Oops.

Solution:

Check if the target is indeed an array

if ([anObject isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) { // Add a check here
    NSInteger count = [anObject count];
    ...
}

The built-in screen capture app grab… Why it only allows saving in tiff format?

Severly reduce its usefulness

Pod Spec Lint

Wanted to make a custom podspec to fix the JSONKit compilation error, as mentioned here

Made a first cut and wanted to do a sanity check. At first it did not look good.

$ pod spec lint /Users/antkong/Documents/Cocoa/jsonkit/JSONKit/JSONKit.ak.spec
pod spec lint /Users/antkong/Documents/Cocoa/jsonkit/JSONKit/JSONKit.ak.spec

[!] Unable to find a spec named `/Users/antkong/Documents/Cocoa/jsonkit/JSONKit/JSONKit.ak.spec'.

There are several issues here:

  • the pod lint does not take a file parameter
  • the pod runtime expects the spec file to use file extension podspec.

Fixed the above and committed the code change. Now I got these error messages:
