Fixed Bug: Applications Disappear after Over the Air Install – iPhone App Development

Date: April 16, 2011 • By • Comments View Comments

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.

Building multiple buildings from a map inside maya

Date: February 27, 2011 • By • Comments View Comments

Tools needed:

Adobe Photoshop
Autodesk Maya
Google Maps
Google Earth

Lets get started

For this post, i am using the map data from NYC’s gis website. Here is the link http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/

The first thing you need to do is decide the area on the map you are going to work on. I am going to start small, just a block from downtown brooklyn for now. My ultimate motive for doing this is to publish it inside BetaVille, the project i am working for as a 3D Artist right now. So, here is the block. All you need is a screenshot of the block.

Screenshot for building the buildings ground up.

 

 

Now, Open this up in Photoshop. We are going to use the pen tool to pen on top of the edges of the buildings.

Open it up in photoshop

Select the Pen Tool
