Brackets – HTML/CSS/JS editor written in HTML/CSS/JS

Gareth Noon posted link to this amazing tool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvo3Mv1Z4qU

This tool allows to edit css file in line of HTML file. So basically if you’re looking into you body tag, you tool will find all related css parts for you to edit in-line. Just few weeks ago it would save us (Me and Tor) at least few hours of work when we were editing JQuery CSS files.

There are no final version yet (developers claims that they are using this same tool to develop the tool itself for quite some time already, so it should be quite good), but it’s available on git https://github.com/adobe/brackets

Didn’t have time to try it out now, but definitely will and provide a feedback here.

edit:

With help of Gareth forced it to run:

Unable to Download error with iOS ad-hoc over the air distribution

Trying to install an enterprise app on an iPhone and iPad from my web server. The iPhone worked fine but the iPad was failing with the above error message. Me and Justas racked our brains and lost many sleepless minutes trying to figure out what was wrong.

After losing all hope, I tracked down the problem to a simple casing issue. Specifically, the icon image for the iPad, which had a capital letter in the name on the server but I typed the name in lowercase in the plist file. So, actually the ipa, the plist could be downloaded fine, but the download failed for the icon.

Correcting the case of the icon fixed the problem and the app is downloading now. So, be very careful with your paths and if you have this error, check you can download all the resources from a web browser from your server, the icons, the ipa, the plist files.

Cheers,

iOS 6 In-App Purchase – access any content from iTunes store

The Store Kit framework (StoreKit.framework) now supports the purchasing of iTunes content inside your app and provides support for having downloadable content hosted on Apple servers. With in-app content purchases, you present a view controller that lets users purchase apps, music, books, and other iTunes content directly from within your app. You identify the items you want to make available for purchase but the rest of the transaction is handled for you by Store Kit.

Prior to iOS 6, you were responsible for managing any downloadable content made available through in app purchase. Hosted downloads now simplify the work you need to do to make content available to users. The new SKDownload class represents a downloadable piece of content. In addition, theSKPaymentTransaction class has been modified to provide an array of download objects for any hosted content. To download a piece of content, you queue a download object on the payment queue. When the download completes, your payment queue observer is notified.

For more information about the classes of the Store Kit framework, see Store Kit Framework Reference.
