congrats! This is very timely, not from a windows POV, but I am thinking of the US economy.

As a follow-up to the parent comment... occasionally, we get emails asking for Android apps and I replied to the latest email today afternoon. Unfortunately, at this time, I don’t see Android as a viable platform for most non-trivial paid apps. Numbers mentioned in the parent comment made the point of how Apple's app store compares with Android's Market. In addition, as this recent TechCrunch post points out, Apple's app store revenue is more than 17 times higher than that of Android's market. To add insult to injury, Android is not even in 2nd place. With only 4.7% of revenue share, Android is 4th, behind Blackberry App World (7.7%), Nokia Ovi store (4.9%) and Apple's app store (82.7%)

You can contact the App Review Board and appeal against rejections through http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/contact.html

Hi — what email address did you use to contest the app rejection? Did you simply reply to the rejection letter?
Any help would be appreciated.

As of iOS 4.2, this bug still exists and this fix still works. As always, test it as you would all your code in the next iOS beta. Unofficial workarounds are sometimes the only solutions we have. If you must dismiss the keyboard in a partial-screen modal, and you can’t change your UI, this is the only way I’ve found to do it.

I haven’t verified the “solution”, however, at best, this seems like a hack.
I’m sure, this behavior isn’t documented by Apple and so the “solution” could stop working in the next version of the iPad OS.

In any case, it is possible that Apple may fix the bug in iOS 5.0 and that might eliminate the need for the hacks.

The solution is to resize a UIModalPresentationPageSheet immediately after presenting it. See my answer at stackoverflow.com/questions/3372333

I understand your point about not having time to “to redo this portion of the UI”. Unfortunately, you don’t have any other options.

Your best solution would probably be to re-implement your UI code to not use UIModalPresentationPageFormSheet. You could either create a custom view or use a different type of UIKit object

Nice article.

How did you solve the zombie keyboard problem in modal form sheet? I’m having the same problem.
