle, Xcode runs the test suites that are part of the bundle. You incorporate test suites into a test bundle by adding SenTestCase subclasses to the bundle. These classes contain test-case methods that call the API to exercise and report wether the calls produced the expected results. Xcode reports whether the tests passed or failed in text editor windows and the Build Results window. Application unit tests let you test your code within an application running on an iPhone OS device, with access to the resources available in the Cocoa Touch framework. This section describes how to set up a project for each type of unit test.

Setting Up Logic Testing

To set up a logicunit-test bundle in a project: 1. Add an iPhone OS unit-test bundle target to the project. Name the target LogicTests (you can use any name you like for your unit-test bundles, but you should include the suffix Tests to identify them as such). For details about adding targets to a project, see Creating Targets in Xcode Build System Guide. 2. 3. 4. Set the LogicTests target as the active target. Add a group called Tests to the Group & Files list, and select that group in the list. Add a unit-test class to the unit-test-bundle target. Each unit-test class in the bundle makes up a test suite. a. b. c. Choose File > New, select the iPhone OS unit-test class template, and click Next. Name the class LogicTests (you can use any name here, too). Select the option to create the header file.

Ensure that LogicTests is the only target selected in the target list.

Change LogicTests.h so that it looks like this:

#import <SenTestingKit/SenTestingKit.h> #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface LogicTests : SenTestCase { } @end

Change LogicTests.m so that it looks like this:

#import "LogicTests.h" @implementation LogicTests - (void) testFail { STFail(@"Must fail to succeed."); } @end

Set the base SDK for the project to iPhone Simulator 3.0 or later. For more information about the Base SDK build setting, see "Setting the Base SDK" (page 32).

CHAPTER 7

Unit Testing Applications

Set the active target to LogicTests and choose Build > Build. If the unit-test bundle is configured correctly, the build fails and Xcode displays an error message in the text editor.

Now make the test case pass by changing the highlighted lines in LogicTest.m:
#import "LogicTests.h" @implementation LogicTests - (void) testPass { STAssertTrue(TRUE, @""); } @end

At this point you have a correctly configured logicunit-test bundle. See "Writing Tests" (page 69) to learn how to add test cases to it.

Setting Up Application Testing

To set up an applicationunit-test bundle in a project: 1. Make a copy of the target that builds the application to test by choosing Duplicate from its shortcut menu, and name it <application_name>Testing (for example, MyAppTesting). (You can use any name for this target, but you should include the suffix Testing to identify it as a target used to run application unit tests.) The only purpose of this target is to run application unit tests. Add an iPhone OS unit-test bundle target to the project. Name the target <application_name>Tests (for example, MyAppTests).

CHAPTER 7

Unit Testing Applications

Now that you have a correctly configured application unit-test bundle, see "Writing Tests" (page 69) to learn how to add test cases to it.

Writing Tests
After configuring a unit-test bundle with a unit-test class (which implements a test suite), you add cases to the suite by adding test-case methods to the class. A test-case method is an instance method of a unit-test class thats named test..., with no parameters, and whose return type is void. Test-case methods call the API they test and report whether the API performed as expectedfor example, whether it returns the anticipated return or whether it raises an exception. Test-case methods use a set of macros to check for the expected conditions and report their findings. "Unit-Test Result Macro Reference" (page 87) describes these macros. For a test case to access the subject API, you may have to add the appropriate implementation files to the unit-test bundle and import the corresponding header files into your unit-test class. For an example of a project that uses unit tests, see the iPhoneUnitTests sample-code project. Note: iPhone unit-testcases are written in Objective-C. This is the structure a test-case method:
- (void) test<test_case_name> { ... // Set up, call test-case subject API. ST... // Report pass/fail to testing framework. ... // Tear down. }

Each test-case method is invoked independently. Therefore, each method must set up and tear down any auxiliary variables, structures, and objects it needs to interact with the subject API. Conveniently, you can add a pair of methods to a unit-test class that are called before and after each test-case method is invoked: setUp and tearDown. Just like test-case methods, the type of both methods is void and they take no arguments. This is an example of a setUp/tearDown method pair:
- (void) setUp { test_subject = [[MyClass new] retain]; STAssertNotNil(test_subject, @"Could not create test subject."); } - (void) tearDown { [test_subject release]; }

Writing Tests

CHAPTER 7

Unit Testing Applications

Note: When theres a reported failure in a setUp or tearDown call, the failure is ultimately reported in the test-case method that originated the call.

