Crud.

My apologies folks, totally forgot to post some new shiny icons for your enjoyment. Let me fix that now. You know the drill. 2 icons, free to use however you chose. Covered under the LGPL

With that out of the way, here we are.

And there you have it. Enjoy! We’ll probably take a break from TBT this next week for Christmas, but we’ll hit the ground running on 12.29! Stay tuned, and Merry Christmas!

• See shiny icon.
• Download shiny icon.
• Use shiny icon.
• Pay nothing, and chortle at your thriftyness.

Seeing as it’s the 12th month, and the 12th tab bar twosday, (and my wife reminds me, the 12 days of Christmas, which is fast approaching) our first image seems fitting with the theme.

Image number 2 is not as fitting, but still quite stylish. Stick em in your xcode project and see for yourself!

There you have it. 12 posts worth of tab bar icons. We’ll be back next week with December’s final installment.

Anyhow, enough turkey talk; lets get to the icons. You know the drill; 2 free tab icons for your iPhone development project (or whatever else you want to use it for). If you do use them, let us know where; it’s always cool to see them in use, and we’ll give your app a shout out in our blog.

With that said, on to the icons

Enjoy, and we’ll be back next week with more Tab Bar Twosday goodness, direct from your pals at Phodder!

Anyhow, here are your two free-to-use tab icons. Enjoy!

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Dave here, with the latest installment of Tab Bar Twosdays. Not sure how this works? Basically, I splat 2 incredibly amazing absolutely free tab bar icons. Use them in your own xcode projects if the spirit moves you, or wherever else you so choose.

Anyway, onto the icons.

Enjoy! I hope you like them. After looking at those icons again, I think I must be thirsty. See ya next week, I’m gonna go grab a coke.

Dave here, and welcome to our newest gig with our blog. Me being the resident design-guy at our nifty little iphone dev shop, I spend quite a bit of time developing (drumroll) iphone tab bar icons! I know! Shocking eh?

Anyhoo, we’ve decided to kick off a new feature as a help to the rest of the dev community; Tab Bar Twosdays. Here’s the deal:

1) I’ll release 2 iphone tab icons each week (hopefully on tuesday, that’s kind of the deal, right?). They’re optimized with alpha transparency and should be simple, plug-and-play-easy for you to drop in your xcode project.

2) You can download and use it free and shamelessly in any of your iphone projects. No payment necessary, though tweet and blog mentions are always cool.

3) Profit. Make millions on your app. ALL because of those nifty icons. You’re welcome.

That being said, here are the introductory two icons.

Thanks again for reading, and happy coding!

This code snippet will register a new device with Urban Airship that can then receive Push notifications.

import urllib2
from simplejson import dumps as json_dumps

user   = UAPUSH_USER
passwd = UAPUSH_PASS
base_url = UAPUSH_BASE_URL

# push_payload = {
    # 'aps': { 'badge': 2 },
    # 'device_tokens': [ 'devToken01', 'devToken02', etc ]
    # }

def _http_request(url,payload,is_put=False):
    headers = {"Content-type": "application/json" }
    authinfo = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
    authinfo.add_password("API", url, user, passwd )
    opener = urllib2.build_opener(authinfo)
    req  = urllib2.Request(url, payload, headers)
    if is_put: req.get_method = lambda: 'PUT'
    data = opener.open(req)
    return data.read()

def register_device(dev_token, tags):
    # dev_token is a string of hex returned from
    #     registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
    # tags is a list of string based tags
    content = {"tags": tags}
    url = "%sdevice_tokens/%s" % (base_url, dev_token)
    print _http_request(url, json_dumps(content), is_put=True)

There’s nothing magical here. I just found it a bit interesting to have an HTTP base authenticated PUT request to a restful service and figured I’d show how to tie these all together.
