SongBook back on App Store

December 1st, 2008 1

A late announcement here, but as some people may have noticed I have been very busy lately.

Apple have approved the latest SongBook iPhone release. I was rejected 3 times because SongBook would not play music, which, of course it was never designed to do. In the end I resorted to changing the code to pop up alerts at appropriate points to inform the user/tester that you couldn’t play music without a Linn DS. Probably a useful thing to have anyway, but I did think it was kind of obvious.

Of the 3 rejections one did come up with a legitimate bug, attempting to play a movie file caused SongBook to crash. I’d never tested this as Linn only make music players, but a crash is a crash, so at least Apple did find something.

There is a bit of version numbering confusion out there at the moment too. The first version I submitted to Apple was version 1.0.1. For each Ad Hoc version I sent out I incremented the version number until we came to version 1.0.5. The problem is that once you submit an update to Apple you can submit new code, but you can’t change the version number. Now that I know this I will be more careful with numbering Ad Hoc releases.
