This page is a delineation of notes and publication errors found in the Developing Hybrid Applications for the iPhone book.

Notes:

• Version 0.7.3 defaults to having the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript stored on the device rather than on a web server.
• The version of Dashcode shipped with Snow Leopard no longer allows custom templates to be displayed.  A defect report has been sent to apple.  You will need to drag the QuickConnectiPhone files and directories into one of the standard Dashcode projects until this is remedied.
• The version of Dashcode shipped with Snow Leopard has a different directory structure than the version covered in the book.
