Länsförsäkringar Bank – API hack & documentation

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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; [...]

iPad/iPhone forward geocoding API using Google gecoding service

Björn Sållarp — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:09:37 +0000

The iPhone (and now iPad) SDK supports reverse geocoding out of the box. Reverse geocoding means you have a coordinate and want to find out where you are located, for instance, the name of the street you are on. Forward geocoding means you know the name of a location and want to find the coordinates. For [...]

iPhone sliding menu (facebook style)

Björn Sållarp — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 00:32:52 +0000

A while back I wrote about the sliding menu in the Facebook application. I was truly impressed by their application and especially the sliding menu. One of the major problems with the iPhone UI in my opinion is the lack of intuitive ways to present navigation to many functions for a single view. The sliding [...]
