Last summer I had actually tried my hand with a small free Android app – a small quiz. Because Google is too lazy or unwilling to let Romanian developers distribute paid apps in the Android Market, that app was monetized by Admob – and has brought, since July 2011 till now, a total revenue so [...]
Because I am still working hard recoding one of my most important apps, and hoping I’ll be ready in a week or two, I won’t do a iOS development post just yet. Instead, I am going to take my turn reviewing the new iPad, in the shortest manner possible: When did I get it? As [...]
Two weeks ago I didn’t write anything for my #idevblogaday entry. There were two non-reasons for that: for starters, it had been my birthday and I thought I deserved a “break”. For seconds, I didn’t know what to write about, as I hadn’t been doing much coding progress, nor discovered any new programming tips. The [...]
Like everyone else, when I saw the iPhone shown by Steve Jobs on stage back in January 2007, I realized it would change everything. I just had no idea how much it would change me – I’d earn my living creating apps for it, I’d surround myself with Apple-made gadgets and services and, most importantly, [...]
The app I’ve been working lately makes a bit more use of NSDate than my usual ones. I thought I’d share with the world a few pieces of code I’ve been using; How to test if two NSDate dates belong to the same day: I created a category on NSDate and added the following method [...]
XMas is gone, New Year’s is gone, the holiday is over and we are back to work. Same old stuff. Like Dilbert says, there shouldn’t be anything special about a random point in the space-time continuum. But there is something special. Each new year is the perfect reminder that time flies and we should do [...]
The time has come to, once again, blog over here as part of #idevblogaday. Remember the project I was telling you last time? I can reveal it now, as it’s been on the AppStore for a while now – Clean Writer for iPad, 2.0, a fully recoded, feature rich redesigned version of my quite popular [...]
I’m in the middle of a project which excites me a lot, especially because I want to have it finished in the next couple of days, so that with a bit of luck the app would go live to the appstore before December 22 (the dreaded date when iTunesConnect will shut down for an entire [...]
Hello idevs! Time sure flew by lately, so here I am, once more having to post one of my development adventures, forced by the unwritten agreement I took when joining the iDevBlogADay project. As any programmer can tell you, in most (over 95%) of your programming tasks you won’t have to deal with threads or [...]
I guess it's my time again for #idevblogaday. I'll keep this post short, as I'm still struggling with a bug that prevents me from submitting Clean Writer Pro. At the beginning of this week I was at Apple's iOS5 TechTalk in London. It was great. Apart from the rare opportunity of meeting great iOS developers [...]
