Getting NSContactsUsageDescription to work in 10.8.2 - macos

I have an app with a crash reporter that autofills in the user email address by getting it from ABAddressBook. I'm trying to get an informative message of intent in the dialog that 10.8 displays asking the user for permission. Following the advice at http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/2672/can-i-get-your-address , I've added the following to the app's Info.plist:
<key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
<string>blah blah blah</string>
Unfortunately, this is not working. The dialog still asks, but it does not display my description text. I've tried:
Putting this in the crash reporter framework's Info.plist instead of the app's.
Signing the app with my Developer ID cert.
But, alas, no luck. Anyone gotten this to work that can give me a tip as to what I'm doing wrong?

[UPDATE] I found the real reason why restarting helps. It kills the tccd process, which looks like the culprit in charge of displaying the message on that dialog.
So, just open Activity Monitor and kill the tccd process and your new message should just show up next time the dialog shows.
[Old Answer]
I was running into the same problem and wasn't really sure why (I was doing exactly what the documentation said to do). I finally got it working after:
Deleting the container my app was living in (~/Library/Containers/com.company-name.app-name)
Cleaning the build (In Xcode: Product -> Clean)
Restarting my machine (seems a little cargo-cultish, but I think this is what fixed the problem)
Building and running my app
The next time my app tried to access the Address Book API I was presented with the dialog that included my message.
I think Apple must be caching that message somewhere (either the message you want, or an empty string if you ran your code before you had a message to show), and the only way to clear it out is to restart. I tried the first 2 steps many times with no change in the message, even after I got the message working and then tried to change it.

Solution is to run this command in the Terminal:
tccutil reset AddressBook

iOS App development with Facebook API bundle ID error message

I'm developing an iOS App with Facebook API. The app was working fine but I started to get the below error;
"There was an error:fbplatse:{"message": "No Bundle ID has been set on the server" }. Please tap Cancel to return to APPNAME and try again."
Actually I don't think I made any changes to the server. Can you please help me to fix this?
Thanks,
E.
Ok, I solved this problem.
add your app's bundle ID into the 'Native iOS App' tab under 'developers.facebook.com/apps'
Your app's bundle ID should be the same with the one above (Facebook developer page)
After I added up my bundle ID, I started to receive 'com.facebook.sdk error code=2' messages. It is good to check this link which explains everything step by step about the error code and how to get rid of it.
So, in my specific situation following worked; Device's Settings => Facebook and then log in with the credentials.
I spent too much time on that but now it works!
Facebook has updated it's documentation since this post in 2013. They have provided a screenshot showing where to get the bundle identifier. It's not the code with the variable in it from the Info.plist in Supporting Files directory. Rather, tap on the project file in Xcode (the topmost file in the directory) and see General tab (which is open by default).
I've attached a screen grab. Hopefully this helps someone.

