This logfile contains information about what the application was doing before it crashed.</p><p>These log files are stored on your computer, and are copied across everytime you sync your iPhone. To find the log files do the following;</p><p>1) Sync your iPhone</p><p>2) Browse to the following folders.

Unfortunately Apple made this process quite complicated. Here's a how to from the view of a customer: <div><br /></div><div><b>1. Find your iPhone Device ID (UDID)</b></div><div>Every iPhone has a unique device id and to install an Ad Hoc build you need to first send this ID to the developer. You find your device id in iTunes (when your device is connected):</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://sonico.s3.amazonaws.com/images/itunes-serial-number.jpg" alt="iTunes serial number" /><br /><br /><img src="https://sonico.s3.amazonaws.com/images/itunes-udid-number.jpg" alt="iTunes udid number" /><br /><br /><img src="https://sonico.s3.amazonaws.com/images/copy-udid.jpg" alt="iTunes copy udid number" /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>2. Install the Ad Hoc build</b></div><div>Once you got the Ad Hoc build from the developer you need to drag &amp; drop the *.app and the *.mobileprovision file into the iTunes Mediathek. This should work on both Mac &amp; Windows.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><img src="https://sonico.s3.amazonaws.com/images/install-ad-hoc.jpg" alt="iTunes ad hoc installation" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>3. Sync your iPhone/iPad now</b></div><div>If you get any error message then please note the error code and send it back to the developer.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>4. Done</b></div><div>You should now find the app on your device !</div></div>Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:45:27 GMThttp://blog.sonicomobile.com/post/52825332/How-To-iPhone-iPad-Ad-Hoc-Distributionurn:www-soup-io:1:52825332regular <p><a href="http://gigaom.com/2010/04/02/unboxed-the-ipad/"><img alt="6934_cbd6_400" height="266" src="http://asset.soup.io/asset/0765/6934_cbd6_400.jpeg" width="400" /></a></p> <p>The future of content consumption ?</p>Sat, 03 Apr 2010 12:24:00 GMThttp://blog.sonicomobile.com/post/51619009/The-future-of-content-consumptionurn:www-soup-io:1:51619009image <p><a href="http://gigaom.com/2010/03/18/the-mobile-os-market/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OmMalik+%28GigaOM%29"><img alt="4209_274a_400" height="712" src="http://asset.soup.io/asset/0739/4209_274a_400.jpeg" width="400" /></a></p> <p></p>Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:46:48 GMThttp://blog.sonicomobile.com/post/49181736/Imageurn:www-soup-io:1:49181736image <p><a href="http://camerondaigle.com/v1/articles/podcamp_nashville_2010_presentation/"><img alt="7032_3b01_400" height="300" src="http://asset.soup.io/asset/0724/7032_3b01_400.jpeg" width="400" /></a></p> <p>iPad User Interface thoughts</p>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:28:01 GMThttp://blog.sonicomobile.com/post/47848692/iPad-User-Interface-thoughtsurn:www-soup-io:1:47848692image <p>"We are the most focused company that I know of or have read of or have any knowledge of. We say no to good ideas every day. We say no to great ideas in order to keep the amount of things we focus on very small in number so that we can put enormous energy behind the ones we do choose. The table each of you are sitting at today, you could probably put every product on it that Apple makes, yet Apple’s revenue last year was $40 billion. I think any other company that could say that is an oil company. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/live-apple-coo-tim-cook-at-the-goldman-tech-conference-2010-2">Link</a>"</p><p>&ndash;Tim Cook, Apple COO</p>Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:51:51 GMThttp://blog.sonicomobile.com/post/46197356/We-are-the-most-focused-company-thaturn:www-soup-io:1:46197356quote This seems like a small change, but for some apps this is big. One example is our <a href="http://www.itranslate.cc">iTranslate</a> app. <div><br /></div><div>On of our major goals for iTranslate is to keep the app footprint as small as possible. We have so many daily downloads that it's unthinkable for us to go over the 10 MB limit. </div><div><br /></div><div>For the Text-To-Speech feature in iTranslate we had to implement a rather bloated client side library. Of course we could have done everything with server APIs, but we think this does not make for a good user experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>To keep the app footprint small, we decided to implement the core TTS library in the app and download the files for the voices only after a user buys a voice (one voice has about 35 MB).</div><div><br /></div><div>After a lot of optimizing we ended up with 9.1 MB app size. Acutally it's 4.5 MB, but Apple blows up our app size to 9.1 MB with their DRM.</div><div><br /></div><div>The problem is that we needed to make some compromises. For example we decided to not support the Chinese TTS voice.</div><div><br /></div><div>With the new 20 MB limit, we have more than enough additional bytes to implement some cool new features.</div>Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:39:12 GMThttp://blog.sonicomobile.com/post/46103183/Apple-raises-3G-download-limit-for-iPhoneurn:www-soup-io:1:46103183regular <object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T0D4avXwMmM" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T0D4avXwMmM" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425" /></object>Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:07:23 GMThttp://blog.sonicomobile.com/post/45607759/Videourn:www-soup-io:1:45607759video <p><a href="http://kurier.at/multimedia/bilder/1973272.php"><img alt="4398_874e_400" height="300" src="http://asset.soup.io/asset/0694/4398_874e_400.jpeg" width="400" /></a></p> <p>We are the Winner...
