Single line UITextView
The standard behaviour of the UITextView automatically resets the contentInset property to 32, which causes strange behaviour if you just want an UITextView with a single line. On responding the cursor disappears in the negative content area. The solution is simple. Just subclass the UITextView and force overwrite the property contentInset with UIEdgeInsetsZero. It just acts like an UITextField now. The SMS.app for example uses this behaviour for text-input with the ability to enter multiple lines.

WWDC 2010 in San Francisco
Sonico Mobile is going to attend the World Wide Developers conference in San Francisco. We are looking forward to meet a lot of iPhone developers and Apple engineers from all over the world.
I Just had a look at the Sessions & Labs section. They provide a lot of useful informations about new techniques and frameworks of iPhone OS 4.0. I hope that we can take a look at some new products like the iPhone 4th generation or something

Early iPad adopters
If you are an early adopter of the iPad, you get this error when accessing the App Store on the device .. “The App Store is not supported in this country”
The solution is a little work around, but not difficult.
Sonico Mobile got 2 iPads for development
We ordered two iPads from US for development. Programming on simulator and on a device are two very different animals. With the simulator alone you cannot check the performance and user experience very well .. so this is the beginning of real iPad development.
