WelcomeToYourMac

Coming from a largely web-based background, it’s been a lot of fun [one hell of a crash course] diving into the xCode project of WelcomeToYourMac. One funny thing that I came across was the localization of the application name when it’s compiled - even after I had changed all of the project’s settings to the name “WelcomeToYourMac”, the compiled application still showed the old “iPhone Remote” name. I finally stumbled upon the InfoPlist.strings file, but when I double clicked it in xCode, it wasn’t quite what I expected:

The trick, I learned, is to open the .strings file in plain text mode instead of source code mode (the default). Right clicking the file solved that problem

I’m sure this is a no-brainer for many of you Xcode elites out there, but it took me the better part of an hour to find that last remaining “iPhone Remote” string.

All that to say, I now have an official development environment set up for WelcomeToYourMac, and I’m looking forward to getting the first release out the door soon.
