FindMePhone 1.0.1 and 1.0.2

Sean Ferguson — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 09:09:07 +0000

We released FindMePhone 1.0.1 a few days ago to address a couple of issues.

First, support for the iPad. FindMePhone extracts the necessary data from MobileMe to display it in a friendly, familiar interface on the iPhone, and the data MobileMe provides for the iPad was a bit different – something the app didn’t expect, so we had to adapt.

Secondly, and certainly more importantly, it solves the problem of being told that you’re not connected to the internet when trying to sign in, despite the fact that you very clearly are. Apple changed something on their end that resulted in the iPhone not trusting one of their security certificates, so the app refused to sign in. Though we’re not exactly sure what or why they changed it, we’ve managed to work around it.

Unfortunately, we jumped the gun on the release of 1.0.1 and since all worked well in the simulator, we used the same build commands we’ve always used in the past and pushed an update out, expecting everyone’s issues to be resolved. As it turned out, it was quite the opposite: FindMePhone 1.0.1 crashes as soon as its launched!

After a day and a half of changing a thousand settings, trial and error, and tons of frustration, we eventually discovered that something had changed in the new iPhone OS 4.0 SDK that was preventing any app we compiled for the jailbroken platform from running on the actual device. After removing the 4.0 SDK and re-installing the 3.2 SDK, all was well. We psuedo-signed the app just as we did before, but this time, it worked exactly as expected.

As of the time of this writing, FindMePhone 1.0.2 has been submitted to ModMyi (thanks to them for hosting for us!) and Rock Your Phone, so it should be available in Cydia and Rock within the next 24 or so hours.

Thank you all for your patience through this rocky series of events!

FindMePhone, an iPhone client for MobileMe’s Find My iPhone feature

Sean Ferguson — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 05:57:55 +0000

We are pleased to announce the release of FindMePhone, an iPhone client for MobileMe’s Find My iPhone feature.

FindMePhone is the only way to use MobileMe’s Find My iPhone feature directly from the iPhone. Keep track of your kids, keep tabs on your employees, or use a friend’s iPhone to find out where you lost yours!

Locating an iPhone using FindMePhone requires that the iPhone you wish to locate is linked to an active MobileMe subscription with Find My iPhone enabled.

FindMePhone communicates directly with MobileMe. Your credentials are transmitted securely, and never sent to our or any third party servers.

Unfortunately, Apple would not approve this for the App Store due to the fact that it accesses MobileMe in ways that they do not support. Thus, this app is only available on jailbroken phones at this time.

FindMePhone is currently available on Cydia and Rock Your Phone for $1.99.

Longitude 1.5.3 released, fixed error -1012 bug

Sean Ferguson — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:02:13 +0000

Longitude 1.5.3 is now available in the Cydia Store and will be available shortly in Rock.app. This version fixes the intermittent “NSURLErrorDomain error -1012″ problem that many users have begun to experience over the last couple weeks. It was a mistake on our part, though we’re not entirely sure why it hasn’t become evident until recently. Regardless, it should be fixed now!

Longitude 1.5.2 now in the Cydia Store!

Sean Ferguson — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:32:51 +0000

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Longitude 1.5.2 in the Cydia Store. The Cydia Store version is automatically authorized to be installed on any devices which have previously installed Longitude from either Rock or Appsidy.

Longitude will be available on Cydia within 24 hours, and the same sale applies. Any purchases made from Rock Your Phone now will automatically work for Cydia at any point in the future.

Longitude: The first & only automatic Google Latitude updater for iPhone

Sean Ferguson — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:59:14 +0000

Over the weekend, we released our first major product for the iPhone platform:

Longitude is an automatic background updater for Google Latitude, keeping Latitude up-to-date with your location without any work on your part. Just install the app, configure it once, and you’re set!

This is the first and only product on iPhone to accomplish this. Unfortunately, due to Apple’s restrictions, this product is only available on jailbroken phones.

Longitude is currently available from the Rock Store for $1.99. Coming to Cydia soon.

A world-changing innovation…

Blogging: the design and editing of a blog.

The first so-called “weblog” was created December 1997, with the term “blog” coined a year and a half later. In June 2008, blog search engine Technorati indexed over 112.8 million blogs. Here we are a year and a half later, and the number is millions and millions more…
