Dashcode 2.0 beta (136)

The iPhone SDK includes new versions of Dashcode and Xcode!

Please have in mind that Dashcode upgrades the existing projects making them incompatible with previous versions.

Widgets and the defaults command

You can use the defaults command (from Terminal.app) to learn more about the options of a Widget.

Example: defaults read widget-com.apple.widget.translation

gives:

{

    "41a9b19e2d5c5543-fromLanguage" = 3;

    "41a9b19e2d5c5543-toLanguage" = 5;

    fromLanguage = 3;

    toLanguage = 5;

}

Found it in Dashboard-dev mailing list.

Do not use a directory called "resources" inside a Widget

If you have a folder called "resources" inside your Widget, this will create troubles with the Widget's concept of "Resources". Do not use that name.

Use @loader_path instead of @executable_path

If the Widget plugin is not at @executable_path, it will not be able to find a framework via @executable_path/../Frameworks/... So how can you load a framework in a Widget plugin.

The solution is to use @loader_path instead of @executable_path.
