I am about to build an extension where every user has
to grant access on his Evernote account.
I am a bit confused about all this authorization thing,
so I would be glad if someone could give me any advice
about if I can use OAuthorizer on this extension or
whatever he thinks is good to know about it.
Thanks!!
You can consider using OAuthorizer, but I recommend you look into alternatives (and report back if you find them!).
I am using OAuthorizer in version 1.9 of my goo.gl lite extension.
When 1.9 was reviewed, the reviewer expressed concern that I was including another extension within my own (as well as a secondary issue with synchronous HTTP requests within OAuthorizer). I have not resolved these issues yet myself.
Ideally, extension authors could just specify an OAuth library as a dependency, and it would be installed automatically, without requiring copying the library in, or multiple copies if the user had multiple OAuth-using extensions.
In the meantime, "copy it in" is the only option I'm aware of.
Another issue is that OAuthorizer does not seem to be actively developed. The last commit of mozilla/oauthorizer was on Jan 23, 2012. There may be a better or more actively developed library out there.

I am looking for documentation for Ace to do "Floating UI" , i want to to like facebook "Chat Heads". So far there is no documentation only mentioning coming soon , which means avaliable but undocumented right?. Is it already available in github latest master?
They decided to close the support for this project:
As of December 2016, this project is no longer maintained by Microsoft. We built ACE to provide developers with an “escape hatch” to access native code from within JavaScript. After nearly a year in production, we learned that most developers are satisfied with the access granted by Cordova’s Plugin Model. Thus, we’ve discontinued active development. We appreciate your interest in the project and hope you found it exemplary of Microsoft’s commitment to experimentation and open source software. if you're interested in continuing this project, please feel free to fork it. As of December 2016, we will no longer monitor or respond to open issues. You can keep up with other projects from Microsoft’s Cordova team by visiting http://taco.visualstudio.com. Thanks for your support!
I was also looking some plugin to implement "chat heads" in Cordova, without any luck :(
I'll just preface this question by saying I began working with SignalR around 30 hrs ago, so please forgive any amateur questions and feel free to point me to the documentation that I've missed if you know of some. Also, I'm not trying to write a blog post - just explaining the steps I went through to get where I am.
TLDR? skip to the questions at the end...
I need to use the Sql Server Backplane (would love to use Redis but we don't currently deal with Redis and aren't comfortable introducing too many new technologies in one dev cycle). Currently, there isn't a NuGet package available for Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.SqlServer so I have to work with the Github source.
So I went and pulled down the source, compiled and added the reference to Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.SqlServer.dll but now compilation fails (specifically when referencing GlobalHost.DependencyResolver.UseSqlServer( ... ) in my code - it's a dependency conflict where the *.SqlServer code is expecting a more recent version of *.SignalR.Core - not really surprising as Github's version has (no doubt) more than a few changes since the NuGet package was released). :(
So the next step is to use the *.Core which I compiled with *.SqlServer. Next problem - the new SignalR version no longer works with *.Hosting.Common or *.Hosting.AspNet which have been replaced with the *.Owin library.
So, I added *.Owin (and Owin - from NuGet) but now I run into yet another problem: the MapHubs( ... ) extension method no longer works - there are extension methods called MapHubs( IAppBuilder builder, ... ) in Owin but they don't work off the RouteTable anymore - they work of Owin.IAppBuilder (hence the need to reference Owin, I suppose).
So this is where I'm at. I did a quick read-up about Owin (seems like a cool concept) but I don't particularly care to spend some hours getting my head around that just to be able to setup SignalR on the server-side. So, now for the questions:
Should I just try to make *.SqlServer play nice with the older NuGet packages of SignalR (in other words, is it likely that changing the dependencies of *.SqlServer will introduce unreliable behaviour)? Or, is there a version of *.SqlServer which works with the current NuGet release version of SignalR available online already?
What specific steps are needed to run SignalR via the Owin host approach (I can't find any examples for this without, say, Nancy integration thrown in - or is that the correct approach)?
What is the replacement approach for the MapHubs method? Where do I get an IAppBuilder from? Am I even supposed to do so?
In a Google Groups post, David Fowler indicates that, with Owin support, the AspNet dependency is no longer required. That's fine - but is there any reason to use SignalR in an ASP.Net MVC app now?
If no part of SignalR is hosted via IIS on the server, does client-side fallback (i.e. SSE or long-polling) go through IIS or does it use the Owin host independently?
Finally, I was planning to run SignalR off an ASP.Net MVC 4 project being hosted as a virtual directory off another existing site - I want to work within a single domain. With the Owin approach is it still feasible to do this when my site is hosted in IIS 7.5?
UPDATE: As per 1. above, I managed to get the code compiling by making *.SqlServer depend upon the current NuGet *.Core implementation. So now I can continue development. I don't think I want to use this in production though - I only had to make a small change relating to disposing an object - but I just don't think it's a good approach. So my questions around the Owin approach still stand - unless someone can convince me that the approach I've taken is fine.
Thanks,
Zac
Short Answer:
Hopefully this will help others out who have this problem (I'm sure there's at least one of you!): it seems that the question I asked was really badly timed as, a couple of hours after posting, SignalR was updated in NuGet to version 1.0.0-rc1. So, to anyone with the same problem I had - just upgrade the package.
