Update: gCalWall & gCalWall Lite

I’ve gotten a couple of emails giving me some feedback about crashing in both applications. It would appear that some are having the app crash as soon as it opens, others are crashing when they hit the settings page and change the text options. To be honest I was able to recreate the crashes – but only on 2.x software. I had a report of the app dying on 3.0.1 but so far I haven’t seen that yet.

So, that brings me to the next points:

1. I have tried as best I can – but I can’t get any of my 3 devices to downgrade to 2.2.1 – without that I can’t test on device.

2. See the picture up there? Snow Leopard. Yea, it came out. Yea, I bought it. And while is rocks – there’s one thing that sucks… The iPhone 3.0 SDK on Snow Leopard DOES NOT support older versions of the SDK, and you can’t install older SDKs. So what does that mean? That means gCalWall and gCalWall 1.4 will be 3.0 only. With no way to test older iPhone builds there’s little I can do – SORRY!!!

3. gCalWall Lite is moving to an ad supported model. With a couple thousand users over the past few months (and over 50% of my full version users being cracked versions) – it was time to find a better way. So ad supported it is. But with ad support, I’ve decided to turn on basically everything from the full version in the lite version.

There you have it. That’s the update. Let me know what you think – and again I’m sorry for having to drop 2.x support. Unfortunately Apple has dropped 2.x support from the SDKs.
