“The application-identifier entitlement is not formatted correctly; it should contain your 10-character App ID Seed, followed by a dot, followed by your bundle identifier.”

From what I can tell, the way to fix this to create a NEW entitlements file (see my previous post on creating adhoc builds for instructions on how to do this).  Previously we’d only had to create an entitlements file and uncheck “get-task-allow”.

However now it appears you also need to add a new “keychain-access-group” and add an item which includes your App Identifier (get this from the iTunes Provisioning Portal) and your bundle identifier (com.mycompany.bundle_name).

See an example below:

After the recent release to developers of iPhone SDK 4.0, the inevitable scramble to review the new APIs has been on in earnest.  One of the first things noticed were the following new AVCaptureDevice class properties:

• AVCaptureDevice – isFlashMode Supported
• AVCaptureDevice – isTorchMode Supported
• AVCaptureDevice – position (Front or Rear)

These new properties relating to the iPhone SDK class AVCaptureDevice, a class used for audio and video capture and management, suggest that the new iPhone (to be announced at WWDC 2010??) may well include a “Flash”, a “Torch” and a front camera.

If this was to turn out to be true, then a front camera for the phone would make video calls possible, the ability to take photos while viewing the camera feed, and the flash would allow you to take photos in the dark!

All very cool new potential features.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this turns out to be the case!

As you navigate throughout the park, you receive instructions from a character called ‘Trutton’ and learn that the park is in trouble.  Your challenge is to help Trutton save the park before its too late by navigating the park, solving puzzles and interacting with characters throughout.  The game provides a beautifully illustrated map of the park, with your location being represented by an Avatar, who moves as you move around the map.

Gameplay takes about an hour to complete, making the game an ideal day out for families, and provides a perfect opportunity to get the kids off the couch and out exploring a magical world in their local park.  Currently the Hidden Park supports the following locations:

• Melbourne Botanical Gardens, Australia
• Sydney Botanical Gardens, Australia
• High Park, Toronto, Canada
• Boston Common, Boston, USA
• Central Park, New York, USA
• Kensington Gardens, London, UK
• Tokyo Ueno Park, Tokyo, Japan
• Englischer Garten, Munich, Germany
• Zoological and Botanical Gardens, Hong Kong

The Hidden Park is available on the App Store for $6.99 and comes highly recommended.

More information is available at TheHiddenPark.com.

Take a photo, shake your iPhone and magic fairies appear everywhere around you.  Save the photo to your camera roll, and you can print the pictures for your kids.

[self.popupPreviewView release];
self.popupPreviewView = nil;

The best way to solve this (that I’ve found – please post a comment if you can provide a better one) is to remove the view from it’s superview rather than release it:

[self.popupPreviewView removeFromSuperview];
self.popupPreviewView = nil;
