Can someone build me a simple app?

Zythyr — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:45:21 GMT

This app is in reference to the problem I am having, http://www.hackint0sh.org/f127/95668.htm

Because my iphone is water damaged, every time my iPhone goes to standby mode, it will start automatically rebooting nonstop. I found a way around this by going to settings and turning off the automatic standby mode.

But now the problem is that since the phone won't lock down, batteries are draining faster and it starts pocket dialing.

Is there a way someone can building an app, that will kinda lock the phone but not using the same mechanism the default iPhone locking method? Maybe something like when I turn on the App, it will shut the display, then when I want to unlock it, i press the Home button and it will ask me for a code.

So basically this app is a pseudo standby mode. Goal of the app should be to "Shutoff the Display". To "Exit" the app, one would have to press the "Home" button, and a "code or slider bar" would be required to exit that app. If failure to enter code or perform slide bar action, you won't be able to exit app and display would shut off.

I am guessing this would solve my problem of the phone automatically rebooting when the original iphone locking mechanism is used.

launchd kills scripts ran from a SB icon. plist problem?

fubaya — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:37:28 GMT

I have a few bash shell scripts running from SpringBoard icons. A couple just move files around on the phone and work fine, but 3 require a network connection and only 1 works properly (a simple "wget the last line copied"). I think launchd is killing the other two mid-execution.

This is the plist I use on both. The names are different, of course, but the format is the same. I assume this has something to do with the plist.

Code:









CFBundleDevelopmentRegion

        English

        CFBundleExecutable

        nail.sh

        CFBundleIdentifier

        com.foo.nail

        CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion

        6.0

        CFBundleName

        Nail

        CFBundlePackageType

        APPL

        CFBundleSignature

        ????

        CFBundleVersion

        1.0

I have both scripts in /Applications/their.app/their.sh with all the files needed to run them from a SpringBoard icon. If I open MobileTerminal and type /Applications/their.app/their.sh, they both run fine, but both crash when running from a SB icon.

The first is a script using nail (a.k.a. mailx) to send mail through my gmail address with a simple:
#! /bin/sh
echo "some text" | mail "user@address.com"

I have mail set up correctly. Running from Terminal, it sends the mail. Running from an icon, it runs but dumps the mail into /var/mobile/dead.letter (typical mailx failure) and I get an error in syslog. Here are two examples from running it twice, same error except the hex changes every time:

Nov 2 02:48:16 30 com.apple.launchd[1] (UIKitApplication:com.foo.nail[0xc671]): (UIKitApplication:com.foo.nail[0xc671]) Throttling respawn: Will start in 2147483647 seconds

The other script uses wget in a function to download a list of about a dozen webpages which are then processed, but it never gets through all the wgets. It should take about 1 second per page, so around 12-15 seconds to run to the end. It runs for several seconds and downloads most of the pages before dying, and it's not a problem with wgetting the pages. Taking out different pages, moving the order around, pinging the site before the wget... nothing helps. It keeps dying on the 7-8th page. This is in syslog:

So, from what I can figure, they just aren't being launched the way launchd wants, and the SOB is killing them. I've tried reading through launchd and plist docs but for a Linux guy, this stuffs all greek and all seems to be geared around using launchd/launchctl as cron, but I just want these to run at the tap of an icon and not die. Is there a "CFBundlePleaseDontKillMeLaunchd" I should set to "true" in the plist?

Getting my app on my iphone

altmac — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:21:36 GMT

And what i want to know is how do i get my app from the SDK to my iphone, im running a ideneb on vmware and have just done the hello world thing from apple but i have tinkered with it to do exrta stuff. It all works well on the simulator but i now want it on my phone.

Custom URL scheme and shell script question

fubaya — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:17:49 GMT

This is kinda odd, but I've figured out how to make shell scripts run with a custom url. Is there any way to also pass information to the script?

Example: "tel:1234567890" tells the phone app to call that number. Let's say I have "myscript:1234567890". I can get it to run the script, but is it possible to get the number into the script as a variable or argument or something?

Caveat: I'm not a developer and don't know C++ so I'm stuck working with the script and trying different ways of making it take input, but nothing works. It may be impossible.
