#iPhoneDev

It’s official, Apple has announced its new tablet the iPad!

If you can see this then migration was successful!

easyAPNS is an open source (free) system for sending Apple’s push notifications to a device. From their website:

What is Easy APNs?
If you are a native iPhone application developer, you may have heard of the Apple Push Notification service (APNs). There are a lot of excellent online guides on how to get your application to receive remote notifications… but what about the other piece of the puzzle… ACTUALLY SENDING A MESSAGE?!?!

This very cool project is brought you by Manifest Interactive.

*NOTE: I was NOT able to get this up and running on GoDaddy Hosting for some unknown reason, but the same exact files worked flawlessly on (mt) MediaTemple

Holy Shit! This has been an incredible year for me I have been a busy little developer. My first app (Peanut Butter Jelly Time) was approved last December and my 21st is in review as of this morning!

Thanks to AppViz I am now easily able to track my app downloads & sales. I knew that I had over 2 million downloads a few months back but I was doing a bit of estimation. Now I have concrete evidence that I have tipped the 3 MILLION sales mark I can hardly believe it. If only they were paid sales. Nonetheless this news kicks ass and I wanted to share it with you!

As you can see, revenue earned from direct sales this year is not all that exciting (4 paid apps) but don’t feel too bad for me. My advertising revenue was easily 5x’s that. Not bad for someone prior to last December had 0 coding experience! Add in my freelance work and you have a pretty decent salary for such a fun gig.

Here is a really cool presentation on using OpenGL to create 3d on the iPhone. It was given by Doug Turner (@dugla) to Boston iPhone developers.

By now you’ve probably all heard about apps being rejected by app store reviewers only to have the outcome overturned by Steve Jobs himself. The latest case even involves a developer being allowed to use a private api (a major no no for the rest of us unworthy developers.)

Well I say NO MORE! For the first time ever I am going to share with you the secret to getting your app rejections overturned

Introducing The Steve Jobs Card (very rare):

” Tap Steve Jobs to instantly overturn your app store rejection. You may only posses one Steve Jobs card per deck and it may only be played once per game. Playing this card will boost your noteriety mana +100, But you will incur -50 damage to the support of your fellow dev’s. Caution: this card can be blocked if your opponent casts the common sense spell. ”

I would like to welcome you to join the new Palm Beach iPhone Developer Network! I have organized this group due to the fact that no active iPhone Development groups exist in my immediate area.

I usually travel an hour and  a half to the South Florida iPhone Development Group in Miami Beach. I have no plans to stop going to their meetings because they always have great presenters and great meeting topics but rather I would like to supplement their meetings with our own local ones. I know for a fact that there are iPhone developers in the West Palm Beach area and I’m trying to get us all together.

If you are in the area please sign-up and also help spread the word to friends and colleagues so we can make this a successful meet-up group. If you are interested in presenting to our group or if you are a vendor whose product(s) and/or services would be beneficial to the group please contact me directly.

Another one of my applications has made it to print! This time it’s Remix DJ: SpeakEZ. It was reviewed in BigShotMag a magazine that caters to DJ’s and extreme music enthusiasts. You can see it in Issue #29 which is available now!

Here’s the Review:

Speak EZ (keyvisuals.com)
Price: Free

Description: Remember the Speak N’ Spell? Remix DJ does,
and they’ve done a virtual version for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Pros: A wide selection of phrases, plus the alphabet and numbers 0-9
for your to trigger.

Cons: The buttons are a bit small, and response sometimes lags.

But for free, it’s not much to complain about. You also can’t circuit bend it
like a real SnS; but, that’s what xternal effects are for.

Verdict: You win.
