Gadget Techie

Today I was programming in Xcode and realized that every time I ran my programs, I would get these weird messages in the debugger console. They didn’t break anything or cause the program to end prematurely but it made the compile and run process take longer and flooded the console with the weird message “unable to read unknown load command 0×80000022″.

At first I blamed my program (being that I am new to Objective-C) but after a while of this happening I realized that it couldn’t be my fault. I did a search online and found other people that were having the same problem. Turns out that there is a new version of Xcode and the iPhone SDK specifically made for Snow Leopard. The Xcode version goes up to 3.2 while the iPhone SDK remains 3.0 but loses the ability to develop for older iPhone OS’ (like 2.x). The new Xcode also comes with some new features, a new splash screen, and I believe it is now 64-bit (judging by the “About Xcode” window pictured below).

The new splash screen seems to be a lot more useful than the old one and has a list of your recent projects on it. Here you can see all the programs I have been working on while reading the Hillegass and Kochan books.

I really wish the update would come through as a Software Update but I guess I will just have to keep looking in the Apple Developer site for updates.
