Hi Everyone, I made an Xcode project template for old v1.5 IOS apps to work with Xcode 4.5 & IOS6. Using the template I can quickly get my apps updated and working with rotations and no errors or warnings. Supports iPhone 5 screen size as well. Also, there is a short INSTRUCTIONS.txt file included. This should make it very easy to update your v1.5 apps for IOS 6 using Xcode 4.5. download link https://dl.dropbox.com/u/39276137/yourappname_v15_iOS6.zip Please note that 2.0 and plugins is the future and much better... but it does help to be able to update older v1.5 IOS apps. Hope this helps ian

Awesome! Thanks so much for this template. It will be useful for one of my 1.5 apps that I've been hesitant to change.. On to the next, thanks again :)

Most welcome! Let me know how it goes and if I should update anything. Should be smoothe sailing:)

Nice done ianjamespiano.

Hi Ian James, Wow, this is so cool!! Excellent job. Going to try and convert a 1.5 project the next day, then if all goes well will update the pdf to incorporate the wonderful code you've created. Tell you this it'll make peoples life sooo much easier than before. Great Job!

Thanks Ian, well done.

This helped so much...I however get this error no matter what I do. Do you have any idea how to fix it? Thanks ld: file is universal (3 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv7s slice: /Users/lsills81/Desktop/TR Ford KP iPhone/BT_Objects/TwitterOAuth/SAOAuthTwitterEngine/libOAuth.a for architecture armv7s clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This helped so much...I however get this error no matter what I do. Do you have any idea how to fix it or could you point me in the right direction? ld: file is universal (3 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv7s slice: /Users/lsills81/Desktop/TR Ford KP iPhone/BT_Objects/TwitterOAuth/SAOAuthTwitterEngine/libOAuth.a for architecture armv7s clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) I am using Xcode 4.5.2. I have one BT Project separated into an iPad version and an iPhone version. The iPad version runs fine on my iPad, but the iPhone version displays the above error when I try run it on my iPhone. The iPhone BT version builds fine and will run in the simulator. I have tried to change the Deployment Target but that only effects the depreciation errors. My Architecture is set for Standard (armv7, armv7s), Base SDK Lastest iOS and just iOS 6.0. Also, if I try and rename the project name in Xcode it will crash. Has done this 10 times. I reinstalled Xcode and reinstalled Mt Lion but didn't fix. Thank you for your help. ********sorry about the triple post!

Hi Isills81, Sorry for the delay, in Build Settings is your : Build Active Architecture Only Yes what is iPhone IOS?

Thanks for the fast response. I am trying this on a iP4, 4S, and 5. I tried that on the debug and release alternating from Yes to No. This didn't change anything. Any other ideas?

Hi Isills81, Be back at computer in a bit to check it out:) Ian

Hi again, Try deleting armv7s from the list of valid architectures and just leave armv7 curious to see what happens? keep us posted:) ian

Here is the error that came up ONLY armv7s... No architectures to compile for (ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=YES, active arch=armv7s, VALID_ARCHS=armv7). And here is what came up with ONLY armv7 ld: file is universal (3 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv7s slice: /Users/lsills81/Desktop/TR Ford KP iPhone/BT_Objects/TwitterOAuth/SAOAuthTwitterEngine/libOAuth.a for architecture armv7s clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Got it.....I had to change EVERYTHING to armv7 in both Architectures & Valid Architectures!!!! Thank you very VERY much for the help. I have used your help to design and build the app that I currently have on the app store. Thank you AGAIN for your help. If you have any plugins I will be purchasing all of them for all of the help you bring to the Buzztouch community!!!

Nice work Isills81! I have the TR Ford app on my iPad. That's yours right? I will be looking for the update! Cheers! ian

It is... the update to the iPad will be only for some Add support. I was really only concerned with iPhone 5 support. On a side not: What do you dislike (if you have time in the next few days) about the app. What can I change (other then the size of icons on the bottom Tab on the iPad version) to add more functionality and more professionalism. Also, do you know anything about AirPrint? I have that included in the app (from @MGoBlue tutorial) but only prints the first page. Thank you VERY much.

