Adding jQuery to an iPhone project in XCode

You might think that if you add the jquery js file to your project, you can build and reference it from html you load into a UIWebView. That’s what I thought too. Here are the steps you need to take.

1. Add the jquery file to resources. Drag the file in, right-click and choose to add an existing file. Whatever you are comfortable with.

2. The file will be automatically added as source code. In Xcode under Targets, expand the target you are working on and you’ll find two groups, “Copy Bundle Resources” and “Compile Resources”.

3. Drag the file from the “Compile Sources” group

to the “Copy Bundle Resources” group.

This tells Xcode to package the file up and include it with your app as a resource instead of compiling it.

4. Include the reference to jQuery in your HTML.

html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><head><script type='text/javascript' src='jquery-1.4.2.min.js'></script></head><body>%@</body></html>", body];

5. Set the baseURL using the path to your jQuery file.

[myWebView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@”jquery-1.4.2.min.js” ofType:nil]]];

That’s it. You can now make jQuery calls in your code.

Was the app store closing over the holidays used to do a major overhaul of the approval process? JamSession was submitted yesterday morning, and today I got an email that it is ready for sale. I was expecting 2-4 weeks. Actually, I was hoping it wouldn’t be longer than 4 weeks due to a backlog from the holidays. See for yourself:

We’ve got an exciting new product that was submitted to the app store today. JamSession is an app that you can use to practice playing with a band – even if your band isn’t available. Just plug in your headphones or your sound system, and play along. Check out these awesome graphics by c1design.com:
