So I am just getting some much needed rest after attending the first Steel City Ruby Conf (and my first ruby conf). I have to say it was definitely one of the best conferences I ve been to, it was more of a well rounded conference than a technical conference! The theme of the conference seemed to be more “meet each other and listen to people in-between” than the normal “we have a bunch of people talking to ya” thing. The interesting part is that it opened up channels for people to communicate instead of just sitting around listening to people talk. The other cool thing was that we were encouraged to sit at different tables and lunch with a different group of people every time.
I had the pleasure of lunching with Joe O’Brien (@objo) , Jim Weirich @jimweirich (the inventor of Rake), Greg Malcolm @GregMalcolm and a whole bunch of awesomly interesting people! The full list of people who attended is here. I also met some awesome people from 4moms who build interesting products for parents and it aint as expensive as other baby stuff like they pointed out. Also in attendance was Jack of square. And Skill Bonsai raffled out 3 books, I won one. I am now the proud owner of
I am a relatively new to ruby and the community, though I ve deployed ruby apps before. I am primarily a PHP developer, I still love PHP and I am growing to love Ruby as well. The conference was a huge success, and I am enjoying my time in Pittsburgh!







Fixed Bug: Applications Disappear after Over the Air Install – iPhone App Development
April 16, 2011 • By lOOney dOOdle • Comments 5
I have been working with a couple of iPhone apps recently and in all cases I ve had to set up an Over the Air install client to distribute the apps to all the dev devices. My friend, Ulf wrote a ruby cms (hosted on github) for this very purpose (Thanks Much!). Here is a bug that seems to have baffled some people and never been an issue for some people.
Bug: The app installs but as soon as it does, the icon disappears from the screen.
This can be irritating, understandably.
Issue: The app id doesn’t match the provisioning profile.
Fix: Found Here
It turns out to be that the bundle-identifier in the app-info.plist file did not match the adhoc provisioning profile identifier. This property has to match the APP ID in the provisioning portal that you created the profile with.
i.e. My APP ID = com.TheApp.*
WRONG:
bundle-identifier
com.SomeOtherName.Whatever
CORRECT:
bundle-identifier
com.TheApp.TheAppName
Also, make sure that you replace ‘TheAppName’ with the same value as ‘Product Name’ in your project + target settings.
