Getting creative with transparent PNGs for Delivery Status
The old Delivery Status graphics system When I started the Delivery Status widget it didn’t support many services.

Some had to be customized… Read more »

I needed to display a password prompt in Delivery Status touch and quickly found that there was no ideal way to do it. There are some unsupported methods, but the workaround below—adding a UITextField as a subview of the alert—is the proper method for a third party app, according to Apple. Aside from the basic technique of adding a UITextField as a subview, there… Read more »
