I have faced very strange bug in my application where I show list of news from remote server.
I have 2 languages - english as main, and russian as supplementary. My server has two json files, for eng and ru localisations.
When requesting for data from server I do language check like this:
let preferredLanguage = NSLocale.preferredLanguages[0]
if preferredLanguage == "uk" || preferredLanguage == "ru" {
requestLink = RequestLinks.secondDateProgram.rawValue
} else {
requestLink = RequestLinksEng.secondDateProgram.rawValue
}
And this all system works fine, correct link being generated and request shows correct data, all works fine but ONLY on my iPhone 7.
When I install and launch exactly the same app version (from TestFlight or Diawi) on any other device my list of news in russian version of app for some reason has first item from english json file. But when I switch phone to english - everything works fine.
I don't have any cache, and I don't store any news to Realm. I do manual cache cleaning before each request and still the same - on my iPhone it works fine, on other nope(tested on iphone 7 plus, and 11).
If anyone had same issue before - would be grateful for any help.
My problem was here - let preferredLanguage = NSLocale.preferredLanguages[0]
This detects Application language, but not iPhone's, that's why I got english instead of russian.
Changing it to NSLocale.current.languageCode did the trick.

I have an app that I'd like to be able to get the localized string for a certain key, regardless of what my current localization on the iPhone is.
I have the following in an en.lproj localized strings file
"Black" = "Black";
In the es.lproj localized strings file I have
"Black" = "Negro";
So what I would like to do is get the Spanish string when my phone is in the US and set up accordingly
I'm using the following code:
let bpath:String = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("es", ofType: "lproj")! as String
let bundle = NSBundle(path: bpath as String)
let thisWord="Black"
let ourWord=NSLocalizedString(thisWord, bundle: bundle!, comment: "")
I'm expecting to get "Negro" in the value for ourWord, but I always get "Black"
Am I missing something obvious?
Localization settings apply based on the settings you set in your phone not the location. If your phone is setup to display an Application Language of Spanish then you will see the appropriate string. To configure Application Language settings so you can test this you need to edit your Scheme.
In Xcode 7.1+ Goto Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme
Then change the Application Language and/or Region to simulate what a user would see who has an iPhone configured for a region or language other than English in the US.
(Switch it to Spanish and then debug the app on the device again to see the updated localized strings).
Actually my code works fine. I had made the stupid mistake of not setting the "Localizable.strings" file as localized.
Feeling pretty dumb right now
I have a bunch of buttons that opens the default map application and puts something in the users system clipboard. It works fine on Android tablets, but the Iphone does nothing when the button is clicked. Here is the code:
case "MapYummyYummy":
System.setClipboard( "1665 Stelton Rd Piscataway Nj 08901" )
_callURL = "geo: 40.4978922, -74.4488224";
var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_callURL);
navigateToURL(targetURL);
break;
Does anyone know the equivalent for this that will work on Iphone devices? thanks!
Have you tried this setData method? (I have no experience with this one, but looks like a viable alternative).

Querying for a location:

Hope it works for ya (looked up not tested).
I'm getting this error when I press a button in a flash/air app that used to work in the AIR 3.2 SDK - now upgraded to the AIR 3.5 SDK. Any help much appreciated.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at seed_template_fla::MainTimeline/frame7()[seed_template_fla.MainTimeline::frame7:31]
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()

