Today we are having a real life test of our online high scores system because iCombat game version 1.2 got approved by Apple and there has been a flow of users populating the DB with their scores since then.
And suddenly it has stopped working - the online table wouldn’t show and as a result I had to learn a bit more about OAuth system we are using for the authentication purposes.
Bloody hell I’ve just spend more than two hours trying to figure out why Xcode won’t publish to my iPhone.
Tried everything - started with our checklist published earlier then lots of ritual dancing and read two big manuals by other guys:

http://www.codza.com/how-to-fix-iphone-code-signing-errors
Finally - being 100% sure everything is set up properly - used the idea of “Clean all” from the last link - and it worked! Nothing has been changed, I just quit the Xcode and removed everything from “Build” folder of my app! Then started it again, hit “Build” button and it worked!
Apple is evil. Thousands of developers spend hours losing time with all code signing thing. These lines from codza is one good example:
I was on a roll, all done in 30 minutes. A quick look at the clock: 11:30pm. I’ll quickly package it all up, submit my update, and pick out a dark comedy on Netflix instant watch…
Little did I know that for the next two hours I will be beaten, cubed and ground into hamburger meat by Apple engineering’s probably most ingenious attempt to one up Turing’s theory of the “halting problem”: code signing.

ПЕСНЬ МЕДВЕДА
однажды в студеную зимнюю пору,
я вышел из леса,
был сильный мороз.
дорога лежала моя к точприбору
инжоит совсем без меня бы замерз

MEDVED SONG
at winter once I came from forest
it was a very heavy frost
my way was laying to our office
without me - Injoit lost

Here are some pictures to show the holiday atmosphere these days in Injoit. Check them and share our festive mood with us + read our greetings in the end of the post.
This is our system administrator Valentin with his own special Christmas tree (you may see processor cooler and RAM hanging on it):
our IT crowd style Christmas tree
Each working place is decorated with a small Christmas tree with sweets and cookies on it - thanks to Karina! This really brings a cosy atmosphere of Christmas and New Year.

So you see we’ve been working hard throughout the year and now it’s time to party as New Year Eve is a very important, massive and special holiday in Ukraine.
We’ll continue working hard in 2009 to bring new great solutions and products to the market.
Here I wish to thank all our customers and partners for being with us during 2008 and let’s step out together into 2009 and make the world a better place with our common efforts!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, all the best wishes to your business, your family and may you wishes come true in 2009!

As it was announced in our blog earlier, our team was going to participate in Google Developers Day in Moscow. So we did.
Here I wish to say thanks to Alexei Shelestenko, from Google Russia, for making an exception for us allowing more than 2 people to come. It was really important that we don’t share out train coupe with some non-geek people :)) Seriously, imagine Russian customs officers entering seeing 4 silent guys with laptops coding something. Their facial expression. Priceless.

This Saturday it was first time some of the Injoit team managed to get together for an outdoor event. Everybody had a great time and here are the photos of the fun we had. Click on the “Read more” button to check them.
On the way to Lyubotin, our destination place, we got stuck in a massive traffic jam which caused a delay of about 1 hour. I’ve later found out that this might have been due to road closures because of the Mosfilm filming a movie about Leo Landau, the famous physics scientist, in our city. Anyway, we had fun listening to music in our cars and finally got there.
