I am working on this, I have a critical deadline to complete then it will be published. Also trying to solve the problem of using only one IDE for all. Currently Samsung supplies its own IDE for Tizen but I prefer Android Studio. So stay tuned....

Genymotion and Android Studio and Google Play Services
My head wanted to blow up after trying out Android Studio and nothing seemed to work...
So what has happened? Basically I have updated to Android Studio 0.8.4 and have decided to create an app with stock login activity.
Then I thought I am going to launch this in the Genymotion supplied emulator (because it is light years faster)
Then I have started to receive errors related to google play services api and the login google plus button....
???
Ah yes unfortuntely due to some licensing all of the google stuff is missing from the Genymotion supplied Android simulators.
Here is the solution on Stackoverflow:
How do you install Google frameworks (Play, Accounts, etc.) on a Genymotion virtual device?
After I have installed the apps and performed some updates of Google Play and the related apps everything went fine.

How to convert Yosemite.app to iso or dmg
Just a quick note!
If your Redemption Code for Yosemite download is used or invalid you can go to this website
https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/guide
And on the bottom request a new one. Then from your developer account you can download the OS X which will open you App Store App. If the code is invalid use the code that you have just requested from the above link.
After your download stop the install, close the window and the package will be in your /Applictations folder that you have to copy to somewhere else as after installation the package will be deleted and will use it to convert it to an ISO image so that we can install it using Parallels
So today I was trying to install into my Parallels the new Yosemite OS x 10.10
I have found a nice script and the original is here

Xcode6 or Xcode5 show all output (remove “Showing first 200 notices only”)
I have made a discovery today. Basically I was annoyed by the fact that Xcode has output only the first 200 lines of the build log while building Unreal Engine. Unreal Engine build log is over 1000 lines so was I was building blind after 200 lines, when building in Xcode. (xcodebuild is a different story, I had the advice to build from the command line, but I wasn't happy entirely with that as it involves more windows, more switching, and from Xcode you can perform some tasks and adjust some settings quicker). I have seen a screen similar to the one below where my log has stopped after 200 lines.
So then after googling a little bit figured that there is a setting that one can use to show all the log.
1.) So in XCode 6 click on the Show the Report Navigator the little clock on the right.
2.) Then right click anywhere in the log window and select Expand All Transcripts as shown in the pic below.
2.) As a result you will see a screen similar to the image below, and see that the log is updating constantly if everything goes well.
3.) To turn it off right click again anywhere in the log window and select Collapse All Transcripts.
Have a happy and productive day. :)
