NEW PLUGIN: Stop Watch

Hey everyone. I had a few people ask me what I used for the stopwatch section of my Universal Studios app, so I thought I'd bundle it up into a plugin for anyone else that might want it. It's the convenience of a timer bundled into a nice LCD stopwatch skin. The buttons on the stopwatch are fully functional where thy physical buttons would be on a real stopwatch, so your app users will already feel comfortable with the controls. Supports semi-background tasking (up to apples device limits). See screenshots here: https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=F8CD3C028C8C11FFCE478CB Stop Watch is a handy timer that resembles the real thing, offering familiar functionality to your app users. Simple start, stop and reset buttons at the top of the watch count down the hours, minutes and seconds in an awesome looking realistic LCD fashion. The stopwatch will also continue to run in the background, up to Apple’s built in limits (up to 3 minutes if completely exited out of the app, and indefinitely during auto-lock or screen dim). Everything is laid out an a handy XIB file for the ultimate in customization. The background that you see in the screenshots is also included, and visible by default, but if you prefer to use your own apps background, or something else, you can simply remove it from the XIB file. The text instructions printed on the stopwatch itself is also fully editable with just a few clicks.

Learning... slowly but surly. Been up all night with one particular code on another project thats driving me crazy. Converted the project to plugin, taking it out of sub views and putting in a single view... code launches fine, looks perfect... but one function does not work to get location... works perfectly fine in the unconverted code... driving me crazy. No errors or anything... just acts like it's not even there. Checked my outlets, everything is as it should be. Think I'm going to give up on that one :( You win some, and lose some, lol. 8 hours is too long to spend on this one piece of 1 line code that seems to be getting ignored no matter what I try, and it's only a 2 file project with a single page of code on each, lol.

Unfortunately I can't make it this year... I was hoping I could, but have other obligations that week that I can't reschedule :( Hoping to see lots of videos, and live check-ins for those of us that can't make it this year

Good work! I'm hoping to get my first few plugins out soon. I have made a 2.0 plugin before, but I've yet to step-foot with the plugin market and 3.0
