How should I count the number of launches of an application in iPhone



  • I have completed my application.



  • Now when user launches my application 5 times











  • I want to display an alert message that "You have used more than 5 times better to go for next version".









  • How should we count the number of launches and where do we call this alert view?

  1. You can use method in your app delegate:

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions


    to check how many times it was launched. Then you can simply use standard user defaults to read/write the value:

    NSInteger i = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"numOfLCalls"];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:i+1 forKey:@"numOfLCalls"];


    After that check if "i" is greater then 5 and send a message to view controller so it will put alert message after its view loads or simply call the user defaults again where you want to display the alert and check value.

  2. use NSUserDefaults in applicationDidBecomeActive:.

    NSUserDefaults * userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
        NSInteger appLaunchAmounts = [userDefaults integerForKey:@"LaunchAmounts"];
        if (appLaunchAmounts == 5)
        {
           //Use AlertView


        }
        [userDefaults setInteger:appLaunchAmounts+1 forKey:@"LaunchAmounts"];

  3. You could count the number of launches using NSUserDefaults.

    Some more info: Saving an int to nsuserdefaults

    You would implement your functionality in application delegate. Most probably in - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application method.

    First you check if your launchesSoFar value is store. If not (if you get nil) you initialize it to 1 and don't forget to synchronize. If it exists already you increment it and again - sznchronize. If it's >=5 then do what you wan't to do.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
