Apple limits these keywords to 100 characters. Now, I don’t know about you, but I can count words up pretty quickly, but it seems no one has successfully been able to deliver me keywords that contain less than 100 characters. I usually don’t figure this out until I’m on the page in itunesconnect that asks me for them and I have to make a decision about what words to drop or adjust to get the app submitted. I created this simple utility to avoid finding out last minute.

This is a work in progress and as such there are no guarantees it will work for you. I don’t have a lot of free time and I whipped this up one afternoon while in between emails. It isn’t fancy and there are no bells or whistles. I find it handy in my day-to-day uploading of applications to Apple and maybe you will too. If anything is broken or you have feedback, please let me know in the comments.

Known Issues

- clicking in the second input box should select all text for easy copying. It doesn’t work in all browsers

- spaces on either side of commas are not stripped out resulting in an extra character. Just ran out of time.

self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor];

UIView with Stripes

This is a quick and easy way to clear the clutter on your Modules page in Drupal. One of the sites I’ve recently worked on easily had over 30 modules that were grouped in 10-12 fieldsets on the modules page in Drupal. When developing, sometimes you need to toggle modules and finding them in the mess can be difficult. (Of course, you can always just search the page. I’m too lazy.)

This bookmarklet lets you click one link, provided you’ve added it to your browser’s toolbar and quickly clean up the clutter the page.

Give me what I came for!

If you already know what a bookmarklet is and know how to use one, I’ll get right to it.

javascript:function collapseEm(){$(‘.collapsible’).addClass(‘collapsed’);}collapseEm();

How to use it

Easy. Copy the code, create a new bookmark and paste it in. When you click your new bookmark, the fieldsets should collapse.

It isn’t working for me

First, it requires jQuery, which should already be installed with Drupal. If for some reason you don’t have that, it won’t work.

Second, I use it in Firefox on the Mac. Let me know what browser you’re using if it doesn’t work.

There’s really nothing to it

I know. It isn’t complicated and you probably could have thought of it yourself. Hopefully it saves someone some time who wouldn’t have or couldn’t have.

You’ll need your password to use a sudo command.

The process will take a bit as it analyzes packages on your machine. Be patient and it will find and remove all Xcode and iPhone SDK components. If you’re planning on installing another version of the SDK and Xcode, you should reboot after doing so.
