Google Drive API now available to replace the Documents List API

[Greg Robbins]

The Google Drive API is now available for Objective-C apps, superseding the Documents List API.

http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/06/announcing-version-2-of-google-drive.html

The Drive API is JSON-based, and is more efficient and easier to use.  If your application is using the older XML-based Documents List API, we encourage you to switch over to the new library and API.

The Objective-C library is available at https://code.google.com/p/google-api-objectivec-client/

I have problems compiling the DriveSample example. I get a lot of "Instance method '-xxx' not found" errors. I'm using XCode 4.2 (Snow leopard) and LLVM 3.0, googling around it seems that LLVM 3.1 doesnt care about these warnings in contrast to 3.0.

XCode 4.2 is the latest version thats available to Snow Leopard, so Im a bit stuck with it.

It's easy to add forward declarations where the old compiler requires them, but it is quickly becoming impractical to develop on Snow Leopard as current tools require Lion.

It is indeed, I probably have to abandon SL at some point. I added the declarations, and it compiles fine.

I have some crashes when I run it tough. It crashes (EXC_BAD_ACESS) at

[DrivesSampleWindowController updateThumbnailImage] 

at line:

" if (!GTL_AreEqualOrBothNil(gDisplayedURLStr, thumbnailURLStr)) "

This seems to happen when I select a file in the list, that is not a Google Docs document, but an uploaded file. (Like a .txt file)

There was a memory management mistake in the DriveSample application. I have checked in a fix now, so please update your sources. Thank you for pointing out the problem.

Also, please use a new thread subject when posting messages to the group on a new issue, since that keeps the mail archives more useful for other developers.

There is a separate discussion list for the new JSON-based library. You can join that list at

Alright. Thank you!
