Hi, here's some code i threw together for simulating memory warnings in your app, so you can be sure you're handling them well.

It only affects the simulator, so in production you'll be just the same. This uses method swizzling to extend your view controllers, so that every time a viewWillAppear is called, it simulates a memory warning. And you don't need to change your view controllers' base class or anything, so this file is easy to drop in (and out of) a pre-existing project for the duration of your memory usage/leak testing.

Many thanks to cocoawithlove and idevrecipes for most of the below code, I just combined it all to work together so you don't need to change your view controllers at all. Simply create a 'MemoryWarnings.m' file in your project and paste the below code in it:

Its odd that it's not a standard iOS feature to cancel a UIActionSheet by tapping outside/above it, and it's actually a bit tricky to code it. But here it is:

To put a button in a toolbar, you need to set it as the custom view of a UIBarButtonItem, like so:

This is a bit tricky, because we have to take into account there may be nav controllers, also there seems to be a quirk (bug?) when a nav controller is in the 'more' tab.

The code I wrote below needed to know this for the purposes of allowing the currently visible view to determine whether or not to allow landscape mode. Hope it helps someone!

Random Chef is an iPhone app that helps with the inevitable question, as you prepare the weekly shopping list:

"What do we want to have for dinner this week?"

Go to Random Chef in the App store

Now, with Random Chef, you can tap the Random button and it automatically chooses a weeks worth of recipes for you, from your personal recipe book, and creates a shopping list for all their ingredients.

Random Chef comes with 14 of my favourite recipes, however it (unlike many recipe apps) encourages you to enter your own recipes and their ingredients.

A combined shopping list is created, which you can use to tick off the items as you purchase them, or if they're already in your cupboard.

It also has a very neat recipe view screen, where you can view the ingredients and instructions as you cook your meals

Here's some photos of mounting the strut, the propshaft, and puttying and sanding the hull. I think i'm going to stain it a dark colour and paint it with clearcoat, so it'll look like dark timber.

My wife's little business that we're hoping will take off into a really good shop for cute baby stuff, I created the cart from scratch using ruby on rails, it's amazing how fast you can throw things together with it:
