iOS 4.1 adds HDR to camera app

Posted by Dan on 2010/09/02 1 comments

One thing that piqued my interest from today’s Apple Event was the addition of HDR photography in iOS 4.1, being an iOS developer I grabbed the 4.1 GM and loaded it on to my iPhone 4, see an example of a photo taken in my home office

Click the images to see them at full resolution…

You can definitely see a big improvement in the HDR photo, the original photo is overexposed all over the place, granted neither image is spectacular but I certainly can’t see a downside in enabling the feature.

I was talking to one of my brother-in-laws last Sunday about image stacking and HDR and today I get HDR built into my phone…. Sweet!!

CodeSign error: a valid provisioning profile is required

This is the error message that has been plaguing me for a few days.

What triggered it was replacing my provisioning profiles and certificates.

Fortunately I found an answer in the following blog post

UITabBarController refusing to rotate

Posted by Dan on 2009/02/09 None comments

I was struggling for some hours on an issue with an App I’m writing for the iPhone.

For some reason I could not get any of the views to rotate to landscape, the API docs suggested that this was trivial and only required implementing the method

(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

and always returning YES

The problem is that this doesn’t work if you are using a TabBarController created in Interface Builder. You can verify this by create a new project, specifying the type as “Tab Bar Application” and rotating the simulator…

I found a quick and easy solution to this problem in the following blog post

Change iPhone/iPod app orientation within a UITabBarController

I added maybe a dozen lines of code to my app and the problem is solved….

Thanks Arash…
