Code Genocide

I thought I would give everyone an update on iSteamy for iPhone firmware 2.x.

Yes it is coming.

When firmware 2.0 came out there were a lot of changes to the frameworks.

Unfortunately most of the things that were changed are things that iSteamy used.

I had it compiling on 2.0 and running, however a lot of things were not working. For example the photos would show but they were not clickable. Then once they were clickable about every other click and some tmies on first clicks the entire program would just crash. Not to mention I was very unhappy with the stability in version 2.0 and now it was WAY worse. It was just not anywhere near being ready for release.

If I had released it then everyone would hate it because it was basically unusable.

So I decided to take on the task of releasing something worth using.

I have therefore started porting iSteamy to the SDK.

No Apple is not likly to let it into the AppStore anytime soon (ok never), but that does not matter…

The changes to the frameworks in firmware 2.0 were to setup for the SDK, and really all SDK apps are at their base are normal 3rd party apps with DRM on them and then ALLOWED (if your lucky). This is aparent by the fact that it is possible to run AppStore apps on jailbraked devices. (Not that this is a good thing)

So once the conversion is over it will be released without the DRM and therefore without the need for the AppStore.

So bad news is its not ready yet, but the good news is once it is ready it should be the best release yet.

I have included some screenshots below.
