iOS 7 snafus

zyzzyxx

Guys:
Quck question:
a) Can I prevent the status bar from showing up in iOS7 using the 1.X sparrow version?
b) I tried to download Sparrow version 2 and followed the first steps and still got tons of compilation error. My SPARROW_SRC is correct. The SParrow lib.a compiles correctly, for some reason the application code is no longer able to see the Sparrow files. I have tried everything, but I just can't seem to resolve the compilation error.
The most messed up error message is"
Unkown type name 'SPView"; did you mean 'UIView'?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

a) I haven't tried, but I guess the status bar fix should be the same as in Sparrow 2.0! Have you tried that? (App-Info.plist -> View controller-based status bar appearance - NO)

b) Sparrow 2.0 has a different startup-code than Sparrow 1.0 -- e.g. your root class is no longer extending "SPStage", but "SPSprite"; and there's no "SPView" but a new "SPViewController" instead.

To upgrade, I recommend you start with the new Scaffold project to see how the new structure works, and integrate your game code there. That will be easier as converting your old project.

Otherwise, if there's no specific feature you need, you can also stick with Sparrow 1.x for that game, and upgrade only with your next.
