Version	Location	Description	Submitted By	Date submitted
Printed	Page 191 List, Item 4	The text references a button called "Make localized" however in XCode 4.6.3 (4H1503) this button's title is "Localize ..." Note from the Author or Editor: Nice catch. It certainly must have said this in some earlier version of Xcode. Fixed now in my copy.	Nicholas Barnard	Jul 05, 2013
ePub	Page 645 2nd & 4th paragraphs	2 methods are listed: -shouldAutomaticallyForwardRotationMethods -shouldAutomaticallyForwardAppearanceMethods for both methods this description appears: "If you override this method to return YES, you are responsible..." Instead of 'YES', it appears it should be 'NO', for if it is no then that's when the user is responsible for forwarding these events. Fantastic book -- looking forward to your next edition! Note from the Author or Editor: Quite so. Well spotted! Changed in my copy.	Eric Habberstad	Jun 20, 2013
Printed	Page 973 everywhere	It appears that the behavior of ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions has changed, perhaps in iOS 6.1. If access has never been granted or denied (i.e. it is undetermined) no longer returns NULL with an error. Instead, it returns a useless empty read-only database. Thus, ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion is no longer useless; it is essential. You must test for access, and if it is undetermined, you must call ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion to get the request for access to appear.	Matt Neuburg	May 16, 2013
Printed	Page 705 entire page	There is a major further advantage to the iOS 6 method `dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath:` that I omit here and throughout the chapter, namely, that it returns a cell whose bounds are already set correctly for the row of the table. This is something that the older `dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:` did not do; it returned nil, or a reused cell whose size depended on its previous use, and it wasn't given its size until later in the process. Not only should I list that here, but it might affect the discussion of things like variable row-height tables later in the chapter.	Matt Neuburg	Apr 24, 2013
PDF	Page 532 top of page	'opacity' should be 'alpha'. UIView properties are being discussed, and UIView does not have an 'opacity' property, but does have an 'alpha' property. Wonderful book. Note from the Author or Editor: Well, shoot! Yes, it's so easy to get confused between layer "opacity" and view "alpha". Why they need two different names beats the heck out of me. I probably make this mistake elsewhere as well... Fixed in my copy.	Mark Ackerman	Apr 04, 2013
Printed	Page 229 list of sizes	Landscape iPad sizes should be 1024 by 748 and 2048 by 1496. (Corrected in my copy.)	Matt Neuburg	Apr 03, 2013
PDF	Page 159 2nd to last paragraph	"If, when you showed the assistant pane, it didn't appear with MyClass's header file showing" should be "MyClass's implementation file" to reflect the change in where the instance variable is declared. Note from the Author or Editor: Good point.	Peter Olsen	Mar 09, 2013
PDF	Page 12 1st paragraph	Repeated "is" in "If you are asked what type is intPtr is, the answer is int* (a pointer to an int)". And congratulations on the third edition! Note from the Author or Editor: Good catch, fixed now in my copy.	Peter Olsen	Mar 03, 2013
