Hi All,

I’m a but rusty on this since I haven’t had to worry about it for a while as I’ve been working on Mac.

I have an active Apple Developer account.

I have an iOS app that I’d like to send to someone for testing. How do I go about doing this, the last time I had to do something like this you assigned someone as a Tester which allowed them to run a copy of the App for 30 days or some such.

Is this still possible? If someone could point to the right tool or documentation for this I’d be really grateful.

Thanks in advance.

All the Best

I’ve been looking over the pro and cons of using storyboards and for the life of me I can’t see what is gained by using them? I thought it would make development quicker but actually I don’t think that do you save time using a Storyboard. IMO, using old old fashioned NIB and code is the same or quicker than using a NIB that the while thing is so much more maintainable and reliable. Unless I’m missing something……

Hi,

I have an Image that has a transparent background, the foreground image is made up totally of the (NSColor blackColor), is this an easy way to replace the “blackColor” with another Color? As an example:

I have a Letter “A” in a 128 x 128 image, the “A” is Black and the background is transparent, I want to change the Colour (in the same way as you would change the colour by changing a Text Attribute).

Thanks for any insights!

Hi,

This makes it work:

-(NSImage*) resizeImage:(NSImage*) theImage withImageRect:(NSRect) theImageRect
{
CGImageRef myCGImageRef;
NSImage* myImage;

myCGImageRef = [theImage CGImageForProposedRect:&theImageRect context:NULL hints:nil];
myImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithCGImage:myCGImageRef size:theImageRect.size];
self.image = myImage;

return myImage;
}


-(void) layoutViewWithOldSuperviewSize:(NSSize) theOldSuperViewSize
{
NSRect myBoundingRect;
NSRect myFrameRect;
NSImage* myImage;

myBoundingRect = self.superview.bounds;
myFrameRect = NSInsetRect(myBoundingRect,2,2);
myImage = [self resizeImage:self.image withImageRect:myFrameRect];
self.image = myImage;

self.frame = myFrameRect;
}



-(void) resizeWithOldSuperviewSize:(NSSize) theOldSuperViewSize
{
[super resizeWithOldSuperviewSize:theOldSuperViewSize];

[self layoutViewWithOldSuperviewSize:theOldSuperViewSize];
}

Also you need:

self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;

Somewhere in the initialisation.


Hope this helps someone along the way.

If anyone know of a better/faster solution then please let me know!

Ahhhh, found something interesting:

Then resizeWithOldSuperviewSize gets called!!! BUT the image no longer resizes inside the Image View. Is there a way I can so this manually?

I did the resizing in the viewDidEndLiveResize method and it does resize correctly, but the problem is that the image stays at the old size until the User stops re-sizing the window (e.g. mouseUp’s) and then it resizes them, which won’t do!

I’ll keep digging!

I’ve not found anything obvious on this, so I’m trying to get to the bottom of why the auto-resizing mechanism is not working with Class that inherits from NSImageView called GameImageView. An object is created and added to the view hierarchy at run time.

The view hierarchy is actually setup in a Storyboard/NIB and looks something like this:

WindowTrackerView
GameBaseView
TopAreaView
BottomAreaView
LeftAreaView
RightAreaView
GameBoardView
GameClusterView1
GameCellView1
GameCellView2
GameCellViewN
GameClusterView2
GameCellView1
GameCellView2
GameCellViewN
GameClusterViewN
GameCellView1
GameCellView2
GameCellViewN


I am adding  GameImageView to each of the GameCellView's at runtime. All the Views are now using resizeWithOldSuperviewSize to resize themselves and it works wonderfully EXCEPT then this mechanism is not working on the run-time added GameImageView’s, e.g. GameImageView ::resizeWithOldSuperviewSize never gets called, although it does get called in the GameCellView’s.

If I do this in the GameCellView:: resizeWithOldSuperviewSize method it works ok (e.g. the Image resized when I resize the window):

myCellStartPosition = [self getCellXYPosition];

myBoundingRect = self.superview.bounds;
myFrameRect = [self calculateFrameRectWithSuperViewRect:myBoundingRect];

myFrameRect.origin.x = (int) (3 + (myCellStartPosition.x * (myFrameRect.size.width + 2)));
myFrameRect.origin.y = (int) (3 + (myCellStartPosition.y * (myFrameRect.size.height + 2)));

self.frame = myFrameRect;

//**
//**  Setup the Image View Frame based on the Cell’s view   *********************
//**
myImageFrameRect = NSInsetRect(self.bounds,2,2);
self.pCellImageView.frame = myImageFrameRect;

e.g. if I set the the frame of the GameImageView in the Superclass it works ok. If I don’t do this expecting GameCellView:: resizeWithOldSuperviewSize to be called then the image does NOT resize, since it isn’t called!! I’m trying to understand why this doesn’t work as expected, I’m not doing anything different (apart from adding it as a subview at runtime) from the other classes in the hierarchy and they all work wonderfully.

I’ve more or less got it working, but this last part is driving me nuts, so if anyone can shed some light on what could be going wrong I’m be really grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I’m using Manual Layout on a Mac project. The View Hierarchy is built in Interface Builder and during run time I add a subview to one of the views. However, resizeWithOldSuperviewSize is not being called on these subviews. The subview in question is a subclass of NSImageView. 

I’ve explicitly set autoresizesSubviews = YES in the view that adds the subview (actually is all the views in the Hierarchy).

Anyone have half an idea why resizeWithOldSuperviewSize is not being called? The frame of the parent rectangle is definitely being set…..
