example Apps not being removed from iphone

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi,

I don’t know what I am doing that the example Apps I am trying are not getting deleted and others do not even show up in itunes but its there on the iphone.

The sequence of how I am doing it is:

  1. I open itunes and click on Apps, then I drag the example app to itunes.

  2. switch over to iphone on itunes, go to apps and do a sync. It is there that I try to delete the previous version and it does on that screen but when I sync again, they are still on the iphone.

Anybody else having this problem? [import]uid: 95689 topic_id: 17791 reply_id: 317791[/import]

This doesn’t sound like a Corona issue.

Could you just delete them from your phone itself?

You may want to consider using Xcode to transfer your apps rather than iTunes when you’re testing; it’s much faster :wink:

Thanks for responding Peach,

How do you load a Corona app from xcode? How do you delete an app from the iphone, I just know how to do it from itunes. Sorry for the trouble but pretty new.

Thanks

Spoke too soon.

I found a document here under resources that explains how to use xcode with Corona. I am reading it.

Thanks

Tried following the document but there is no “custom toolbar”.

Xcode makes a directory where the Corona project is, then Corona says it does not recognize those files.

Hey there, sorry, we’re in different time zones I believe.

First up - Xcode.

Plug your phone in via USB and open Xcode.

Go to the Organizer window in Xcode. (Shortcut is to press CMD+Shift+2)

You’ll see your phone listed on the left, click on it. If there’s a button like “enable for developing” or something to that effect, click it. If Xcode wants to gather info, let it.

Then you should be able to drag and drop your app (the file produced by Corona) onto your phone in the list to the left and have it add to your phone.

To delete an app from your phone is much easier/faster than using iTunes.

Hold your finger down on any app icon for a moment and all icons will start to “jiggle” and have red Xs appear in their corners. Tap one of these Xs to delete the app.

Let me know how you go :slight_smile:

Great,

Thanks Peach, you are the best !

OK, the organizer window in xcode. I was trying to start a new project and it got nasty.

I was also trying to use the editor in xcode but you don’t see the syntax coloring, even after I tried the fix that is listed here. It only works with xcode 3 not 4.2

Deleting apps from iphone, is super now.

If you don’t mind could I ask you the questions from my other posts here.

  1. I am trying to use Google Places and be able to check in. The API for it and Google maps is not what Corona uses for its maps that is, I don’t think Places has been incorporated into Corona yet only Maps, correct. So how do I bring Places into Corona?

  2. I am also trying Pub NuB and it seems to work but only through their console(dashboard). After the checkin with Google Places I want to publish different players data through Pub Nub. Any idea how to do this?

Thanks Peach !!

Hey there,

No worries :slight_smile:

  1. No, Corona has not incorporated this yet. You could post a request to do so in the feature request section, though.

  2. Because answer 1 was a no question 2 is somewhat void. (Because you can’t use checkin yet.) Sorry :frowning:
