Is there a perfect way to use iOS Framework template instead of static library now?

Since iOS8 and Xcode6 has release for a year, I have still cannot find a canonical tutorial for using Framwork template (iOS Universal Framework Mk 8) to develope a static library.

Even though the most popular Repo I think, kstenerud/iOS-Universal-Framework, has shut down when iOS8 Framework release.

---

However, when I try to develope a Static Framework I got ton of issues to resolve:

1. I still have to do lipo for x86_64, i386, arm64, amrv7;
2. remove Code signature from Framework;
3. Build a resource bundle and import it to app project independent;
4. Framework Info.plist and modules seem useless;
5. Still a little worried if Apple will refuse my app since use a Static Framework.

Is there a good tutorial for building and using Static Framework? Any help will be appreciated! Thx.

I get error when I add a UITableView

I have a static UITableView, and in one of the cells, I have a dynamic UITableView. Here is the code I used:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell;

    if (self.tableView == tableView) {
        cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    }
    else {
        UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
        [cell.textLabel setText:self.tagsArray [indexPath.row]];
    }
    return cell;
}

When I run the app, it crashes with the following error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'UITableView dataSource must return a cell from tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:'

How to retrieve part of JSON file?

it's possible by using IF to retrieve some parts of JSON not all of it in Objective-C. like i want to retrieve just those data when Gender equals Male

[
  {
    "name":"A",
    "gender":"Male",
    "age":20
  },
  {
    "name":"B",
    "gender":"Female",
    "age":12
  },
 {
    "name":"C",
    "gender":"Male",
    "age":20
  }
]

any idea would be appreciated.

Changing the status bar color on UISearchController

I'm trying to change iOS 8 search bar status bar color but I tried the UIStatusBarStyleLightContent with no luck anyone knows a better way?

Get the number of lines in UILabel iOS8

I'm seeing lots of deprecated answers for this question:

How do I calculate the number of lines in use in a UILabel based of its set text?

I know that I need to set the UILabel to have bounds that resize with word wrapping. In this way, I could detect the height of my UILabel and adjust an NSLayoutConstraint for the height of my UITableViewCell. Basically my problem plain and simple is:

How can I determine my UILabel's number of lines in use(based of descriptionLabel.text) or height in order to resize My UITableView's UITableViewCells which contain my UILabel.

Currently I have used this code:

descriptionLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 30, 270, 65)];
descriptionLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
descriptionLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
descriptionLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;

What is the point of a nil AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer in a Swift closure?

I was reading the different ways to parse REST API calls in Swift and came across the following:

var url : String = "http://ift.tt/1tENtnZ"
var request : NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest()
request.URL = NSURL(string: url)
request.HTTPMethod = "GET"

NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue(), completionHandler:{ (response:NSURLResponse!, data: NSData!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
    var error: AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSError?> = nil
    let jsonResult: NSDictionary! = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options:NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: error) as? NSDictionary

    if (jsonResult != nil) {
        // process jsonResult
    } else {
       // couldn't load JSON, look at error
    }


})

The one line that makes no sense to me is var error: AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSError?> = nil. We already captured our NSError parameter and stored it in a variable called error, and now we're overwriting that and making it nil in our first line in the closure? Or if somehow Swift then performs a downcast of the error from type NSError! to AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSError?>, then can someone explain how that happens?

Thanks!

UITextInputCurrentInputModeDidChangeNotification return nill in ios 8.3

I want to detect current input mode of keyboard, and change text direction with respect to it (rtl if arabic, and ltr if english) in viewDidLoad:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(changeInputMode:)
                                             name:UITextInputCurrentInputModeDidChangeNotification object:nil];

} and in changeInputMode:

-(void)changeInputMode:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    UITextInputMode *thisInputMode = [notification object];

    NSLog(@"inputMethod=%@",thisInputMode);
}

but thisInputMode is nill! if I use this code instead:

    NSString *inputMethod = [[UITextInputMode currentInputMode] primaryLanguage];
    NSLog(@"inputMethod=%@",inputMethod);

it works fine and detects current password, but currentInputMode is deprecated. why [notification object] returns nill?