Running Tests
To ensure that changes you make to your code dont modify its correct behavior, you should run your test suites periodically, especially after making significant changes. This section shows how to run logic and application tests. It also shows how to set up an application target so that Xcode runs logic tests every time you build it.

Running Logic Tests

To run your logic tests, all you need to do is build the appropriate logic-test target. You can build such a target in two ways:

Making the the target active and choosing Build > Build Choosing Build from the targets shortcut menu

The Build Results window shows the results of your tests. You can make Xcode run your logic tests every time you build your application. This way you dont have to remember to run those tests. Follow these steps to set up your application target so that building it runs your logic tests: 1. Drag your logic-test target into your application target. This action makes the application target depend on the logic-test target.

Running Tests
2009-08-06 | 2009 Apple Inc. All Rights Reserved.

CHAPTER 7

Unit Testing Applications

When you build the application target, Xcode builds the logic target first, reporting test failures in the process. 2. 3. 4. 5. In the LogicTests Info window, display the build pane. Choose All Configurations from the Configuration pop-up menu. Choose All Settings from the Show pop-up menu. In the Architectures group of the build-setting list, set Base SDK to iPhone Simulator 3.0, and deselect Build Active Architecture Only.

Running Application Tests

To run your application tests, you must build, and run or debug the application-testing target. Remember that you can use such targets only to run or debug test cases; you cannot use them to run your application on your device interactively. The console displays the results of your application tests.

Writing Testable Code

The Xcode integrated support for unit testing makes it possible for you to build test suites to support your development efforts in any way you want. You can use it to detect potential regressions in your code or to validate the behavior of your application. These capabilities can add tremendous value to your projects. In particular, they can improve the stability of your code greatly by ensuring individual APIs behave in the expected ways. Of course, the level of stability you receive from unit testing is highly dependent on the quality of the test cases you write. These are some guidelines to think about as you write code to ensure that its easily testable:

Define API requirements. You should define requirements and outcomes for each method or function that you add to your program. These requirements should include input and output ranges, exceptions thrown and the conditions under which they are raised, and the type of returned values (especially if they are objects). Specifying requirements and making sure that requirements are met in your code help you write robust, secure code.

Writing Testable Code

CHAPTER 7

Unit Testing Applications

See the iPhoneUnitTests sample-code project for an example of using exceptions to identify and report incorrect API usage by a client.

Write test cases as you write code. As you write each API, write one or more test cases that ensure the APIs requirements are met. Its harder to write unit tests for existing code than for code you havent written or wrote recently. Check boundary conditions. If the parameter of a method expects values in a specific range, your tests should pass values that include the lowest and highest values of the range. For example, if an integer parameter can have values between 0 and 100, inclusive, three variants of your test may pass the values 0, 50, and 100, respectively. Use negative tests. Negative tests ensure your code responds to error conditions appropriately. Verify that your code behaves correctly when it receives invalid or unexpected input values. Also verify that it returns error codes or raises exceptions when it should. For example, if an integer parameter can accept values in the range 0 to 100, inclusive, you should create test cases that pass the values -1 and 101 to ensure that the API raises an exception or returns an error code. Write comprehensive test cases. Comprehensive tests combine different code modules to implement some of the more complex behavior of your API. While simple, isolated tests provide value, stacked tests exercise complex behaviors and tend to catch many more problems. These kinds of test mimic the behavior of your code under more realistic conditions. For example, in addition to adding objects to an array, you could create the array, add several objects to it, remove a few of them using different methods, and then ensure the set and number of remaining objects is correct. Cover your bug fixes with test cases. Whenever you fix a bug, write one or more tests cases that verify the fix.

Writing Testable Code

CHAPTER 8

Tuning Applications

Optimizing your applications performance is an important phase of the development process, more so in iPhone OSbased devices, which, although powerful computing devices, do not have the memory or CPU power that desktop or portable computers possess. You also have to pay attention to your applications battery use, as it directly impacts your customers battery-life experience. This chapter describes Instruments and Shark, the tools you use to measure and tune your applications performance. Prerequisites: Follow the instructions in "Running Applications" (page 31) before trying the application-tuning techniques described in this chapter on your application.

