plist

I have written an application which loads information from a plist which lies on my server (I hope this is OK with Apple :-)). The application runs smooth on WiFi but when using it on 3G the load times are a little too long. Therefore I would like to optimize the loading of my plist. I imagine that I could store a copy of the plist on the device and only check if the remote plist has changed and if so, download it. I am not sure if this will be less data and therefore minimize the load time and I'm not even sure how this would be written in code. Does anyone have an idea how I can minimize the

I have the following code that loads a plist file from the resource folder and uses it to populate a tableview: NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"AnimeDB" ofType:@"plist"]; NSMutableArray* tmpArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path]; self.dataList1 = tmpArray; [tmpArray release]; But I need to load this .plist file from an url. I tried some solutions that I found on the net, but I couldn't manage to get it working. Does someone know how can i do this? Maybe there's an easy solution, but I'm at the beginning with xcode (this is my first app), so I can

Problem: A library I use won't support ARC (Automatic Reference Counting). Background (for those unfamiliar to ARC): http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#releasenotes/ObjectiveC/RN-TransitioningToARC/_index.html Manual Solution: Add the -fno-objc-arc option for each implementation file of the library, and otherwise use ARC normally in my application code. Observation: The following template file can be copied and most likely be used to either turn ARC completely ON or OFF (without adding the compiler flags above -- the in-between solution that I need): "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS

I have an application that read info from I plist file. To do it I use this code below: NSData *plistData; NSString *error; NSPropertyListFormat format; id plist; localizedPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"settings" ofType:@"plist"]; plistData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:localizedPath]; plist = [NSPropertyListSerialization propertyListFromData:plistData mutabilityOption:NSPropertyListImmutable format:&format errorDescription:&error]; if (!plist) { NSLog(@"Error reading plist from file '%s', error = '%s'", [localizedPath UTF8String], [error UTF8String]); [error release]; }

I followed this guide to implementing build numbers in an XCode iPhone project ( guide ). I tried it and I am getting the wrong build number when NSLogging. It's not updating correctly and is always one or two numbers behind the info.plist. I need it to be the same number. Anyone know why this is happening? i.e "[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBuildNumber"]" is not the same as the plist's CFBuildNumber. The script is set to run first, before copy bundle resources and everything. This is the output and info.plist numbers I get: Application Version: 1.0 Build No: 52
