Overview of this book

Building on the phenomenal success of its predecessor iOS 5 includes over 200 new user features as well as an updated SDK containing over 1,500 new APIs. iOS 5 looks set to reinforce the iPhone's dominance in the smartphone market. iOS 5 Essentials will help you learn how to build simple, yet powerful iOS 5 applications incorporating iCloud Storage, Twitter, Core Image and Newsstand integration. You will start by learning about what's new in iOS 5. You'll look at the iCloud Storage APIs, Automatic Reference Counting, Twitter and AirPlay integration, how to use the various Core Image filters using the Cocoa framework, and the new features of the iOS 5 SDK. After this, you'll jump straight in and create applications using Xcode and Interface Builder using the new storyboard layout. We then finish up by learning how to make your applications run smoothly using the Xcode instruments.

Chapter 6. Xcode Tools - Improvements

Since the release of the iPhone 4 back in 2010, developers were impressed by the remarkable 960x640-resolution retina screen display, and provided a way to stay in touch with friends and family, using the FaceTime video-calling feature.

The iPhone 4 camera has been updated and features front and back cameras, as well as a standard 5-megapixel camera with a built-in LED flash and HD video editing that allows you to record and edit stunning HD video. With the release of the iPhone 4S, this has been updated to include the ability to record HD videos at 1080 pixels, with the added ability to directly edit your videos from within the iOS device.

Starting with Xcode 4, the Gyroscope feature was integrated into the Accelerometer, which provided developers the flexibility to program this and create some stunning games. With the release of iOS 5 SDK, the LLVM compiler has been updated to include the new Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) feature.
