iSteamy version 3 is now completed and ready for beta testing.

I will be sending out beta details tomorrow (or I guess later today since its after midnight).

So if you want in on the beta please leave a comment or email.

Please only ask if you are serious about BETA testing and not just getting it early.

I need people who will file bugs.

Thank you all for waiting.

Update: The beta is now full. If you did not receive an invite we apologize.
Depending on how the beta goes we might open it up to more people, but hopefully we can just get the beta completed quickly and get it out to everyone.

Thank you for all your support

I thought I would let you all know that iSteamy for firmware 2.x is VERY VERY close to being done!

All that is left is Saving items, and the Password protecting ability.

I REALLY REALLY want to finish this up this weekend, but there is only one day left at I am already on 3am of that day. So we will see what happens.

If not this weekend it will be very soon after, but like I said, I am going to try for this weekend.

I am debating if I should do a full release when its ready or if I should do a limited beta first…

If you have a point-of-view, please leave it in the comments.

(If you vote for a beta, and you wish to be in that beta, also leave your email address or email me and let me know you would like to beta)

I will probably base my decision on your responses, so please let me know.

There has been some talk on twitter about how to create your own IPA file for your iPhone app, so I thought I would give the instructions that I have used to build an IPA before. Enjoy.

1. Create a folder on your desktop called “working”. Open that and create another folder inside of it called “Payload” (case-sensitive)
2. Move your iTunesArtwork file into the “working” folder and your .app into the Payload folder.
3. Open Terminal and run the following command: chmod -R 775 ~/Desktop/working/Payload
4. Go into your ProgName.app folder within Payload.
5. Double-click the Info.plist file. Make sure there is a item called: SignerIdentity with a value of: Apple iPhone OS Application Signing. If there is not, add it.
6. Zip it all up. Zip the iTunesArtwork and Payload folder. (So zip up what is inside of the working folder)
7. Rename the zip file to have the name you want, and the extension of ipa.
8. Double click to install with iTunes

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.

I have added 10 new ringtones to our iPhone Ringtonecast.
Easiest way to use these is to subscribe to this Ringtonecast as a normal podcast in iTunes.
When you download them they will automagically show up in the Ringtone section of iTunes and then you can sync them like normal to your iPhone.

Enjoy.

KillExchangeLocks is a simple free iPhone application that helps the fact that with the new 2.0 Exchange support you can get locked into having a passcode and auto-lock setting on your phone. Even manually changing the plist you will then be asked to set a passcode again at least once a day. Instead of updating your plist everyday, just simply click on KillExchangeLock and your plist will be set to not require a passcode and never auto-lock.
