SKPhysicsBody and [SKNode setScale:]

To fix this, you can do the following: SKPhysicsBody *newBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:boxObject.size]; newBody.velocity = boxObject.physicsBody.velocity; boxObject.physicsBody = newBody;

You can use that name to programmatically load any individual image contained in the set. To load an image, call the UIImage:imageNamed: … Read more

Is there a way since (iOS 7’s release) to get the UDID without using iTunes on a PC/Mac?

EDIT: Also, have a look at Getting a device UDID from .mobileconfig if you (understandably) would rather have this .mobileconfig certificate hosted on a server of yours. MAKE YOUR … Read more
