We want to end the year by thanking all of you who have encouraged us to develop better software this year. Thank you for all the support.

We look forward to 2010 by reminding ourselves of this verse from Proverbs 31:8

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.”

Check out our iPhone applications - we look forward to developing more iPhone apps in 2010.

    UIButton and initFrame

    I was running my app with Instruments looking for memory leaks. I came across this piece of code that caused a memory leak. I was stumped for while.

    UIButton* button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(x, y, width, height)];
    [someView addSubview:button];

    My path of logic
    1. buttonWithType returns an auto-released object
    2. I wanted to set the frame’s rect
    3. addSubview should increment the retain count
    4. when the function ends - button should have a retain count of 1
    5. when the parent view is destroyed, button should be release

    Half an hour later. The error of course is in the call to initWithFrame. “buttonWithType” returns an already initialized button - it probably already called initWithFrame within the function. I am calling initWithFrame a 2nd time - and this is bad.

    The fix is to set the frame using button.frame = CGRectMake(x,y,width, height)

    A few apps submitted by me were rejected by Apple yesterday,

    The non-public APIs that are included in your application are the
    following undocumented private UITouch instance variables:
    UITouch._locationInWindow
    UITouch._phase
    UITouch._previousLocationInWindow
    UITouch._tapCount
    UITouch._timestamp
    UITouch._touchFlags
    UITouch._view
    UITouch._window

    I was clueless initially as I am pretty sure I wasn’t using any of the mentioned APIs. A quick search on Google showed that the culprit is actually in the Three20 library.

    My apps of course are using the Three20 library.

    Here is the link to the Three20 discussion.

    What is the problem?

    The offending method is called simulateTapAtPoint - Joe uses this in TTWebViewController.

    So what is the solution?

    1. Joe Hewitt (author of three20) has made some modifications to the latest code - adding #ifdef DEBUG around the offending code. Get the latest code here.

    2. Uprise78 claims that Joe’s changes are not sufficient. He forked the original project and made it available here. Some others are getting rejected because of a call to firstResponder from UIWindow.

    I am planning to go with the 2nd option.
