iCloud Display Sets

What's the use of iCloud Display Sets?

 

When adding iCloud support to iOS app one can configure iCloud Display Set and link it with an app by specifying NSUbiquitousDisplaySet. But iCloud works even without it, so my question is: what's the purpose of iCloud Display Sets at all?
Couldn't find any clear answer anywhere in the docs. And what's more, based on the Apple docs it seems as if specifying Display Set for your app was mandatory if you use iCloud. That did confuse me a bit.
It is so that one might want to share the same Display Set for multiple applications or for iOS and Mac app versions?
 

 

 

NSUbiquitousDisplaySet (String - iOS, Mac OS X) contains the identifier string that you configured in iTunesConnect for managing your application’s storage. The assigned display set determines from which mobile data folder (in the user’s mobile account) the application retrieves its data files.
If you create multiple applications, you can use the same display set for your applications or assign different display sets to each. For example, if you create a lite version of your application, in addition to a full-featured version, you might use the same display set for both versions because they create and use the same basic data files. Each application should recognize the file types stored in its mobile data folder and be able to open them.

AddressBook iOS 6 issues

Problem:

ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus in simulator always returns kABAuthorizationStatusAuthorized

I am updating an app for iOS 6 Address Book authorization and have hit a problem in testing. The simulator always returns that authorization is granted. This means I do not see the dialog popup requesting permission and can therefore not test that code path. Ok, use a device instead... The problem there is the OS appears to remember my answer so only asks once. Deleting the app does not help. On reinstalling it has retained the permission setting from before, so again no popup.

Solution:

From the device, Settings->General->Reset->Reset Location & Privacy.

Problem:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions
or
dyld: Symbol not found: _ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions


Solution:

this code was failing for me at ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() in iOS5, but as per yunas' answer below, I checked if (ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion != nil) before going into the ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() code, and it was true/false for iOS6/5. I'm sure there'll be a more elegant way to cope with the two versions of iOS, but it's done the trick for now.


 if (ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion != NULL)   // we're on iOS 6
    {
    ....................  

    }
   
    else    // we're on iOS 5
    {
        return YES;
    }
