XCode/Archiving: Uploading Archive Problem

How's going, everybody?


Well, here's a quick tip on what can help you when you get the dreadful error while you're uploading your archive to the store:




'iPhone/iPod Touch: application executable is missing a required architecture. At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present'

This is a error that really sucks because, dudes! The last thing after 120 hours working on your code is an error for uploading the thing. But here is what you do:

1)Select your project "stuff" up there;
2)Select the "PROJECT" option;
3)Go to "Architectures";
4)Press on top of the up-and-down arrow;
5)Inserting the "armv6" thing:
    5.1) Delete any option that you have there:
        5.1.1)Select the option;
        5.1.2)Press the "-";
    5.2) Press the "+";
    5.3) Insert the "armv6";
    5.4) Probably you'll need to press some type of confirmation.




That's it.
Cheers.

Objective-C/Cocoa: Star Rating Class

Hi breathers,


How's it all going?
It's been a time since i posted, so here's some nice stuff.


Know all those games that rate you after the match(e.g. Angry Birds) with the star system-thing, so i made on very simple so you just need to copy and paste on your project.


Download: StarRate Class (WARNING: Very Huge Dowload - 3K)


Probably you'll would like to add other sizes of banners, so just feel free to use the class as you want.


Oh, yeah! One last thing. I know this is a stupid comment, but remember you're not going to use it directly on the  "-(void)viewDidLoad". Normally you'll use it when the match is ended and on the "level" boxes to display the last rate the player had on that match/level.


After you import the code to your project you have to do this:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

#import "StarRate.h"

@interface StarTestViewController : UIViewController{

    StarRate *_stars;

}

@end

#import "StarTestViewController.h"

@implementation StarTestViewController

-(void)createStars{

    _stars = [[StarRate alloc]init];

    //THIS setBackgroundColor YOU CAN ADD TO THE CLASS I UPLOADED FOR YOU

    //ON THE -(void)startUp METHOD

    [_stars setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

    [_stars setupInterfaceTheWayIWantWithType:STARBANNER_250X50 andRate:2];

    [_stars setCenter:CGPointMake(160, 240)];

    [self.view addSubview:_stars];

}

-(void)viewDidLoad{

    [self createStars];

    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

    [super viewDidLoad];

}

(...)

@end

As you can see, i didn't use InterfaceBuilder, i'm kind of on strike with him, so fell free to use InterfaceBuilder if you want, you just need to remember how to inherit a normal UIView to StareRate.

If you need help, just go to the Contact Section and let me know.

Live long and prosper.

Cocos2D: Press&Hold button

Hey, sports!


Today the time is really really short, so I made an example and uploaded it.
It's no a virus or anything, it's a project that can help you when you need to make action like this:


1)Press button;
2)Wish that it would increase/decrease a "number label";
3)Release button;
4)Action stop right after releasing




                                           here's the link:

Hasta la vista, dudes.
