I need a offline version of http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/navigation/
Does something like this exist? thank you
You've already got an offline version of the Doc, if you have Xcode installed in your system.
In Xcode, goto Help --> Developer Documentation. Shortcut: Option + Command + ?. This will show you the documentation page loaded in Xcode itself. Select the Home button at the top of the toolbar. It will show a drop down list of reference libraries available. Select iOS library from the menu. It will show you the page you want.
In Xcode, Option + Double-Click on a symbol: Opens the doc for the selected symbol in a small window. Clicking on the book-like-button, the second button from the top-right corner of the window opens the reference page of the symbol. That button is enabled only if the documentation available for the symbol.

The shotcuts Simon describes still work, but the Help menu has changed.

Sometimes in Xcode 6 Assistant Editor -> Preview stops working.
Showing just "No selection" even if no errors and Storyboard is ok.
Why does this happen?
The reason is "?" (questionmark) in Project's name (maybe there is a bug with other symbols – didn't check it).
You can try to rename Project or just create new one with name without "?" in it.
You must to Kill Xcode from processes for complete and then open it again. You can do it with Activity Monitor o CLI. Voila! - Preview is working again.
Don't just close Xcode keeping the app working. Sometimes also works closing with CMD + Q.
I had similar problem, but fixed it
You must open the xib or storyboard file in both assistant editors. Click the navigation button in the second editor (either the bottom or the right editor, depending on how you stack the assistant editors) and choose Preview to get the preview to appear.

I have played with Xcode 6 for a while and I encountered similar problems occasionally. I never used special characters in project or class names but the problem sometimes happens.
Now I have to test all ViewControllers at starting point to see if the Assistant Editor work. If not, I will just delete the class file and recreate the same one, it usually fix the problem.
Hope this can be fixed soon.
i am watching my first xcode tutorial on youtube , it says that i have to make new "based view application" but i found "simple view application" i thing it is the same , am i right? then on the tutorial there are somethings like buttons , textareas... to put it in the view but i can't find it with my xcode 4.5.2 , i read on google it is from tool then library but i don't have "tool", what should i do to see it please? by the way i just have mac os x lion 10.7.4 and xcode 4.5.2 maybe i have to install another programs ?
this is what i see
and when i press new project check what i see, there is no "view based application"
On the top right, you have three buttons above "View", click the right one to open the right sidebar. In the bottom right corner, you find your UI Objects. Nothing else needed.
Click the small "box" (3rd of the four symbols) in the bottom right.
I dont know which tutorial you are watching but if its unclear you can allways follow this tutorial. If you scroll down you will find what you are looking for! Good luck
Create View Based Application from scratch
Another example of same thing
How can I quickly access the documentation for a symbol, method, enum, etc. in Xcode 4.5?
alt + click on symbol shows a quick-info. Apple removed the dictionary icon which opened the documentation. I tried all other possible shortcuts of the cmd / alt / shift / click mumbo jumbo dance and none of them open the documentation browser.
I suppose there is a hidden trick to quickly open it anyways?
Edit: Figured out this new quick-info box has a link to the documentation.
⌘ Command + Double-Click on a symbol: Jump to Definition of a symbol.
⌥ Option + Double-Click on a symbol: Find Text in Documentation of a symbol. (Only works if you have they symbol's Doc Set installed.)
You should check This URL to know more about short cuts
Alt + double click any symbol to open the documentation.
You said in your question "quickly", quite frankly xcode sucks when it comes to reading docs quickly
I suggest you install the free Dash from the app store - which is a documentation viewer that is considerably quicker than xcode
Then install this plugin for Xcode
https://github.com/omz/Dash-Plugin-for-Xcode
Now doing "alt + click" on a symbol opens up Dash to the correct docs in a flash
Am using Mac lion for developing iPhone application, there I created database and copied into documents directory of the application, But the path to the applications documents directory not found in my lion, even the "Library" folder is not available under the lion's username.
I searched completely on my lion for the folder Library which has "Application support" following with "iPhone simulator" is not found. I checked for the moving of deletions of the folder, But it's not happened.
Anybody knows for what I can't find the folder.
Please advice me, I not available what can I do to resolve this.>
Thanks in Advance!!!
Your library folder is bydefault hidden so you will have to unhide it.
You can get information about showing hidden files here
Edit1:
You can also go to library in following way
Right click on Finder icon of your Dock
Click on "Go to Folder".
Type `/Users/yourusername/Library.
Click on Go.
Edit2:
you can permanently unhide the folder with following command
chflags nohidden /Users/yourusername/Library
From the Xcode menu on top, click preferences, select the locations tab, look at the build location option.
You have 2 options:
Place build products in derived data location
Place build products in locations specified by targets
By default, your derived data directory will be under ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppName/Build/Documents.
Please confirm whether you got ?
You can also check my answer.
See my answer in this post.You should clear your trash folder and reset it.For more detail click below link.
No iphone simulator folder in Application support
Please look at the following solutions: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html
Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the 10.7 release. If it's necessary to access these files for Adobe-related troubleshooting, use one of the following methods to make the user library content visible.
Method 1
In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder. In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library Click Go.
Method 2
Hold down the Alt (Option) key when using the Go menu. The user library folder is listed below the current user's home directory.
Note: After you open the Library folder, you can drag the Library icon from the top of that window to the Dock, Side Bar, or toolbar. That way, it's readily accessible.
Method 3
The following method makes the user library folder permanently visible.
Note: Adobe recommends that only advanced users use this method.
Launch Terminal from Mac HD > Applications > Utilities. From within Terminal type the following command and press Return:
chflags nohidden ~/Library Enter the system administrator password, if prompted, and press Return.
Note: The System administrator password is not visible as you type it.
Close Terminal for this change to take effect.
I am noobs at Xcode. I am on my second day of learning.
When I start Xcode, the main window has a button for "Getting Started with Xcode" and a subsequent link for "Xcode workflow tutorial"
Now I would simply like the help to be open at the same time as the IDE so that I can read and code. I clicked on the Xcode icon that opened up the original instance, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
How do I get both things to stay open at the same time?
Follow these steps -
Step 1: On opening X-Code, this window turns up-
Step 2: On clicking Getting started with Xcode , gives -
Step 3: On clicking Start Developing with Xcode gives-
Step 4: On clicking the link - Xcode Workflow tutorial present in Write a Sample Application gives-
Notice that in all the process your Xcode menubar remains unchanged i.e.,
Now, Click on File(or Cmd + Shift + N keyboard shortcut) , and select New Project should pop up the windows as shown in Workflow tutorial. Select the application type, saving should bring you new Xcode project. Arranging the two windows side by side should look some what like this -
Now code while you learn from the Workflow tutorial :)
Hope this is helpful.
You can open the documentation window via Cmd-Option-? and search for Getting Started with Xcode there. The option to open the documentation is also under the Help menu.
I generally open a project first and then open the documentation afterwards, if necessary.
