The latest Xcode update no longer builds for the armv7s architecture by default. Is it planned obsolesce or an oversight?
AV Foundation: Code 39 Recognition Confusion
This is a bug report for AV Foundation. I noticed this problem when creating nice vector versions of the 1D barcodes used in figures in my book. The problem with this is that if you are scanning Code39 barcodes you have no way to determine whether it was one with or without check digit.

On the evening before Mobiconf I visited Cocoaheads Krakow to tell them about my book Barcodes with iOS and ProductLayer.
Radar: Spotlight doesn’t find files if first criteria is file format
While working on my talks for Mobiconf next week, I was looking for a specific file. There I got stumped because Finder wouldn’t show me any files matching my search criteria. Oh well, another day another bug report. This one is nice because I could easily demonstrate it with a screencast.

Calendar: Fails to update events from mail update
The CEO of the startup I am part in insists on working on a PC and scheduling our weekly jour fixe with Microsoft Exchange. I knew something was amiss because whenever he changed the time of a meeting I wasn’t able to get my Calendar entry to move.
Being a good engineer I researched the root cause and filed a bug report as rdar://18438463 and on Open Radar.
