    Also, I’ve been kind of forced to get into the habit of designing everything on paper, then creating the header, then linking outlets and actions before even opening the .m file. I hope this helps, I had to do a lot of research to figure this one out. Also,? THANKS BUCKY! I wouldn’t know anything about Java,Python,UDK, C++ or Obj without your tuts! Good show!

    @oscarsimpson70 Hey man, I had the same problem. I’m reasonably sure that the problem was in the? header file where he was declaring his IBOutlets. They must have changed something but here’s the deal. Consider:

    @interface ViewController : UIViewController{
    IBOutlet Class *Object;
    }
    @properties (retain) Class *Object

    Bucky called IBObject in the @properties rather than including it in the header. The version he was using probably was build like that but they changed it in 3.2 I think.

    When I drag? (4:06), it doesn’t recognise the label, and it’s not the code because I used the code off the forums. Please can someone tell me how to fix this. Thanks

    for guys using Xcode 4.1 :
    you have to press “alt” when connecting the buttons’ “Touch Up Inside” and the? File’s Owner
    I also put the “housekeeping stuff” in the ViewController.m equal to the one in Bucky’s code
    Hope i could help you :D

    @TexasRable
    I did? it and it works, so I don’t know why he created the interim NSString…

  15. 459luker says:
    February 23, 2012 at 4:44 pm

    @ReyCeb Thats what i thought… It seemed like the whole thing with ‘newLabelText’ was pointless because you can just assign the text directly from the titleForState, and so im a little confused as to why he did it the long way. Maybe to show the use of variables?

    Dont get me wrong though, love the videos they are? fuckin quality.

  16. ReyCeb says:
    February 23, 2012 at 5:07 pm

    this is the simple? way:
    labeltext.text = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
    because the method “titleForState” return a NSString object :)

    Good tutorials, watched them till? 1. The slower pace makes it easer for beginner programmers to follow this. I think this app could have been done in one vid. But it would not have been this thorough. Good work! and thanks for sharing!

  20. TexasRable says:
    February 23, 2012 at 7:57 pm

    you could set the labelsText.text? = titleOfButton on the clicked action, couldn’t you??

    @CoD6QuIcKScOpEs After you double click? the .xib file, you a new window will open up. And after you’ve got the right column up, there is a box just similar to 1:42 drag a label from that box into the .xib box just like Bucky does at 0:50.

    Learning to build mobile apps is not an easy endeavor. It can be done, but you must have the drive & aptitude (plus the? time) to overcome the challenges. If you are looking to create a mobile app for your business (or idea), you probably should hire a qualified professional.
    I? know many talented (& affordable) app developers (freelancers & agencies). I’d be happy to provide an introduction.

    you don’t need to make a 57 x 57 png icon. if you use any image file at any size? it will automatically scale it down and round out the edges. just FYI =)

    Anyone who doesn’t have the cash for photoshop, use Gimp. It’s free and is easy to?
    use.

    @vancar6 try to touch the screen of the iphone simulator with the mouse. Just like touching it with your finger. Then move your mouse exactly like the sliding of? your finger to your left and your icon will appear.

    How to PREVENT the gloss effect:

    In the appname-Info.plist file, press the little “add line” button.
    Type in “Icon already includes gloss effects” on the left, and then press enter.
    On the right, tick the box next to “Icon already includes gloss effects”

    Build and run…
    Icon no longer has gloss.? Just untick to add gloss again.
