The rejection reason appears to have been a mistake. The first email said:

"We were unable to access the core functionality of sharing over the network as mentioned in the marketing text since no ip address and port is given."

But WriteRoom.iPhone uses Bonjour for that. So I wrote back and said no IP address or port was needed. They wrote back and said:

"Core functionality was achieved as described in your documentation. Please resubmit your original binary and we will contact you if there are any problems."

I resubmitted immediately and am now waiting. Waiting is definitely irritating :)

What was the reason for rejection? I'd love an iPhone version of WR!

(as an iPhone developer, these stories freak me out; I'm spending too much time coding iPhone apps to have them mysteriously rejected...)

Thanks Jesse.

No I'm not a developer. I have just been trying to some means to enable Edit in capability without the need for Input Managers.

Current status is not much has changed. You can download the most recent version from the QuickCursor page.

The only big change is that last week I began moving my codebase to github, and that make it a lot easier for me to share the code. Are you a developer interested in the QuickCursor sources? If so (or if anyone else is interested) I'll make an effort to clean things up a bit and get the QuickCursor code shared in github in the next few days. Let me know.

Yes. I'm first releasing an iPhone version of WriteRoom as a test. That app is done, but was just this morning rejected from the app store, for what seems like a really dumb reason to me. I'm now trying to figure out how to get ahold of someone at the app store to argue that rejection. Grrg.

So once WriteRoom.iphone is in the app store and gets a bit of testing and feedback, then I'll start developing TaskPaper for the iphone based on a lot of the same code that I use for WriteRoom.iphone.

Shorter answer is, yes, work being done, but still at least a few months away.

Wow, Bubbles is rising fast in the charts again. Was somewhere in the 80 on the top 100 free apps list. But now it's up to number 24.

Thank you for the Xcode Template Factory! I was trying to follow instructions on the Web for turning an ordinary project into a template, but kept getting error messages from Xcode about appending nil strings.

One thing: In the template the Factory produced, I had to go into the .xcodeproj bundle and remove two files, namely those with suffixes .mode1v3 and .pbxuser - after that it was fine.

This is on Leopard 10.5.4, Xcode 3.0.

When you registered with Apple as an iPhone developer, did you do so as an individual or as a company?

My own registration (as a company) is still in the queue, and I am beginning to think the registration as a company just slows down the paperwork.

Thanks!
