Hey everyone I'm new to the forum and could use some advice.

I've been tasked with updating an iPad app that was developed by someone else.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on how to get the existing app loaded into xCode?

I've spent MANY MANY hours already trying to figure this out on my own but I'm getting nowhere...


I appreciate it!
 
The previous developer will, more than likely, have created the app using an Xcode project. This will be a folder containing all the source code files, resources, etc. You need to get a hold of that in order to make any changes to the app.
 
Usually in the first (root) folder of the project, there is a file with an extension of .xcodeproj that you can double click.

Dejo, thanks very much! The whole time I was thinking I could pull the source files from the member account.

Now I'm off to hunt it down...
 
Thanks also xStep! No wonder I was lost I, I figured I could retrieve the source from member area.
