Episode 29, recorded Saturday, March 17th, 2012. New iPad finally in people’s hands, exciting updates for our favorite compiler and some problems arise for developers making magazine/catalog-style apps. Ad Show Notes George Hotz, aka Geohot, who came to fame for jail breaking and hacking the PS3, was arrested en route to South-by-Southwest because he was in possession of a large amount of weed.  He was set free after paying a $1500 bail. So he didn’t need to employ his mad “jailbreaking skills”. Apple more than doubled the size an app can have to be still able to download it over cellular data. It went from 20 MB to 50 MB and was confirmed that this is indeed the case for iPad and iPhone apps alike. Yesterday I downloaded a couple of apps in the field – yeah really, “in the field” because I was downloading stargazing apps on a field while out walking my dog. On the second app I tried on my iPhone 4S I got the message that it is larger then 50 MB. So that proves that. Apple’s App Store Team has announced two new functionality’s for your In-App Purchases and wants to make sure you are aware of them. Application Loader now features Mass In-App Purchase Delivery – Application Loader 2.5.1 allows you create and deliver In-App Purchases for multiple apps simultaneously by importing a spreadsheet of your In-App Purchase metadata. Application Loader and the Application Loader User Guide are available in the Manage Your Applications module on iTunes Connect. Improved In-App Purchase iTunes Connect Searching and Sorting – To manage your In-App Purchases more easily, you can now search and sort by their status on iTunes Connect. Additionally, you will no longer see the Ready for Sale status for your In-App Purchases on iTunes Connect. The Ready for Sale status has been changed to Approved. Approved In-App Purchases have been reviewed and are ready to go live on the App Store. As of Xcode 4.3 LLDB replaced GDB as the default debugger for new projects. Unfortunately there seems to be a bug in LLDB that causes it to display wrong or no contents for same variables. Apple has confirmed that this is a bug. Chris Lattern, Apple’s compiler head honcho stated on the forum: “Unfortunately, I don’t really know of a good workaround other than switching back to GDB :(.  It will definitely be fixed in the mountain lion tools (Xcode 4.4)” So if you are unlucky and see this issue occur with your code, then you will should switch back to gdb for the time being. Morgan Stanley thinks that Apple might go as high as $960 by March next year, reports Fortune. This is of interest to us for two reasons. 1) We are not Apple employees, so we don’t get stock options. But we can still directly participate from Apple’s growth if we invest a few of these monthly app store payments in Apple stock. 2) If Apple’s valuation grows, so do our markets. Morgan Stanley’s Katy Huberty explains it this way: 1) Enterprise tablet adoption combined with demand upside from lower-priced iPad. The pace of enterprise tablet adoption is exceeding expectations, according to our January 2012 CIO survey. Fifty-six percent of US companies already purchase tablets for corporate use, compared to a 51% expected penetration a year ago. Assuming Apple maintains its 80% share of the enterprise tablet market, iPad purchases by enterprises could account for 9 million units and $5 billion in iPad revenue in CY12. This is in addition to consumer purchases of iPads, some of which will also be used in the enterprise. 2) iPhone estimates don’t credit Apple for the potential share gains when it launches an LTE-capable device in 2H12. Our supply chain checks suggest Apple’s sixth generation iPhone could include several changes that, in our view, will increase the upgrade rate relative to past product cycles. In particular, iPhone 5 is likely to include a higher-resolution and potentially thinner screen, new casing material, faster processor, and quad-mode baseband chip that works on multiple flavors o...