CodeIgniter Blank Page

n00b here. After searching the forums I have not yet come across this problem as I am experiencing it.
I have a CI site that was working correctly until about three days ago. My problem is as follows:
On button click - Page Loads correctly.
On Enter press - CI Blank Page of Death loads.
For example: When I login, after the login process has run it must reroute me to the Dashboard, unless I still have a temporary password where I get rerouted to the "Change Password" screen first and then to the Dashboard.
AS LONG AS I USE THE BUTTONS AND CLICK THEM EVERYTHING WORKS.
On ENTER PRESS, I get the Blank Screen of Death.
However, on TAB to BUTTON and then ENTER it works.
The problem is not consistent however. I have some processes that do not have views attached and NONE of them will run - hit ENTER and get blank. They are all failing on ENTER PRESS.
I am slowly going off my trolley. Logging is ON, Directories for cache and logs are 775. NOTHING is showing in my logs...
First Try to active error handlers for displaying of errors for addittional info to post here what error is occuring..
// change settings for error handler to show errors
// $this setup is used for checking errors for development to be shown....
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
by the way if your using CI version 2 higher
you can see it in its index.php file an configuration for displaying error also.
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development'); //just set up environtment to development
Even though there are accepted answers I wanted to add a way that worked for me to figure out this problem.
Usually the "Blank Page" indicates a PHP parsing error somewhere in the code. Strange thing for me was that on my local MAMP based test server the code ran fine. I FTP it to my hosted server and all of a sudden, blank page of death.
Even though I had errors on, log errors on, display errors on, nothing appears in any log file.
I was able to find the error by a funny little trick. I added an echo line in CodeIgniter.php in the system/core. Obviously hacking the core was not a great idea but all I wanted to do was to see how far it was getting in the load process.
When my echo appeared after trying to load a page on the remote hosted server it also displayed the parsing problem in a derived controller! Not sure why the error did not come out without the "echo" added. But adding it seemed to trigger some output to be generated, IE my echo line and the PHP parse error was appended.
Not sure if this will help anyone but it turned out to be a nice easy way to find the error which only showed on the remote server.
Obviously, don't forget to put your core file back to its original state without the echo.
This was fixed by copying the application into a fresh CI 2.3 install.
I have no idea what actually caused this "erratic" behaviour.
The application worked correctly as designed whenever a BUTTON was CLICKED but gave the blank death screen when ENTER was PRESSED.
This inconsistent behaviour is what threw me. The fact that my logs (CI and APACHE) also showed nothing was also very strange. Had this been a parse error, surely the behaviour on "Click" and on "Enter Press" should have been the same.
My non-view controllers for various ad-hoc admin jobs are now also working correctly, which they were not before, as they use "Enter Press" (having no buttons to "Click").
I am still going to invite best guesses as to why this behaviour occurred the way it did.
Surely someone out there (Phil Sturgeon et al) with extensive CI experience has encountered this non-consistent blank screen behaviour and knows what caused it.
Thank you to all the people who took the time and effort to assist me!!!
Big UP!!! StackOverflow!!!
probably error in INCLUDE login.php
My problem was Apache stop working because of ...Skype! Skype actually work on the same 443 and Apache didn't start! I hate this Skype! Bring me nuts for a while.
Installing php5-pgsql worked for me

Unable to process application Info.plist validation at this time due to a general / IO error [duplicate]

I am creating a newsstand application. the application is ready, now i am trying to upload the app in apple store using Application Loader. While uploading the zip file its showing the error message as
Unable to process application info.plist validation at this time due to a general error (1095)
I googled this in the net, but did not find the solution still.
This is clearly an Apple server issue, not an Xcode/iOS/OSX issue. Just wait patiently and Apple's servers will catch up to the traffic, or solve whatever issues they're having at their end.
If you're anxious, feel free to just sit there and restart Xcode until it works - but it's not restarting Xcode, only the time you waste that's solving the issue.
While you're waiting, run your apps in Instruments and solve some performance issues ;)
I just had this error. I waited an hour and tried again with the exact same build and it was all good. Vote for it being Apple's temporary glitch.
I had the same problem. I closed Xcode, restart my computer and it worked.
One possible problem to this is corrupted png files. The png files should not be interlaced
I found a solution to the problem.
If you're using Xcode 4+, you don't have to use Application Loader anymore. Instead you should archive your project in Xcode (Product->Archive). It will then open the organizer, where 3 buttons are displayed. Hit the submit button.
If you've created an entry for your app with Itunes Connect, you should be able to choose that from the list, and then select your distribution profile. Then hit the next button, and you should get a message, that tells you, that your app has been submitted.
At least that worked for me.
Use Application Loader.
I'm getting this a lot today.
Application Loader worked.
XCode > Project > Archive
XCode > Organizer > Distribute > Enterprise/add Hoc > Save As
Saves as YOURAPP.ipa.
Make sure Save for Enterprise Deploy remains UNCHECKED.
Download latest Application Loader.
tap 'Deliver Your App'
make sure new version in itunes connect in WAITING FOR UPLOAD state
Click on Activity... button
TIP: open Console.app to see XCode Validation errors
Click on ALL MESSAGE on list of logs on right.
Then in search enter 'XCode' or 'Application Loader'
to monitor any errors with your upload.
Note:
I did all this and still got email about missing 120x120 icons.
Forgot to update them in Build Target > General Tab
List of new icon requirements for iOS7
http://www.icenium.com/resources/forums/icenium-general-discussion/missing-recommended-icon-file
Another reason why this can happen is the duplicate product name. Despite your app names, executable names, display names or bundle IDs are different, if the product name exists in your current apps this error is gonna occur.
"The server returned an invalid response. This may indicate that a network proxy is interfering with communication, or that Apple servers are having issues. Please try your request again later.""
Reset The internet connection.
Reopen the xcode.
Set the profile again.
Clean build.
And Archive the build.
Works perfect for me (With in 5 minutes no need to wait).
Thanks
It's just the time, because you can't control Apple's Server's traffic problem, We all merely become the victim of that..So cut the long story short...
By restarting XCODE may work but everyone as in my case, i tried by restarting XCODE, SYSTEM, ROUTER and anything and everything possible, only error name had changed from "The network connection was lost" to "The request timed out" and vice Versa..!
Just think at what time less people would be accessing the sever...
PS: Only perseverance can help you in this way..keep redialing..And WAIT and WATCH:P
I solved ... :)
Please remove all your icons and splash image also remove icon Files and icons File( IOS 5 ) from info.plist and then add all your icons to app bundle ...
After this update info.plist iconFiles field add desired name of icons....
And last but not least remove Provisioning profile from developer portal and recreate it ...
Clean your build and Archive it and using Application Loader submit it to AppStore ...
it work for me and i think it may help you...
Not every time not it is Apple server issue,sometime we did some bad linking according to me :)

