Is writing a blOg post a distraction? :)

Handy to know that setting exists. Thanks dude.

I completely forgot about provisioning profiles. Oh the amount of times I've said, "Fuck provisioning profiles".

Agree it's not so bad. Just took 2 days to figure out how to do it. 2 days I'd rather have spent making the app more awesome. If on average other developers - I like to think I'm at least average :) - spent this long then that's like a million hours that they've spent on their build config instead of making their apps more awesome.

Oh I love the way Xcode handles this. Just setup multiple targets and use a preprocessor macro to switch between configurations. A nice drop down to select from when you're building. It's bliss! Learning the iOS way took me way less time than figuring it out for Android and it was a nicer solution.

Thanks Zambo. I couldn't find a way to set a custom debug key in Eclipse - I'm using IntelliJ but this frustrated me so much I was considering migrating to Eclipse.

I was also using a debug/release flag previously but kept forgetting to change it when I sent the release build out for testing.

Re:Should I Continue With This Website: Java Tutorials on Thursday March 08, 2012 @07:20PM (#3682341)
It's awesome that you want to contribute to the community in this way but I'd say these kinds of tutorials are very well covered already.

As a developer I've found there's a gap in more specific IDE & framework tutorials. Perhaps focus your efforts there?
