New SongBook touch version

November 4th, 2009 1

As many of you know an update for SongBook is long overdue. We’ve been having a bit of a problem with the App Store submissions, our last release has been in review for 34 days now, neither rejected or approved. This is very frustrating as it is holding up quite a few important features and fixes.

We emailed Apple about this and have not received a reply yet. Only silence.

So maybe something has gone wrong with this particular submission? Just in case we have removed that version and resubmitted a new release. That takes us to the back of the queue again, but as Apple helpfully informs us, 87% of application reviews are currently completed in 10 days or less at present, so it can’t be worse than the current submission.

Interestingly though while going through the process of the latest submission we became aware that our Distribution Provisioning Profile had expired. We hadn’t noticed this before, and the development tools do not make you aware of this, but perhaps that is what the problem is. We generated a new profile and have now resubmitted, so hopefully we will have better luck with this version.

The new release adds support for Linn Cara 3 and 4 firmware, and fixes an issue with network events not getting through. This has been fixed for over a month now in development, but we cannot get it out to you.

There are other improvements such as wider device support, and improvements to startup time and reliability.

I just bought the current version THEN found this blog post. Software looks pretty good so far, but there are a couple of irksome bugs. Sounds as if the new version might address these though. Fingers crossed! Good luck in your dealings with Apple!