Error in BIO read. Program will now exit

A message box periodically pops up with the title "Event Notification Application" and the text "Error in BIO read. Program will now exit"
Can anyone tell me what this error message is about? It occurs in a production environment and I have no idea where it's comming from.
Any clues very much appreciated!
We had this error message on an IBM xSeries and it was caused by the LSI MegaRAID Storage software. Use Process Explorer and check the properties of the pop up.
If it's actually BIO_read (with underscore), then it would be related to OpenSSL. Of course, whoever put the message there might have dropped the underscore - so I'd look for applications using the OpenSSL DLLs (libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll).
I've used Process Explorer to diagnose these issues before: start it when the message is showing, click the bullseye icon on the toolbar and hold it down, then drag over and release when the bullseye is on the target window. The process will be highlighted in the main program area. Also, check your Application event log for errors, and see if you have any services that are set for automatic startup that are not running after you close the error dialog.
For what it's worth, I'd bet this issue is related to an auto-updater for some software installed on your machine. Try to identify those auto-update services (I bet McAfee has one) and disable them for a time (if that's safe.) Only disable one at a time so you can be reasonably sure which one the culprit is; be sure to enable it if it is ruled out.
Best of luck!
Do you have norton installed? It seems to be related to Norton 2000's live update.
Try disabling that and see if the error goes away.
The culprit was some raid software.

XCode: "To download this update...". Is this dialog normal?

I'm getting a dialog box asking to enter my apple developer id & password in xcode. It just says something like "To download this update enter your information." then i goes away.
Is this normal? Seems to me that this would be the perfect way for a trojan to get my apple id and pwd!
It has just happened to me, too (with the current GM Seed version). I was creating a new project when the pop-up dialog appeared.
To be on the safe side, I changed my password immediately after the incident.
What were YOU doing in Xcode when it happened to you? Are you using Xcode 3.2.2, too?
Anybody else having this issue?
The only explanation I found is here:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2010/Mar/msg00265.html
Then, under /Developer/..., I found a .docset file with a time stamp corresponding to the point in time (plus a couple of minutes) when I had entered my credentials.
However, when I tried to log out & in again, open Xcode - Preferences - Documentation and initiate another download, Xcode did NOT ask me for my Apple ID/PDW again; instead, it asked me for the admin password as usual (I mean - usual for installations; the dialog box looked a bit different). So I am still wondering ...

Karel
