Getting Growl Framework to link properly against a Plugin Bundle in Xcode

Add the following as a Build Phase Run Script. Borrowed from GrowlMail, except quotes were added around the arguments to install_name_tool since our project has a space in the name.

install_name_tool -change "@executable_path/../Frameworks/Growl.framework/Versions/A/Growl" "@loader_path/../Frameworks/Growl.framework/Versions/A/Growl" "$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/$EXECUTABLE_PATH"

install_name_tool -id "@loader_path/../Frameworks/Growl.framework/Versions/A/Growl" "$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/$FULL_PRODUCT_NAME/Contents/Frameworks/Growl.framework/Growl"

Here's a (lengthy) explanation of why this is necessary.

Reason: image not found
This *same* error message persists even if I switch the linker argument to use @loader_path instead of @executable_path (that is, the "Library Not Loaded:" result is the exact same.
The library it's looking for is, in fact, where it is looking for it. Very strange.

ashfurrow / Dual Display Question
Created February 13, 2012 15:07
Problem with Monitors
So I've got a 15" MacBook Pro and a 27" Cinema Display at work. I take my laptop home on occasion and when I come back, ALL of my windows are on the external display (the primary one). I have to move Sparrow, iTunes, and a particular browser window back to the laptop. When I leave, all of my windows are too large for the 15" laptop display.
I'm tired of moving everything over to one display or another whenever I change where I move. I'm looking for an app that will remember my display setup and, when it changes (I plug in or unplug an external monitor), it "remembers" where my windows were the last time my display changed and moves/resizes them.
What app am I looking for?

ashfurrow / Best way to notify View Controller of In-App Purchase
Created February 12, 2012 00:45
Best way to notify View Controller of In-App Purchase
So I have a View Controller that responds to user requests for a non-consumable in-app purchase. The VC invokes a method in the app delegate which serves as the SKProductQueueDelegate, so it'll receive confirmation that the IAP succeeded or not.
My question is: how would you notify the original VC that it should update the UI and unlock the purchased feature? I'm thinking NSNotification but I'm also considering retaining the VC in the app delegate.
