Right click on file -> Services -> then the title of your automator action maybe?

Quick stab a python closest fit. The abstract classes will at least throw errors at object instantiation time.



from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod

class Animal:
  __metaclass__ = ABCMeta
  species = ''
  legs = 0

  @abstractmethod
  def speak(self):
    pass

class Egg:
  __metaclass__ = ABCMeta

  @abstractmethod
  def hatch(self):
    pass

class Viviparous:
  __metaclass__ = ABCMeta

  @abstractmethod
  def birth(self):
    pass

class Oviparous:
  __metaclass__ = ABCMeta

  @abstractmethod
  def lay(self):
    pass

class ChickenEgg(Egg):
  def hatch(self):
    return Chicken()

class Chicken(Animal, Oviparous):
  species = "Gallus gallus domesticus"
  legs = 2

  def speak(self):
    return "Cluck"

  def lay(self):
    return ChickenEgg()

def birthSays(parent):
  return parent.birth().speak()

Re: Core Data Migrations and Large Data Sets

Ernest Surudo — Thu, 03 Dec 2015 06:53:15 -0000

When creating the old a new MOCs, is there a way to determine the current (old) model name, as well as the latest model name? I'm guessing the `modelName` here: `[[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:modelName withExtension:@"mom" subdirectory:@"Scanner.momd"]` should be name of the "version", but I'm not sure how to get these at runtime, as in my case, the source model name is unknown at compile-time (I need to handle multiple cases).

Where do i have to add this code? Also how to migrate multiple entitiy with relationship between them.

Also i have an entity which is having relationship with itself, will this work in that case.

Re: USSD Codes on iPhone

CrimReaper — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 17:30:35 -0000

Thanks for the article Hamish. Perhaps letting the app programmatically saving the USSD codes as contacts and allowing the user to call them from the native Phone app is a workaround for this issue? Not clean or seamless by an means, but it could be much more convenient than the alternative. I haven't tested this of course. You could have a go at it in your test app if you're so inclined.

The hassle (to the user) could be mitigated if the app created a separate contacts group for the USSD codes.

main.swift in your project — google it, it's on Stackoverflow.

rickerbh — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:18:45 -0000

Very good question. There must be a way. If you find out, could you post back here?

Re: iPhone & iPad (iOS) Localizations and Regions

StuFF mc — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 09:48:08 -0000

Now how would you do this with Swift? :) There's no Main anymore... I'm sure there's a way though...

Nic — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 02:01:46 -0000

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing but to no avail. Do you have any update on this?
My coworker told me there is a company already achieving this, but It's really hard to believe.
I want to know if there is a way to achieve this without using official API

I didn't know that "Java/Simian seems to be interpreted by Jenkins as non-0". This is the reason why my job is failure.

Hi,

awesome tutorial! Thank you very much for your afford.

I'm currently struggling to get Frank up and running. When i execute "rake build_lib" as you descripted i get the following error:

xcodebuild -workspace Frank.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace -scheme Frank -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos7.0 BUILD_DIR=build clean build
Build settings from command line:
BUILD_DIR = build
SDKROOT = iphoneos7.0
xcodebuild: error: The workspace 'Frank' does not contain a scheme named 'Frank'.
rake aborted!

Just starting out learning Xcode and saw your scripts. I have been trying to figure out how to implement it all into an iPhone app. What to put in .h and what to put in .m and how it all links to the IB.

Probably too much to ask but I thought I would give it a go - any help or guidance would be appreciated.
