Beginning iOS 5 Application Development

TECHNIQUE 1 — MODIFYING THE DEVICE TARGET SETTING

TRY IT OUT: Modifying the Device Target Setting

1. Using Xcode, create a new Single View Application (iPhone) project and name it MyiPhoneApp. (You will also use the project name as the Class Prefix.) Ensure that you have the Use Automatic Reference Counting option unchecked.
2. Select the MyiPhoneAppViewController.xib file to edit it in Interface Builder.
3. Populate the View window with the following views (see Figure 5-1):

   • Text field
   • Round Rect button (set it to display “OK”)
