Björn Sållarp — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 18:06:25 +0000

It’s been a year since I released the first and only swedish multi-bank app for iPhone. It’s been pretty successful with some ~45.000 downloads and it’s being downloaded at a rate of 80-100 times per day. When I built the first version I used (and still use today) scraping techniques to authenticate and fetch information [...]

Why your video refuse to play on iPad/iPhone

Björn Sållarp — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 10:27:40 +0000

Having problems getting your video to play on your iOS device even tough it plays back perfectly in your browser? First of all, make sure your video is in a supported format (H.264+AAC+MP4). Videos can easily be encoded using an application such as Handbreak. Make sure your HTML code is correct. Here’s a great resource [...]

Fetching App Store sales statistics from iTunes Connect into MySQL using AppDailySales

Björn Sållarp — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 13:36:12 +0000

It’s always interesting to see how well (or poorly) your app is performing in App Store and iTunes Connect has since the latest update provided much nicer interface to track this with graphs. The iTC Mobile app also provide the same graphs/information on the go. However, iTunes Connect falls short because daily statistics are only [...]

Facebook Connect – Including static maps in wall posts

Björn Sållarp — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 22:09:57 +0000

I’ve been playing around with Facebook Connect for iOS and posting messages to the wall that include a static map. I started out by trying to use a URL to a static Google map. Problem: the map didn’t show up or was showing the wrong thing. I found some threads on Facebook forums etc of people [...]

UIWebView user-agent weirdness and how to change user-agent value programmatically

Björn Sållarp — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:48:53 +0000

I’ve been lazy recently, I know…. But I’e finally gotten around to fix some bugs and added some minor things to “Mitt Saldo” making it ready for version 1.1. A bug was reported that Handelsbanken didn’t work properly on the iPad which was weird because the iPhone works well and it’s the same code. It [...]

Unlike much of the work I’ve publish here which is proof of concept or “building blocks” for applications, this is the complete source for a real application that you can download on AppStore for free. If you want to check out the application you can get it through iTunes/AppStore. The source can be downloaded at [...]

iPhone/iPad – AppStore like UIScrollView with paging and preview

Björn Sållarp — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:29:45 +0000

Do you like the way application images are displayed in AppStore or the way Safari flips between tabs? This post contains a complete horizontal, paged UIScrollView with preview control. Alexander Repty posted a sample on his blog and my sample is based on his work. I’ve encapsulated the solution into one, easy to use, control [...]

Ever been in a situation where you need to wait for an asynchronous task to complete. This is a rare case but sometimes you need to do this. I used this techinque in my previous post on how to extract the user-agent string from a UIWebView. Check it out for a more complete sample. The [...]

iPhone/iPad – Get User-Agent for UIWebView

Björn Sållarp — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 09:10:03 +0000

In each new version of iOS the browser gets a new user-agent string. I’ve been searching for a way to get the user-agent string from the API but haven’t been able to find a straight forward way to do it. Here’s my solution: BSWebViewUserAgent.h #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> @interface BSWebViewUserAgent : NSObject <UIWebViewDelegate> { NSString *userAgent; [...]
