IPhone SDK

iPhone 3.0 Beta 5 – update

So far things are still going good. The part that was a bit rough was that when the restore image is used and the phone reboots…its like having a virgin iPhone again. Luckily you can restore your settings from a backup. But man that takes a while to re-install all of your applications and copy over the gigabytes of data. Not very much fun.

The only issue I had with this process was that Frenzic didn’t seem to want to install the first time. Tonight when I plugged the iPhone in, Frenzic installed and worked as I expected. So I’m not sure what happened last night.

iPhone 3.0 Beta 5

For a while now I have been an officially licensed iPhone developer. I haven’t had all the time in the world that I originally hoped for to develop various applications. But slowly I have been starting to make a little headway on an idea that a buddy of mine had.

I’ve been dragging my feet to make the 3.0 beta upgrade that has been available for developers for the past month or two. Its my work phone and I didn’t want anything goofy to happen which would render it useless to me. Seeing as the full version is probably coming out in a few weeks, I figured that it is time to bite the bullet and move to the new OS.

Safari / Firefox lockup issues.

This weekend, I finally got around to installing the final iPhone SDK. Everything installed great and I figured that I would get around to playing with it sometime this week. Unfortunately, both my wife and I noticed that Safari would start to lock up more often and Firefox would do the same thing for me.

I of coarse did very little to debug this figuring that it might be bad ram. Well, last night I went to run XCode to start messing around with some new code and I got a rather cryptic error upon launching the system.
