I had this problem with my 5S (never my 5). It seemed to be related to heat?.. when I had my local hotspot, iTunes, etc, running. The device would get really hot and then shutdown. When it was cool enough, I could reboot it. When I t

here's what most cross-platform library vendors never get: it's actually easier, and ultimately faster, to learn each environment's native API, then learn one cross-platform API and all of the idiosyncrasies on each platform

agreed. It sounds good but I can't imagine using it over some other x-platform lib which probably has fewer headaches. It's just way too big for what the author of the original post had in mind.

exactly.. why don't more people say this? so much of the 'worth' of your college degree is essentially a function of how valuable it is in the current workplace. If you major in 'business' or 'communications&#

If you've implemented the location callbacks for a specific region (defined by a UUID), then you'll receive messages with that detail how far you are from the device (within about 70m, depending on your device). Depending on the
