KATG iPhone App Take 2

[yoav]

wait what is all this Prov_Profile_Ad_Hoc.mobileprovision stuff? couldn't you just make an .ipa file to drag into itunes? or put it up in cydia... once installed does it auto update?

why are you using rapidshare?

i think the forums and chat are too much for the phone.

For it to be a legal iTunes store app you need to develop it with the SDK. To be able to install it on devices you need a signed provisioning profile.

It's no good making a cydia version that runs for the few that jailbreak but is no use to anyone else.

Plus even cydia apps need to be hosted somewhere...

oh.. never developed for iphone.. thought cydia/store apps were packaged the same but submitted to different places.

can't github host the app? seems odd they'd only host source code.

i'm frightened and confused.

There are iPhone skins for vB, but that would be something they'd need to install here, rather then the phone. I'd imagine it would be incredibly hard to scrape and then format the data from the forums.

- Youtube you might just want to send a youtube:// link to katg in the youtube app - that's what it's there for.

- A mobile version of the store page should be pretty easy for michael and would be a nice addition to the app

- I personally also use the past guests page a lot... is that data accessible?

I think i'm calling it on the forums for 1.0

I like the twitter idea a lot, I'll figure something out for that.

The mobile YouTube interface is pretty good and I can't see any reason to leave the app to play the videos.

I think the store is a good add, I'll do that today, maybe figure out a paypal thing (I need to check the SDK rules on stores in apps)

Past guests may get integrated into the past shows tab

Feedback will probably replace the live show tab

Brian A and RyanVC should be good to go, just hit the download link.

I think I'm going to stop taking UDID for a couple days, this is eating up to much time when I should be coding. I'll start again once I get some new features tackled.

anybody know anything about html POST requests. I need to generate a POST request to work with voxBack to submit feedback. I could just add a webView for feedback, but it looks like balls, so I'm hoping that I can use native textFields to input the text and then generate a post request to replace the default voxBack form.

generic code for html POST in obj-c:
NSString *myRequestString = @"&myVariable1=Hello%20World&myVariable2=Ohai2u ";
NSData *myRequestData = [ NSData dataWithBytes: [ myRequestString UTF8String ] length: [ myRequestString length ] ]
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [ [ NSMutableURLRequest alloc ] initWithURL: [ NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.google.com/" ] ];
[ request setHTTPMethod: @"POST" ];
[ request setHTTPBody: myRequestData ];

NSData *returnData = [ NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest: request returningResponse: nil error: nil ];

This will send the POST request: http://www.google.com/&myVariable1=H...riable2=Ohai2u and place any data that comes back int the NSData object returnData

voxBack form:
