I assume that manual memory counting will go away very quickly.
The most recent zkSforce library is still in MRC mode.
Does anybody have converted it (and tested)?
Here is what I did so far: I have converted it (i.e. Xcode 4.3 converted it automatically [I created a small OSX dummy project with MRC and refactored it to ARC]).
Xcode did find only 3-4 problems, all of them were unresolveable [myZKobject autorelease]. I just commented them away (thinking that the worst thing to happen would be a mem leak) and the app compiled and ran without further warnings.
I admit that I am not very experienced with that, so probably it should be clear what to do. But honestly a little hint how I should handle this common situation would be great!
probably again my fault, but "sometimes" I receive a kind of type mismatch warning because "hash" is defined to return unsigned in zkDescribeField and NSUint in NSObject.
Strange because I am not getting this warning(s) in every case.
while learning Objective-C and the zkSforce library in parallel I came across two questions:
1.) The query result is sent an autorelease before returned to the caller.
This may be ok and my caller has to deal with it, but I had a problem when I tried to run a query in one method and work on it in another method (both using a common instance variable where I saved the zkQueryResult object pointer. The object was deallocated somewhere in the middle of my program. After sending an retain to it once, it persisted, but I am not sure if this is the intended way.
2.) NSTableView protocol implemented in the category to zkQueryResult
Both the return value of the row-count method and the row index parameter of the value query method are documented as NSInteger but the library uses int. No warnings, no problems - but I just wanted to mention it not knowing if it can produce trouble in a certain situation.
Hi, maybe I am using the methods not in the intended way - a very basic example app would be soooo great!!!!
I have a little learning app on a free developper instance of SFDC.
What I achieved:
- I send out a "queryAll" and got reading access to all of the fields in the result (select Id,Name From Opportunity)
What does not work:
- update
What did I do and how does it go wrong:
- I took one of the 31 objects of the query result and put it into a new NSArray
- I sent an "update" with this one element array
- The runtime says
INVALID_TYPE: sObject type '' is not supported. If you are attempting to use a custom object, be sure to append the '__c' after the entity name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.
What confuses me.
- the property "Id" of all the zkSObjects in the query result is (null). I would have expected that this is set to the SFDC-id of the respective record. Is this needed for update and do I have to care for setting it?
- the property "type": same with all 31 records in the result: all (null). Maybe I have to put in something too (but don't know appropriate values).
- maybe I have to clear the id from the collection because it can't be updated (related to first point above)
I am really looking forward to a little more help ;)
Simon, pls. consider to add a donate or Flattr button to your website!

EDIT:
I found some answers by trying:
- for a successful update the "type" property of the object to update has to be set. After setting it to @"Opportunity" it worked.
- the update methods with either the Id in the header property of the objects or in the fields collection (or both; did not try if one has a higher priority if they are different from each other)
I still get some compiler warnings because the compiler does not know the type of my objects. This probably are due to my lack of Objective-C experience. Here is the screenshot: (oppsA ist the records NSArray from the zkQueryResult).

After following the instructions on http://www.pocketsoap.com/osx/zksforce/ to download the latest version and configure the XML library and build path, I am still getting 6 errors, as shown in the following picture.
I have not edited a single line of code for the library, and have not written a single line of code for my project yet.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!
