Comment on The quest for a better UIAlertView by Falko

Thank you very much for that article. Actually, I really love both approaches. I agree with you to better not take the first one. But there are circumstances, where you basically have no choice (or I don’t see it).

I want to show a message box right on startup when my app has been called via an URL handler. But if I show the message box in

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

But do not block until the user clicks, the method returns and there is no way to build the UI afterwards (e.g. in the alertView delegate).

Comment on Xcode/iPhone error 0xE8000001: problem and fix by KP

Marc, Your comments seem to be the only practical approach to this error code that I have read. However I am a newby and not an IT guru so implementing your fix is foreign. So not sure how to begin fixing – do I copy past your commands into the CMD prompt or via explorer.

Kind regards Kevin

[...] UIAlertView By Marc, on June 9th, 2010 One of the things that has annoyed me while developing my iPhone game “Wordly” are dialogs that appear modal to the user, but are non-blocking from the programmer perspective. [...]
