APNS for .Net

-
This took me forever to figure out but I finally pieced it all together from the minor clues people left. You need to download the certificate for the APPID that you register on the developer portal. That certificate must be converted into a P12 format to be used on Windows. These commands in UNIX finally did it for me:

Step 1 : 

      openssl x509 -in aps_developer_identity.cer -inform DER -outaps_developer_identity.pem -outform PEM}


Step 2 :

    openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out APSCertificates.pem -inAPSCertificates.p12

Step 3:

   openssl pkcs12 -export -in aps_developer_identity.pem -outaps_developer_identity.p12 -inkey APSCertificates.pem


Then:

You will be prompted a few times for the password you used to export the certificate and private key in Keychain and prompted again for new passwords to re-encrypt it all, but in the end you will have the file aps_developer_identity.p12 which you need to move to windows, then import it into both the Personal and Trusted Root sections of certificate manager in MMC. Then in C# when you use MoonAPNS and call the PushNotification class you give it a path to that certificate. Also make sure to remove spaces from the device token.

    As far as I know, this technology is also used for programming applications that run in the cloud. That is why I am very glad to use the services https://grapeup.com/services/ because I know that they are of the highest quality and help me in my everyday work.

iOS Architecture

I am pretty sure that even a few experienced iOS developers would have a hard time defining the iOS SDK in one sentence. The acronym  SDK  stands for  Software Development Kit . The iOS SDK contains the tools and resources to develop native iOS applications, which means that the SDK enables developers to develop, install, run, and test applications in the simulator and on physical devices. The two driving forces powering native iOS applications are Swift (or Objective-C) and the native iOS system frameworks. In the previous articles, we explored the Swift programming language. In this article, I want to explore the frameworks that power native iOS applications. You now know what the iOS SDK is, but what makes an application qualify as a native iOS application? The simple answer is that an iOS application is an application that runs on an iOS device. That's only half the truth, though. What about web applications that run in Safari? An iOS application is a Cocoa application

Property vs Instance Variable (iVar) in Objective-c [Small Concept but Great Understanding..]

-
Do you use properties or instance variables to store something inside an object? Let’s understand what is better and when. I think the subject is much less arguable if it’s about getting/setting some data from outside the class (right, properties should be used). So in this post we will focus on private and protected class members. Does it matter? It might sound not that important – why can’t we just make a random decision and stick to it? Well, properties / ivars are something that is used all the time. I think it’s a good practice to sometimes pay attention to how we do common tasks. It’s natural, and it’s a good way to increase efficiency as well – even a slight improvement sums up to something quite significant within time.  Performance Obviously, using properties will cost you some CPU because additional methods get called. But this is so insignificant in 99.99% of the cases! And for the rest 0.01% – use ivars, but be aware that the improvement you get is almost nothin

setNeedsLayout vs layoutIfNeeded Explained

-
Let’s take a look at the difference between  setNeedsLayout  and  layoutIfNeeded . As part of the normal startup process,  UIApplication  in iOS starts the main run loop for an app, which runs on the main thread. The main run loop processes events (such as user touches) and handles updates to view-based interfaces. As events occur, such as touch, location updates, motion, and multimedia control, the run loop finds the appropriate handler for the events, calling appropriate methods, which call other methods, and so on. At some moment in time, all events will have been handled and control will return to the run loop. Let’s label this point where control is returned to the run loop as the  update cycle , since this is how Apple refers to it in some of their documentation. You could use other terminology to conceptualize it, such as a break in the action, the redraw cycle, or a free moment. While events are being processed and dispatched, and as changes to views are requested, they a