The Instruments Application

The Instruments application lets you gather a variety of application performance metrics, such as memory and network use. You can gather data from iPhone applications running in iPhone Simulator or on your development devices. It is important that your iPhone applications use the resources of iPhone OSbased devices as efficiently as possible to provide a satisfactory experience for you customers. For example, your application should not use resources in a way that makes the application feel sluggish to users or drains their batteries too quickly. Applications that use too much memory run slowly. Applications that rely on the network for their operation must use it as sparingly as possible because powering up the radios for network communications is a significant drag on the battery. The Instruments application provides an advanced data gathering interface that lets you know exactly how your application uses resources, such as the CPU, memory, file system, and so on. Instruments uses software-based data-gathering tools, known as instruments, to collect performance data. An instrument collects a specific type of data, such as network activity or memory usage. You find which instruments are available for iPhone OS in the Instruments Library. Although most iPhone applications run in iPhone Simulator and you can test most design decisions there, the simulator does not emulate a device, in particular it doesnt attempt to replicate a devices performance characteristics such as CPU speed or memory throughput. To effectively measure your applications performance as users may use it on their devices, you must use an iPhone or iPod touch. Thats because only on a device can you get an accurate representation of the runtime environment (in terms of processor speed, memory limitations, specialized hardware, and the like). These are some limitations of iPhone Simulator:

Maximum of two fingers. If your applications user interface can respond to touch events involving more than two fingers, you can test that capability only on devices.

The Instruments Application

CHAPTER 8

Tuning Applications

Accelerometer. Although you can access your computers accelerometer (if it has one) through the UIKit framework, its readings differ from the accelerometer readings on a device. This discrepancy stems largely from the different positioning of the screen in relation to the rest of the hardware between computers and iPhone OSbased devices. OpenGL ES. OpenGL ES uses renderers on devices that are slightly different from those it uses in iPhone Simulator. For this reason, a scene on the simulator and the same scene on a device may not be identical at the pixel level. See Drawing with OpenGL ES in iPhone Application Programming Guide for details.

To measure your applications performance on a device: 1. 2. Build and run your application on the device as described in "Running Applications" (page 31). Launch Instruments. The Instruments application is located at <Xcode>/Applications. (<Xcode> refers to the installation location of the development tools.) 3. Choose a template, such as Activity Monitor, to create the trace document. A trace document contains one or more instruments that collect data about a process. 4. 5. 6. 7. From the Default Target pop-up menu in the toolbar, select the iPhone OSbased device containing the application from which you want to collect performance data. Add or remove instruments from the trace document to collect the desired data. Use the Default Target pop-up menu, to launch or attach to the target application. Click Record to start collecting data and use your application, exercising the areas you want to examine.

To learn more about measuring and analyzing application performance, see Instruments User Guide. This document provides general information about using Instruments.

The Shark Application

To complement the performance data Instruments collects, the Shark application lets you view system-level events, such as system calls, thread-scheduling decisions, interrupts, and virtual memory faults. You can see how your codes threads interact with each other and how your application interacts with iPhone OS. When performance problems in your code are more related to the interaction between your code, iPhone OS, and the hardware architecture of the device, you can use Shark to get information about those interactions and find performance bottlenecks. For information about using Shark with your iPhone applications, see Shark User Guide.

The Shark Application

CHAPTER 9

Publishing Applications for Testing

After testing and tuning your application yourself or with the assistance of your teammates, its always a good idea to perform wider testing with a representative sample of your applications potential users. Such testing may reveal issues that surface only with particular usage patterns. Incorporating a few nondeveloper users in your testing strategy lets you expose your application to a variety of usage styles, and, if such usage produces crashes in your application, allows you to collect the crash reports (also known as crash logs) from those users to help you resolve those execution problems. An iPhone application in development can run only on devices with provisioning profiles generated by the application developer. As iPhone Developer Program members, you and your fellow team members install these files on your devices as part of your development process. To include users that are not part of your team (also known as testers) in your testing strategy, you must add them as part of your team in the Program Portal and issue them test provisioning profiles (also known as ad-hoc provisioning profiles), which allow them to install on their devices applications that have not been published to the App Store. Figure 9-1 illustrates the process of adding users as testers and delivering your test application to them. Figure 9-1 Adding testers to your team

CHAPTER 9

Publishing Applications for Testing

Prerequisites: Before publishing your application for testing, review the information in "Running Applications" (page 31). To help testers obtain the information you need to add them to your testing program and to show them how to send you crash logs, you can send them the information in "Instructions for Application Testers" (page 79). Important: To add testers to your team, you must be a member of the iPhone Developer Program. See "Managing Devices" (page 47) for details. The remainder of this chapter describes the steps you need to perform to add testers to your team and shows how to import the crash logs they send you into the Organizer.

Adding Testers to Your Team

To add an iPhone OS user to your team as a tester: 1. Obtain the testers device ID. The easiest way to obtain this information is through email. Have your tester follow the instructions for sending their device ID to developers in "Sending Your Device ID to a Developer" (page 79). 2. 3. Add the testers device ID to the Program Portal. Generate the testers provisioning profile in the Program Portal. You must select a development certificate, application ID, and only the testers device name.

Adding the iTunes Artwork to Your Application

Test versions of your application should contain artwork iTunes uses to identify your application. Otherwise, when users add your application to their iTunes library, iTunes uses generic artwork for it, as shown in Figure 9-2.

Adding Testers to Your Team

CHAPTER 9

Publishing Applications for Testing

Figure 9-2

Generic iTunes artwork for test applications

The iTunes artwork your testers see should be your applications icon. This artwork must be a 512 x 512 JPEG or PNG file named iTunesArtwork. Note that the file must not have an extension. After generating the file of your applications icon, follow these steps to add it to your application: 1. 2. 3. 4. Open your project in Xcode. In the Groups & Files list, select the Resources group. Choose Project > Add to Project, navigate to your iTunesArtwork file, and click Add. In the dialog that appears, select the Copy items option and click Add.

Distributing Your Application to Testers

Before sending your application to a tester build it using the Release build configuration. You can find the directory containing your binary (and its corresponding dSYM file) by choosing Reveal in Finder from the application in the Products group in the Groups & Files list.

Distributing Your Application to Testers

CHAPTER 9

Publishing Applications for Testing

Remember to keep the binary and its corresponding dSYM file on your file system (copy them to a directory that contains a subdirectory for each build youve released to your teammates or to testers) so that theyre indexed by Spotlight. Send your application binary and the testers provisioning profile to the tester. One way of accomplishing this task is by compressing these items and emailing them to the tester: 1. 2. In the Finder, select the two files and choose File > Compress. Name the archive <application_name> for <user_name>.zip. For example, MyTestApp for Anna Haro.zip. In the Finder, select the archive and choose Finder > Services > Mail > Send File. In the body of the message make sure to include your applications target iPhone OS release. If the testers iPhone OS version is earlier than the one for which your application was built, they will not be able to install the application on their device.

3. 4.

When a tester receives the items, she or he follows the instructions in "Instructions for Application Testers" (page 79) to install the application and the provisioning profile.

Distributing Your Application to Testers

CHAPTER 9

Publishing Applications for Testing

Importing Tester Crash Logs

To add tester crash logs to the Organizer to view their symbol information, drag the crash logs to the Crash Logs group under the iPhone Development section. Important: For Xcode to symbolize crash logs (to add information about the API used to the crash log), Spotlight must be indexing the volume in which you store your binaries and their corresponding dSYM files.

Instructions for Application Testers

This section provides instructions to testers about the procedures to follow to test your iPhone applications on their devices. An application tester is a potential user of your application who wants to test it before its released through the App Store. You may send these instructions, along with any special tasks needed to test your application, to customers interested in testing your application.

Sending Your Device ID to a Developer

Before a developer can send you an application for testing, they must register your device with Apple under their applicagion-testing program. To send your device ID to a developer for test-program registration: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Launch iTunes. Connect your device to your computer. Select the device in the Devices list. In the Summary pane, click the Serial Number label. It changes to Identifier. Choose Edit > Copy. Email your device identifier to the developer. Be sure to include your name and device name in the email.

Installing an Application for Testing

After being successfully registered in a developers testing program, the developer sends you an archive containing two files: the application and a provisioning profile. You need to install both files into iTunes to be able run the application on your device. After opening the archive:

Importing Tester Crash Logs

CHAPTER 9

Publishing Applications for Testing

Drag the provisioning profile (the file with the .mobileprovision extension) to the iTunes Library group. Drag the application (the file with the .app extension) to the iTunes Library group. The application appears in the Applications list.

Sync your device. If the version of iPhone OS on your device is earlier than the test application can run on, you need to update your device with the current release of iPhone OS.

Sending Crash Reports to a Developer

When the application youre testing crashes, iPhone OS creates a record of that event. The next time you connect your device to iTunes, iTunes downloads those records (known as crash logs) to your computer. To help get the problem fixed, you should send crash logs of the application youre testing to its developer.

Sending Crash Reports from Macs

To send crash logs to developers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. In the Finder, open a new window. Choose Go > Go to Folder. Enter ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice. Open the folder named after your devices name. Select the crash logs named after the application youre testing. Choose Finder > Services > Mail > Send File. In the New Message window, enter the developers email address in the To field and <application_name> crash logs from <your_name> (for example, MyTestApp crash logs from Anna Haro) in the Subject field. Choose Message > Send. In the Finder, you may delete the crash logs you sent to avoid sending duplicate reports later.

