At Xtreme Labs, we often build apps that interact with a large address book. Contacts are necessary if the user wants to share their favorite product to a friend, or send an article through email. To ensure we handle the worst edge cases, we need to test with a large number of contacts. Of course, it’s very inefficient to have an intern manually input all the contacts onto a device (and our interns have more important things to do!). Fortunately, we found a way to load all the contacts in a short time. How, you ask? Here’s the secret to importing a large contact list onto your iOS devices in less than 5 minutes.

I’ve just returned home from Microsoft’s annual Build conference, which they held at Microsoft HQ in Redmond, WA. Before I attended the conference, I have to admit, I didn’t think Microsoft really “got it” when it came to mobile. I must also admit that I am a bit of an Apple fan boy, having switched to a Mac 5 years ago and have been rocking an iPhone since the introduction of the 3G. With the launch of Windows 8, it seemed to me that to Microsoft, tablets are simply smaller PCs, and that a mobile touch-friendly interface could easily be mashed into one experience for all. Some of the reviews for Windows 8 tended to confirm this, scathing Microsoft for lacking usable touch areas in some cases, and confusing desktop users with a redesigned home screen. I found, as the conference went on, my thoughts around Microsoft changed. (Disclosure: the free Surface tablet and Nokia 920 did help). Free-loader bias aside, Microsoft’s mobile strategy revolves around three key elements: Windows Phone 8, Windows 8 tablets and finally mobile services in the cloud.

The PLNDR app reaches customers who can’t always shop online, which takes advantage of user’s desire to get a great item for a great price when the clock is ticking.

The intensity of downtown Toronto’s rush-hour pedestrian traffic pales in comparison to the electric work environment of Xtreme Labs. After some time, most XL employees will get up to speed with our fast-paced work environment, but I clearly remember being overwhelmed on my first day as an Agile Engineer at our downtown Toronto office.

Last August, the iOS developer community discovered a small change with potentially large implications that came with the introduction of iOS 5.0: the deprecation of the UDID. The UDID is a highly used unique identifier for each
iOS device; somewhat like a social security number for your phone or tablet.
