I haven’t posted off topic items to my blog in a long time, but I got to go snowboarding with presidential candidate Gary Johnson at Tuckerman Ravine in NH a couple weekends ago. Outdoor Magazine wrote an article about it and included my (poorly edited) video of the day, too.

Emails:
I’m trying to catch up on the emails, but I’m a few days behind now. Please be patient, or post to the user forums where others might be able to help you out or your question might have already been answered.
Server:
I had to switch hosts for catamount.com. My old host had been having issues for a few months and wasn’t doing anything to correct the problems on their end. Almost every day catamount.com was slowing to a crawl and the host company was rebooting the server. It wasn’t due to an increased demand on the server by catamount users, but some other issues with their servers. Hopefully, the new host will be more responsive to fixing things when they aren’t working.
Forums:
Due to the server switch over today there might have been a few messages lost which were posted to the forums on the old host while the server change propagated through all of the name servers. Please repost to the forum again. (You won’t be able to post to the forums on the old server any longer which is how you can tell if you are on the old or new server.)
Rant coming…
When I added ads to CheckPlease LITE I had the same complaints so I knew it was coming, but CheckPlease LITE customers have gotten over it, and I’m now making a reasonable revenue off the ads in CheckPlease.
Typically my apps get into the “In Review” queue within an hour, and then take 3-5 days to get approved. CheckPlease was submitted on June 16th and is still in “Waiting for Review”.
I didn’t get to submit PocketMoney 3.0.6 until tonight which includes urgent fixes for the keyboard compatibility with iOS 4.0. So if you are a PocketMoney user, you should definitely hold off on upgrading to iOS 4.0 until after PocketMoney 3.0.6 is approved. Otherwise you will be forced to copy and paste your decimal point into your amount field in order to enter your transactions.
Now to contrast Apple’s AppStore process with the Android Marketplace. We had our first Android app submission today (that our intern Ross wrote). When we submitted CheckPlease it was immediately available on the Android Marketplace.
I’m looking to hire two computer science interns for the summer. Office is located in Dover, NH – no remote internships. Get some real world work experience programming iPhone, Android, and OSX/Windows applications. Pay will be between $10 and $15/hr. Send cover letter and resume to hardy@catamount.com.
I’m all set on beta testers for PocketMoney for iphone/ipad. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me.
Apple only allows developers to have 100 spots so it’s a hard limit of the number of devices that I can add to the beta test pool.
I’m looking for some beta testers that want to use PocketMoney to sync two devices together. iPhone to iPhone, iPhone to iPad….
I will need the UDID from all of the devices you want to test on. You can test on three if you have three.
email support@catamount.com with your details.
I was porting CheckPlease to the iPad, and when I tried out the German localization I got a black screen with error “Failed to load NSMainNibFile MainWindow” in the debug console.
I’ve been localizing my apps since the first release and typically never have an issue.
Googling didn’t find an answer, but I finally discovered the problem.
I had created a new project for CheckPlease for iPad. By default it set “Localization native development region” to English, which is well and good since that is where I am, but I use the “en.lproj” naming standard for adding xibs to my project. When the user sets their device to another language it will look in the en.lproj folder for the xib file if there isn’t a xib in their language’s lproj folder.
So “English” versus “en” was the issue. I set “Localization native development region” to “en” and everything is working again.
We are having an iPad/iPhone user group meeting on April 5th from 5PM-7PM at The Block Gallery & Coffeehouse in Winooski, VT (at the top of the round about corner of rt 7 & 15). There will be a couple iPads there so you can come an try them out and meet with other iPhone/iPad owners and developers in Vermont.