Details:
After installing when you look at the references, you'll notice that there's now a Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.SystemWeb reference. Without having delved into it yet, I'm thinking this is a replacement for *.Hosting.Common and *.Hosting.AspNet because after updating the MapHubs( ... ) extension method works fine.
I also noted that the *.SystemWeb reference depends on *.Owin - so I guess the Owin reference is used as an abstraction layer which allows the SystemWeb hosting to be independent of underlying IIS/other server implementations.
As for the .SqlServer reference, well, that still requires me to compile a version against the NuGet version of *.Core in order to compile locally. I'm going to just work with that for now and hope that the project team release a working version on NuGet sometime in the near-future.
A realistic alternative would be to convince my team that we should throw Redis into the mix - having worked with Redis on other projects, I consider this to be a good option due to performance considerations however it does require Linux which might be a problem for a .Net team...
Recently I've noticed a couple of projects on github that extend the functionality of Xcode 4 via plugins.
Two projects as examples by #olemoritz:
MiniXcode changes the main toolbar.
ColorSense provides overlays to help pick colours.
Both projects are installed into ~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins and Xcode just picks them up.
Are there any sources of documentation (officlal or user generated) on extending Xcode?
Edit: ping #olemortiz ;)
As I wrote those plugins you mentioned, here are some pointers:
There is no official documentation from Apple, so while Xcode does have a plugin infrastructure, it is entirely private API. (but hey, no one wants to submit Xcode plugins to the App Store, right? ;)) – The usual warnings apply: You should code very defensively, and it's possible that Xcode updates break things. Any plugin can bring Xcode down entirely, so be careful.
There is a seemingly abandoned effort to document the plugin interface here.
There are some open source projects that allow you to see what's needed to get a plugin loaded at all, e.g. mine and there's CLITool-Infoplist (I think that's where I got the basic structure from, but I can't really remember, because I've been doing this without publishing anything for quite a while).
You can use class-dump to generate headers from Xcode's private frameworks, e.g. IDEKit and IDEFoundation (in Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks). Reading those gives you quite a bit of information on how Xcode is structured internally. DVTKit and DVTFoundation (in Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks) can also be useful to class-dump.
You can observe all notifications that are sent in Xcode by registering an observer for nil. I initially just logged all those notifications to get an idea of where I might be able to hook into.
Good luck!
There is no formal API or documentation.
Having said that nearly all community plugins are open sourced, use http://alcatraz.io to discover new plugins, then follow their github source code to learn how people are implementing them.
Here are some useful resources:
Use https://github.com/edwardaux/XcodeExplorer to discover the API hook point you need to be poking around.
Look at http://www.blackdogfoundry.com/blog/creating-an-xcode4-plugin/ for a series of posts about building Xcode plugins.
Check https://github.com/kattrali/Xcode-Plugin-Template for a Xcode 6+ template for creating new plugins.
Look at https://github.com/zats/AdjustFontSize-Xcode-Plugin as a good Xcode 7.1+ starting point

I understand why RIMAPPSA2 permission is thrown when signing a BlackBerry application. However, I don't know which classes, functions and/or API requires such permission.
Is there any way to find out (or better a documentation listing that information) ?
Regards,
RIMAPPSA2 permission is required when dealing with Blackberry Controlled APIs. In this particular case, I was definining new classes and redefining existing classes in one of the packages part of the Blackberry Controlled APIs.
Moving my classes to package not controlled by Blackberry Controlled APIs solved the issue.
I have just solved a similar problem for myself. As per my answer on BlackBerry RIMAPPSA2 signing key required — why?. I have updated this answer to help in case of future searches on similar words...
This might be due to a bug in Eclipse or RIM. You might not be using the RIMAPPSA2 classes.
OK, so its hard to believe but this page might fix the problem for some:
Frustrations with Blackberry Developer plugins for Eclipse
Basically its a bug, and by changing the Application Descriptor, saving, removing & re-adding the JAR file, the problem is fixed.
Follow-up #1 - might not work:
The above solution enabled me to build & sign the app. Unfortunately the app won't run on the phone Module 'MyApp" attempts to access a secure API.
Follow-up #2 - this worked for me:
I documented a full solution that worked for me here:
BlackBerry - use own JAR file in own project
In my case, I was importing my own JAR file, and I needed to set that project's build type to be a MIDLET. Setting it as LIBRARY or APPLICATION caused problems.
I'm a novice iOS developer with a basic knowledge of Xcode. I have one app in the app store that I made myself with Titanium. For a next project I've enlisted the help of two more experienced programmers in another city. I have a question in two parts about the collaboration between us:
I want to propose a work routine that gives me access to the project as they are working on it, so that I can device test builds during the development process - without interfering with the coding. What is the best way to do this? Is sharing the project or codebase via Dropbox an option? Does anybody have any experience with this?
Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of when pursuing this kind of work routine?
Thanks!
Use a source control system like Subversion, Git, Mercurial.
XCode has built in support for Subversion/Git.
Use source control. Github is a great place to start. (private repositories will cost money though.)
I used to use DropBox to share code between my two machines, but DropBox would routinely ruin work if I wasnt careful. DropBox is NOT version control. If you do insist in using Dropbox, don't open your code on more than one machine at once. Nuff said.