Hmmm haven't played with AirPrint. Will try to look into it. Will get a better look at your TR Ford app in a bit:) keep u posted! ian

Hi Isills81, Just realized it was the iPhone version I had on my iPad, downloading Ipad version now. The app is 60mb. there must be alot of pics and vids? Users will have to be on WIFI to download app. that cool? Still downloading so will report back with more info:) ian

TR Ford (ipad) Besides the app size i like the look and layout a lot. Has a pro feel to it. Maybe in the top nav bar instead of "Text Us" it could read "Message us" since it's sending as an email. maybe it sends as text from iPhone? Clever making an arrow pointing to the Mail icon:) Overall I like it a lot. I would revisit the image sizes. u could get this app down to 10mb or less I bet. Let me know if you need assistance with that ian

Let me know what you think of this idea.... If you install the app on an iPhone you have data so make it as small as possible so the user can download the app over carrier service. If you install the app on your iPad chances are you do NOT have a data plan as a vast majority are WiFi only.... well if the user is on the app store to download the app I should get ALLLL the data onto the iPad while it has a data connection. Also, as you may have noticed there are VERY detailed spec sheets on all the vehicles. The dealership has to PAY for the booklets that customers look at for 15 seconds then trash.... so my thought process was to lock down a few iPads and use them as interactive info sheets just like at the Apple Store does, placed on/in metal stands next to all the cars in the show room :P Words typed in a forum can NOT fully express my gratitude for all that you, and others like yourself, have given to help beginning developers like myself. My utmost respect and thanks again for all the guidance I have received.

Cool, I see your point. If the dealership staff is using it then the 60mb ipad version isn't a big deal. Are the images PDF? Jpeg? Totally get it, and keeping the graphics super high quality is important I'm sure for sales. Sounds like a plan! Is that your intention is for the app to mainly be used in showrooms? Also, right now the TR Video doesn't play? and no Icons in the Tabs along the bottom? Thanks for the kind words and thanks for the support!

There are images, PDF's and a video (fixed the link for the final update too) I am doing so updating right now. I haven't sold the app to the dealership yet, I work there....I am one of the finance officers. I am pushing final update tonight to fix that, I apparently hosted my config file with an incorrect URL so when I save it the app knows there is a update but can't get it....does that sound correct? What kills me is that the tab bar icons are there when you first install it. They are too big anyway, I am surprised Apple didn't say anything. My intent is for customer retention, customers getting direct contact with an internet manager, uploading docs to the finance department, direct access to a secure credit app, print service coupons, full information for customers and sales staff (Ford is REALLY hard on salesmen about product knowledge), social (Google Reviews, Facebook, Twitter).

Yes that sounds correct regarding the incorrect URL in the config.txt file. Sounds like the app will cover all your intentions, cool. I know the AirPrint thing is still buggy. hmm. will see what I can find out. Only other thing is maybe making the iPad menu text and rows bigger? just a thought as long as we're nit picking. Overall I still really like the look and feel of the app. Have you showed it to the dealership yet? keep us posted, great stuff! ian ps. Have you checked out the Membership stuff yet?

I have a paid self hosted server. I started this a out 9 months ago. I am jut using this for testing. At my dealership we sent out 20,000 pieces of direct mail and I added a QR code to the direct mail to incorporate downloading my app and how it will get the customer to the online credit app to get pre-approved. I am adding iAds too so we'll see how that works. Thanks for the tips.

Awesome strategy.nice use of QR code. The Membership is for self-hosted as well. You get all the Benefits and pay a lot less. You definitely want to become a Member, You will not lose anything, just gain more.and pay less with the new Membership pricing. This is not a sales pitch. Just friendly advice:) Push Notifications coming soon too. Great for customer interaction. Keep me posted, let me know if you need me to test and critique. Overall the app is killer! ian

I'm happy to pay $29 for the service. I feel like a that is a ridiculously low amount. As for push...I've been using Parse for my notifications. Great service and easy to include the SDK in a BT project. I could always use the advice and criticism of a professional. I really could use a helping nudge with including the SDK for Geoloqi. https://developers.geoloqi.com/ios This would help me out a lot... Like I would paypal for this help!

Hi lsills81, I haven't forgotten about you. Busy around here right now. I will be getting back to you about the Geoloqi SDK. Again, great work on the app. I even came your user video on youtube for it. Sounds like a BT success story to me! ian

I see what you mean about the membership... DONE. Look for an update on both iPad and iPhone versions... Also, thank you for even looking into my Geoloqi pains, not really a big rush. I am taking some Obj C and iOS online tutorials so I "SHOULD" be able to simply include the SDK. I have managed to link an app to the website, and added their methods to my implementation file for a partial connection to their website. When I run the app I can see it connecting to the user login part of the Geoloqi website. This really would be HUGE for me so I would be willing to pay (as trite as that may sound) for this help because it requires intimate knowledge of iOS and Xcode. I registered for the Webinar, excited for this!!!

Hi Isills81, Here is the AirPrint Update by MGoBlue https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=F7D97EB3E0777F64B4A4415&tid=F7D97EB3E0777F64B4A4415 Have u made any progress with Geoloqi?

@ian WOW dude can't believe you remembered that. Thank you very much! As for Geoloqi I dropped the idea with them and am going to use the features of Parse since I have that working already in my app. As soon as I get channels and locations setup for Parse I will make a tutorial for it.

Awesome Isills81! And of course I remembered:) Great work Ian
