I had issues with missing screenshots in the Apple AppStore when viewed from my iPhone, here's the response from Apple support;The reason you are not seeing all uploaded screenshots on the iPhone App Store is because you have uploaded a mix of standard-resolution and high-resolution screenshots in iTunes Connect. Only the high-resolution screenshots will display on the iPhone 4 with retina

I've been tinkering with my latest game concept and I needed to move my enemy sprites to a given location.  To do this I thought the simplest way to achieve this was by using the the CCMoveTo action class. Here's the code I used to start with; [enemySprite runAction:[CCMoveTo actionWithDuration:2.0f  position:CGPointMake(size.width/2,size.height/2)]]; Now this works perfectly well, apart from

I’ve been tinkering with the idea of a game using some form of music metering.On my googling I came across the CocosDenshion Metering Demo created by Fancy Rat Studios. Unfortunately the version on the website did not work with V0.99.5 as the CocosDenshion code has been changed since the original demo was written.So for your delight I have updated the original code to work with V0.99.5 of

Phew that took me a long time to work out!!I wanted to start writing some blogs to help other developers. To do this I need to be able to add images to my entries, so I’ve spent the last hour trying to work out how to configure MacJournal to upload images to my website’s ftp location in a separate folder.It shouldn’t have been that difficult, but I couldn’t for the life of me work out what to

One of the main problems of App development is getting your App noticed.   This can be a big hurdle for a new developer such as myself.  My first iPhone App Orbz was  released over a year ago and didn't get much traction in it's initial release period, I put this down to me not understanding the App Store release process and lack of experience. I ended up making Orbz free just to get some

There is one thing that all iOS developers should do, and that is to become an affiliate with iTunes. This simple task could, in fact, make you more money for doing hardly anything! Apart from a few hours to register and then changing your website links to your Apps within iTunes.To register all you need to do is go to Apple’s affiliate website and follow the simple instructions. Once you have

Well I forgot that I had MacJournal on my Mac as I’d never needed to use it for anything, but then I thought, “I wonder if MacJournal will allow me to create my Blog entries?”Apparently it can, so I’ve decided to give it a quick try, so this is what this post is for. If this works then I will need to learn how MacJournal works, and how to add images, videos and other types of rich media to my

I had a very long day yesterday! This was down to the fact that I've been reading up a little on SEO techniques for my website. My main website was originally built using iWeb '09, part of the iLife suite, however, the first two items, in the SEO articles I'm reading, advised me to change the page titles and insert keyword meta-tags. Unfortunately, although I think iWeb is a very easy website

My latest game ‘Chained’ has been released to the App Store. It’s a match-3 type game where you have to match shapes together by drawing lines between them using your finger. There are three modes of game play, solo mode, duel mode and blaze mode. Read More >
