Out at my current client we are using jenkins as our CI environment which also launches our UIAutomation tests via Instruments CLI. Recently in OS X it looks like apple tightened up the program security so that you will be prompted for something like…
“Developer Tools Access is trying to take control of another process. Type your password to allow this.”
This post follows on from my previous post Using multiple UIWindows in iOS applications but I will cover the specific issue I encountered when VoiceOver mode is on.
I have been working on an application that makes use of multiple UIWindows within its view heirachy, mostly because it is quite a secure application and so the easiest way for us to block access to the app is to present a UIWindow above all other windows in the app.
I have been playing around with using multiple UIWindows in an iOS application at my current client for the last few days and thought I would share what I perceive to be the pro’s and con’s. I will cover the technical challenges / observations I have witnessed when using UIWindows that sit above UIAlertViews when accessibility / VoiceOver mode is on in another post otherwise it will get lost.
Well I guess a couple of the reasons would be that maybe you want to display a view that shows above system UIAlertViews, can cover the default keyboard or even make your app look like it is modifying the statusbar like Reeder.
A really nice way to pretty up git logs!
Over the last week I have been playing around with the Keychain that comes with iOS to share data between multiple apps. I stumbled upon UICKeyChainStore which makes using the Keychain super simple.
There are plenty of posts out there that cover simply using the Keychain but not that many cover sharing data between apps. So that is exactly what this post will be about. Sharing data between your iOS apps via the Keychain. Read More…
A couple of months ago I was doing some iOS work at Sensis with regards to the Yellow Pages iPad app + SAPI integration. Rochana Attale and I needed to come up with a way to make it easy to hook up UI Automation acceptance tests written in Jasmine to our Jenkins CI environment. Please keep in mind at the time the zucchini testing framework wasn’t released which is why we put together our own solution.
And to be fair what we put together has worked out quite well. It is a bit rough around the edges but at the same time extremely quick to get acceptance tests up and running.