8. 9.

Sending Crash Reports from Windows

To send crash logs to developers, enter the crash log directory (Listing 9-1 and Listing 9-2) in the Windows search field, replacing <user_name> with your Windows user name. Listing 9-1 Crash log storage on Windows Vista

iPhone Development FAQ

Here are some common questions developers ask about iPhone development:

Can GCC 4.2 be used with the iPhone Simulator SDK? No.

Does the iPhone Simulator application run on network home directories? No.

Do Objective-C properties need to be backed up by instance variables or accessor methods for them to work? Yes.

Why do curl transitions appear as fade transitions in iPhone Simulator? Because Mac OS X doesnt support curl transitions.

Do static libraries need to be code-signed before being used in an iPhone application? No.

Why is my application having problems processing PNG files? The code that is trying to use your PNG files may not understand compressed PNG files. Turn off the Compress PNG Files build setting. For information about build settings, see Editing Build Settings in Xcode Project Management Guide.

Can I develop iPhone applications on Windows? No. iPhone applications can be developed only on Mac OS X.

How do I link all the Objective-C classes in a static library? Set the Other Linker Flags build setting to -ObjC. If that doesnt bring in all the classes, set it to -all_load.

When should I replace deprecated API? Update as soon as you can, considering the iPhone OS versions you want your application to run on. See SDK Compatibility Guide for details.

APPENDIX B

Unit-Test Result Macro Reference

The SenTestingKit framework defines a set of test-case result macros that allow you to report the test-case results to the framework. When a test fails, the framework emits a test-failure message, which Xcode displays in text-editor, Build Results, or console windows, depending on the type of unit tests being performed. The following sections describe the test-result macros you can use in your test-case methods. These macros are declared in SenTestCase.h. Important: When the expressions your test cases evaluate throw exceptions, they produce unknown errors. To test whether your code raises exceptions, create test cases that explicitly check for the presence or absence or exceptions; see "Exception Tests" (page 91).

iPhone Simulator Frameworks and Libraries

This appendix contains information about the frameworks and system libraries in the iPhone Simulator SDK. Where applicable, the tables in this index list any key prefixes used by the classes, methods, functions, types, or constants of the framework. You should avoid using any of the specified prefixes in your own symbol names.

iPhone Simulator Frameworks

Although you should always target the device frameworks when writing your code, you might need to compile your code specially for iPhone Simulator during testing. The frameworks available on the iPhone Device SDK and the iPhone Simulator SDK are mostly identical, but there are a handful of differences. For example, iPhone Simulator uses several Mac OS X frameworks as part of its own implementation. In addition, the exact interfaces available for an iPhone Device SDK framework and an iPhone Simulator SDK framework may differ slightly due to system limitations. Table C-1 describes the frameworks available for use in iPhone Simulator. You can find these frameworks in the
<Xcode>/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/<SimulatorSDK>/System/Library/Frameworks directory where <Xcode> is the path to your Xcode installation directory and <SimulatorSDK> is the specific

SDK version you are using. The First available column lists the iPhone OS release in which the framework first appeared. Important: The frameworks designated as Mac OS Xspecific are used internally by iPhone Simulator. You must not link against these frameworks.

iPhone Simulator System Libraries

Note that some specialty libraries at the Core OS and Core Services level are not packaged as frameworks. Instead, iPhone OS includes many dynamic libraries in the /usr/lib directory of the system. Dynamic shared libraries are identified by their .dylib extension. Header files for the libraries are located in the /usr/include directory. Each version of the iPhone SDK includes a local copy of the dynamic shared libraries that are installed with the system. These copies are installed on your development system so that you can link to them from your Xcode projects. To see the list of libraries for a particular version of iPhone OS, look in
<Xcode>/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/<iPhoneSimulatorSDK>/usr/lib where <Xcode> is the path to your Xcode installation directory and <iPhoneSimulatorSDK> is the specific

SDK version you are targeting. For example, the shared libraries for the iPhone Simulator 3.0 SDK would be located in the
<Xcode>/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.0.sdk/usr/lib

directory, with the corresponding headers in

<Xcode>/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.0.sdk/usr/include.

The iPhone Simulator SDK uses symbolic links to point to the most current version of most libraries. When linking to a dynamic shared library, use the symbolic link instead of a link to a specific version of the library. Library versions may change in future versions of the iPhone Simulator SDK; if your software is linked to a specific version, that version might not always be available in future releases.
