Today I read an amusing article on Daring Fireball that describes the thoughts and processes of an App Store reviewer. I’m sure it’s fictitious, but it sure hits home for a lot of iPhone developers, including myself. I really feel like this is what’s happening to my app. Note the bit about the use of […]

Today I got the dreaded rejection notice. It had to do with some icons that I had licensed from IconDrawer.com for my app. Apparently some of them might look too similar to some of Apple’s own icons. So I updated the icons and re-submitted this evening. Before After One good thing about this is I […]

I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at what I’ve been working on for the past couple of days while I wait for Tap Forms 1.7 to be approved. One of the often requested features is the ability to rate items. I’ve always wanted to add a rating system to Tap Forms and now […]

Just to keep everyone informed as to what’s going on with the 1.7 update. I submitted 1.7 for approval to the iTunes App Store on May 10th. A few days later I decided to resubmit version 1.7 to correct an issue that came up in late testing. It’s been 6 days since that last submission. […]

The author, Raven Zachary from O’Reillly Digital Media talks about what it takes from a cost perspective to develop an iPhone app. Mr. Zachary makes […]

I was approached a couple weeks ago to participate in an upcoming Easter app sale by the folks at www.easterappsales.com. Call me crazy, but I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go. As with any sale that goes on, there are always those who miss out on it. But I think most […]

Just a quick post today to let you all know that I’ve started to implement AES 256 bit US Government standard encryption in Tap Forms. Originally planned for a version 1.8 update, it will now be available in the next update to Tap Forms, which will be version 1.7. Stay tuned for an announcement for […]

A few people have had difficulties sending files to Tap Forms. Here’s a brief guide showing you how to do this. The first thing you need is an FTP client application. My recommendation on the Mac is Cyberduck. You can download Cyberduck from cyberduck.ch. On the PC, I’ve only had experience with FileZilla. You can […]
