List of iPhone ipsw firmware files (yes, downgrading from iOS 4.0.1 to 3.1.3)

So I finally decided to downgrade my iPhone 3G from iOS 4.0.1 to iPhone OS 3.1.3. For some reason, Apple does not keep the old ipsw restore files easy to find and most posts on Internet are missing a link to them. Here is a list of some of them: iPhone 3.1.3 firmware for iPhone [...]

Titanium Developer: love and hate (Part II)

For the last four weeks and despite other projects and deadlines, I’ve been working on a mobile app for iPhone and Android, using Titanium Developer from Appcelerator. I still hate it. And I still love it. More to come…

List of iPhone SDK & XCode packages

Lately I’ve been developing Android and iPhone apps with Titanium Developer and also switching from on Mac to another. At the end I ended up with a computer that only had the latest iOS 4 SDK. Thus, I couldn’t compile anymore apps for my 3G iPhone with OS 3.1.3. Fortunately, the old versions of XCode [...]

Titanium Developer: love and hate

I’ve been using Titanium Developer for a while now, since I installed it to do some mobile app research one or two months ago. But up until now I barely used it again other than to maintain a desktop app I created for a game, which thanks to Titanium runs in both Mac and PC. [...]

Place this code on your ViewController: – (void)showReloadButton {   UIBarButtonItem *refreshItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]     initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh             [...]

iPhone 3.0 geolocation with Javascript

I was watching one of the video tutorials from Apple last night about some custom JS available on Safari, only on the iPhone 3.0, that let’s you interact with the phone and obtain data like the current location, etc. So I built a little page to see how it works. I included Mootools 1.2.3 from [...]

Handling events on iPhone webapps

This week I have been working on a website for iPhone phones and I have discovered some interesting things about events. I am using plain Javascript, with no third party libraries, so I don’t know if they have any fix for these issues or if they affect them. For example, a couple of days ago [...]

Detecting iPhone’s orientation

Detecting the iPhone’s orientation on a website is very easy: the only thing needed is a little bit of Javascript to listen to the onorientationchange event: window.onorientationchange = function() {   if (window.orientation)     document.body.setAttribute('class', 'landscape');   else     document.body.setAttribute('class', 'portrait'); } window.onload = function() {   window.onorientationchange(); } The window.orientation variable can [...]
