We're asked to start a view-based application. In the version of Xcode 4 you download following the instructions, you don't have that option. I'm unclear if we're supposed to use 'single view application' or... what. |

When using the [sender resignFirstResponder]; method in Chapter 3 the program compiles and runs, but then crashes on after tapping the "Done" button on a Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion host running XCode 4.1 Build 4B103. This issue occurs on both the code that I wrote and the code downloaded from the website. The error is EXC_BAD_ACCESS. |

The book instructions do not correspond to Xcode 4.2. For example, on page 146, you say to choose a Navigation-based Application, but Xcode 4.2 does not offer that option. It appears that the option "Master-Detail Application" is the closest one, but that does not include a MainWindow.xib. Please provide updated instructions for each example in the book. |

You said, the UITextField 'nameTextField' should be set uneditable. But for the UITextField the described checkbox 'Editable' is not available in the inspector. So this solution only works for the two UITextViews. |

self.capturedDateLabel.text = @"" belongs within the "else" brackets. The comment about the statement is misleading. I just submitted this error for the wrong book(iphone only). Sorry! |

The arrow "This will return a text representation of an NSDate" pointing to @"" might be a bit misleading. Is it perhaps supposed to point to [fugitive_captdate description] instead? |
