As it stands right now i´m going to lose my full-time job that pays for life.
Not sure how long i can pay the fees to keep my developer account with apple and the payments for the licenses needed.
For now everything will run as usual and updates (new features) will be released soon.
Stay safe and healthy ! next update will be out early April.
While investigating the problems some people have and with implementing the new LL protocol i missed out on OSGrid.
After a user reported a problem with login to OSGrid – even send me the complete error message – i started to investigate the problem.
Five hours later, the problem is the ancient XML-RPC login protocol – not used by LL anymore – but OSGrid.
With the next update the login problems should be fixed, but some of the functions, like map or world-map still won´t work fully.
This “meaningful” message box i received from LL and Firestorm Viewer when trying to login.
Took some days till LL did restore the account – with a rather useless explanation.
Anyway after that forced break the work can continue.
Apple added some obstacles – again – to upload applications but it´s all for our security.
First update for 2020 is ready:
Before blame the app, check the status of the grid used and their forums if your problem is common for all viewers – like the “account already logged in” many users had last days even with the regular viewers.
Apples app-store is closing between 23. and 27. December for updates or new apps.
Sadly not all functions wanted could be implemented because this updates fixes some critical bugs.
Be sure all emails are read; answering however can take some time because of hardware problems with that 2015 MacBook. The app has grown and Visual Studio demands more and more resources.
Took some time to get this update ready, mainly because of the very frequent iOS updates.
