To the best of my knowledge, there are three ways to generate random numbers on the iPhone: The first, SecRandomCopyBytes:

UInt32 randomResult = 0;
int result = SecRandomCopyBytes(kSecRandomDefault, sizeof(int), (uint8_t*)&randomResult);
if (result != 0)
randomResult = arc4random();

The second, arc4random:
UInt32 randomResult = arc4random();

The last (and worst) rand():
UInt32 randomResult = rand();

In the last few weeks, several high profile iPhone developers have very publicly announced their intention to stop developing for the platform. Many of them cite Apple's very closed, opaque, often arbitrary App approval process. Some cite other things, but the one common thread is that they feel Apple is neglecting and abusing its developer community.

For those that are interested, we currently have 3 new games in the development pipeline. We hope to submit one to Apple this weekend. The other two we hope to have completed at the end of this coming week. Drop us an email (jon@threejacks.com) if you're interested in being a beta tester for any of the upcoming games.

P.S. The last two games have GameKit functionality integrated into them so you can play head to head with your friends!
