// Show
[myWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
// Hide
[myWindow orderOut:self];

First, find the process id:

$ ps -ef|grep Grab
  501 50335   319   0   0:02.11 ??         0:04.40 /Applications/Utilities/Grab.app/Contents/MacOS/Grab -psn_0_7309048

The pid is 50335 so create a D program that captures the Objective-C calls for that process:

objc50335:::entry
{
   printf("%s %s\n", probemod, probefunc);
}

Save the code in a file called grab.trace.d and start tracing by executing this command:

sudo dtrace -s grab.trace.d > trace.log

Output is sent to the trace.log file.

NSDate *stopDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:2];
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] runUntilDate:stopDate];

int choice = NSRunAlertPanel(@"title", @"description", @"DEFAULT", @"ALTERNATE", "OTHER", 8);
    
if(choice == NSAlertDefaultReturn)        

} else if(choice == NSAlertOtherReturn) {

} else if(choice == NSAlertAlternateReturn) {

}

Open Info.plist and add the following:

NSUIElement=1

Install RegexKitLite

First download RegexKitLite.

Configure your project

Double-click the project target under Targets in the Groups & Files sidebar.

Under the Linking header add -licucore to the Other Linker Flags setting.

Setup documentation

In the Xcode menu, open Xcode->Preferences->Documentation. Then click the Add Publisher button.

Add this URL: feed://regexkit.sourceforge.net/RegexKitLiteDocSets.atom

Using RegexKitLite

This will extract the integer that is embedded in a td tag:

NSString *regex = @"<td id\"amount\">(\\d+)</td>";
NSString *body = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:html encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding] autorelease];
NSString *amount = [body stringByMatching:regex capture:1];

if ([amount isEqual:@""] == NO) {
    NSLog(@"Amount is %@", amount);
} else {
    NSLog(@"Amount was not found.");
}

In MainViewController#shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation return YES:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return YES; //[super shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation];
}

Example of how to make asynchronous HTTP requests with NSURLConnection:

//
//  HTTP.h
//
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import "HTTPDelegate.h"

@interface HTTP : NSObject {
    id delegate;
    NSMutableData *receivedData;
    NSURL *url;
}
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableData *receivedData;
@property (retain) id delegate;

- (void)get: (NSString *)urlString;
- (void)post: (NSString *)urlString;

@end

//
//  HTTP.m
//

#import "HTTP.h"

First you'll need to setup a UIWebView in for example Interface Builder. Then in the controller you add this incredible piece of code:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"about" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:@"html"];
NSLog(@"%@", path);
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];

This beautiful piece of code will look for a file named about.html in a folder called html. Now go create that folder and the file with your favorite tools.

Next drag that folder under your application in Groups & Files in XCode. Now to make XCode happy you have to make sure you select Create Folder References for any added folders.

That's it. If you get this error it means the file couldn't be found, and that you didn't import the files correctly:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]: nil string parameter'

            delegate:self
            cancelButtonTitle:@"Remove"
            otherButtonTitles:nil];
