  • Jared Brown write Quick Shot, an app that added a number of cool features to the iPhone camera.

     

    Apple has decided to strictly enforce their SDK guidelines with the release of 3.0, leaving potentially millions of iPhone users with applications that will not be compatible with iPhone OS 3.0. Maybe you are already aware of this, but I had not seen anything written on Techcrunch and thought it was compelling enough to bring to your attention.

     

    Our company, Code Monkeys at Work, produces an application, Quick Shot. It’s a camera application, not unlike Night Camera. It has been live in the App Store since mid-Feb. When the 3.0 beta came out we updated it to be compatible and submitted it. Each time we submit an update to Quick Shot we cross our fingers, since we always get a different reviewer who takes issue with features/graphics/text that were already approved in earlier versions. Although this time when it got rejected it caught us by complete surprise.

    We received this response from Apple,

     

    “Unfortunately, there is no way to work around your rejection at this
     time. You were rejected because UIImagePickerController has not been
     documented…”

Now, you may read this and go "oh, not another rumour", but this is some real, replicatatble evidence found in the iPhone SDK (3.0, beta 5).

Google Chrome can now be built and used natively on Mac OS X. While it is far from stable and ready for daily use, it is stable enough for the Chrome Developers to use it to dogfood basic browser functionality. Chrome on mac works similar to the one on windows, with one process spawned per tab, which you can monitor using Activity Monitor. It also adheres to the Mac design principles with the menu bar on top unlike its windows cousin. Chrome hasn’t lost any of its speed in its port to OS X. A cold start is blindingly fast and web sites load quickly. On SunSpider benchmark the latest chrome build is far ahead of Firefox 3.0 and slightly ahead of Safari 4 Beta. It also beats the latest Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 scores on windows. Finally Firefox and Safari has some real competition on OS X. Opera never caught the fancy of web developers, but chrome has generated tremendous interest among mac users and is poised to capture some market share when it is polished and ready. If you want to take Chrome for Mac for a spin you can download (old version OR new versions) the application I have compiled. You need an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”). I plan to update it once every week or if a new update is published to the mac status page.. You can follow techsutra on twitter to get updated when new build are available.