I'm creating an app for iPhone using Flash CS6 on Mac and exporting using the Air 3.5 SDK. I also have the AIR 3.5 runtime installed.
The app is very simple at the moment. It basically moves from frame to frame when you press a button using the gotoAndPlay(frameNr) function. There are some hexes on the frames that update an array of numbers when clicked. They are also toggled visible/not visible.
This used to work perfectly using the AIR 3.2 SDK, but I recently downloaded the AIR 3.5 SDK from adobe and added it through flash (Help>Manage Air SDK) and set it as the build target in File>Publish Settings>Target.
When I switch back to AIR 3.2 SDK, the app works perfectly again.
Also, when I upload the app to my iPhone 4S running IOS 5.1 using AIR 3.5 SDK, I just see a black screen with 5 loading dots flashing. This also works fine with AIR 3.2 SDK.
This is the code for frame 7
The last line is line 31.
stop();
techtitle.text = "Select Trait";
techdesc.text = "Spend points to change core stats and other special abilities";
points.visible = false;
techpoints.visible=false;
pointsbalance.text = myPoints.toString();
btn_tech.visible = false;
curTechSelected = null;
trace("set hexes invisible");
for (var j:int = 0; j <= 67; j++) {
if (hexStatusb[j] == 1) {
this["btn_hex_"+j+"b"].visible = false;
}
}
function onBtnHex37bClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
techtitle.text = "tech1";
techdesc.text = "tech1 description"
techpoints.text = "-2";
points.visible = true;
techpoints.visible=true;
btn_tech.visible = true;
curTechSelected = btn_hex_37b;
curTechSelectedNr = 37;
curTechPoints = 2;
}
trace(this["btn_hex_37b"]);
btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);
OK - so, after trying out lots of things, I figured out why this is happening.
Solution: get rid of all TFL text objects when running AIR 3.5 SDK
It seems that the TFL Text library wasn't being loaded properly at runtime. Something crucial that I neglected to mention was that I was getting this warning message (similar here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/825637)
Content will not stream... The runtime shared libraries being preloaded are textLayout_1.0.0.05... TFLText
and this warning message in the output
Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml. The 'secure' attribute is only permitted in HTTPS and socket policy files.
Simply removing all TFLText objects and changing them to classic text makes the app work fine again.
#csomakk Great news. I have found the answer. You can publish in 3.5 and 3.6 and have your TLF Text too. I posted a write-up on my blog that shows exactly how to do it.
To get started: the error message states that something is null.. it means, that the program doesn't know, where to look for it. It can happen, when you didn't create the object (btn_hex_37b = new MovieClip()); or you haven't even created a variable for it.
on the given line (btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);) only btn_hex_37b can be null, because onBtnHex37bClick exists, and if it wouldn't, the program wouldn't compile.
The reason it came up when switching to AIR 3.5 is probably that it calls some creation functions in different order. Go to the line where you define the btn_hex_37b variable. Search for that functions calling.. Make sure, that btn_hex_37b is created before going to frame7.
Also, if its not a vital, to have onBtn_hex_37bClick, you can do the following:
if(btn_hex_37b){
btn_hex_37b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBtnHex37bClick);
}
the if will check if btn_hex_37b is not null.
On the else method, you can give a timeouted method(but that is ugly), or give the eventlistener right after the creation of the object.
Hope this helped.
For Flash CS6, copy this swc:

I have this posted on PhoneGap google groups and cross-posted it here on Stack Overflow.
Anyway, PhoneGap's Contact API is giving me headache lately. To cut it short:
Environment
iOS 6
PhoneGap 2.0.0
I have this application that scans a QR code with VCard embeded, and it will save it into user's contact once the user agree to save it down. On Android 4.1.2, this piece of code works flawlessly without any error, and contact was saved too. On iOS 6, however, I can't get it to work. What I have always receive is error #4, which is, ContactError.IO_ERROR.
The code is as below:
navigator.notification.confirm('Found a contact: "'+(vcard['N'] || '')+'". Add it into your contact list?', function(btn) {
if (btn == 1) {
var contact = navigator.contacts.create();
contact.displayName = vcard['N'] || '';
contact.emails = [new ContactField('email', vcard['EMAIL'] || '')];
var org = new ContactOrganization();
org.name = vcard['ORG'] || '';
contact.organizations = [org];
contact.save(function() {
navigator.notification.alert('Contact Saved');
}, function(err) {
navigator.notification.alert('Error on saving contact: '+err.code);
});
}
}, 'QR Code Scanner', 'OK,Cancel');
And below is the only log I have seen on XCode right after I tap on 'OK': (first callback is for the notification.confirm)
2012-10-22 21:19:24.619 [11897:907] PluginResult:toJSONString - {"status":1,"message":1,"keepCallback":false}
2012-10-22 21:19:24.621 [11897:907] PluginResult toSuccessCallbackString: cordova.callbackSuccess('Notification12',{"status":1,"message":1,"keepCallback":false});
2012-10-22 21:19:24.738 [11897:907] PluginResult:toJSONString - {"status":9,"message":4,"keepCallback":false}
2012-10-22 21:19:24.739 [11897:907] PluginResult toErrorCallbackString: cordova.callbackError('Contacts13',{"status":9,"message":4,"keepCallback":false});
Then I will see the alert:
Error on saving contact: 4
Note
vcard is a key-value pair of vcard obj. Please ignore this for now. It's not important.
This piece of code works fine on android.
Is this the correct way of creating contact? How can you save a contact on iOS 6 using PhoneGap?
Edit
I did all the necessary migration and upgraded to v2.1.0, but the error code still emerges. Why is this?
Edit
Apparently this has something to do with the new AddressBook permissions request on iOS 6 as mentioned by Mark, but no one has answered me on how to do it properly. Spent some times on research I came to a conclusion that it's best if we can just wait for Phonegap to finish up v2.2 as I saw permission request being added in CDVContacts.m in v2.2 rc2 commit 61857860...
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-902
Currently crashes if the user does not have AddressBook permission on iOS 6.
The user will get a popup dialog similar to the Geolocation permissions dialog. When creating an address book, we should handle the condition where the app does not have permission, and the address book returned is NULL.
i've had the same problem. As it turns out, i was using phonegap version 1.9, which did not support iOS 6, therefore adding a contact gave me Error 4 message all the time. To fix this, i upgraded to phonegap version 2.1. This version supports iOS 6 as well as both armv6 and armv7 architectures. The error message was because iOS 6 requires permissions to access the address book, in the same way that using the GPS requires permission on iOS. This should solve your problem, it did for me :)
Hi blackberry developers,
I am implemented one application targeted to OS6 and above.
Here i am loading url which is contain some Indian (Gujarathi) language into the browserField.
Here My problem is that text displaying some devices correctly but not all.
it is showing text properly in Bold 9780 OS6, But Tourch 9800 OS7 is not showing properly.It is showing only Rectangular Boxes.
So i need to know that is my devise support gujarathi language are not first.
I am using some code to get list of available languages
Locale []loc1=Locale.getAvailableInputLocales();
for(int i=0;i<loc1.length;i++)
{
System.out.println("=====1: "+loc1[i].getLanguage()+"======"+loc1[i].getDisplayLanguage());
RichTextField rh1=new RichTextField("ISO: "+loc1[i].getLanguage()+"==name: "+loc1[i].getDisplayLanguage(),Field.FOCUSABLE);
add(rh1);
}
String []loc2=Locale.getISOLanguages();
for(int i=0;i<loc2.length;i++)
{
System.out.println("=====2: "+loc2[i]);
RichTextField rh2=new RichTextField("ISO: "+loc2[i],Field.FOCUSABLE);
add(rh2);
}
in both cases it is displaying as attachment.
And strange thing is that in both array's i am not finding any language named as "Gujarathi" or "gu(ISO code)". But perfectly displaying data on my 9780 but 9800 not showing.
So Here i want to know what is the reason behind this ?
1) If suppose my devise is supporting "Gujarathi" Language then why it is not showing it's name in Locale.getISOLanguages(); or Locale.getAvailableInputLocales();?
2)How can we know that current device can support required language language?
I also tried using desktop-manager--->Applications------->available languages even here also i am not finding anything related to indian languages
I need to give answer to Client that what is the reason behind this ?
I goggled for 12Hrs. But no use So i decided that you are my only hope?
