KATG iPhone App Take 2

[hypercrypt]

WTF?!

The Phone button should be much easier to fix using:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel:+1..."]]

The excessive bandwidth is BS though! There are plenty of apps that use way more data through streaming:
FStream
Tuner
RSSPlayer
...

Just to name a few...

Ok I've thought about it and I am going to fix the phone button, but then I'm just gonna submit it and resubmit it until they take, I'm not taking stuff out.

How long have you been an iPhone developer? Have you used any of your Code Level Supports yet? Mine are expiring, in less than 50 days, so I've been using them. If I don't need my last one in the next month I am going to use it to ask them to clarify 3.3.20 and what they mean by reasonable. I've asked about the provisioning issue with push (changing between development and production) and was basically told that there isn't a solution at the moment. I am waiting on them to get back to me about 3.1 fixing it or not...

Just to make something clear, I've been trudging through android for about 2 weeks and even with all this rejection BS, I would still take iPhone and XCode over android's shit box sdk any day of the week.

The problem is that those guys can point you in the right direction but whatever random reviewer you get has 100% say in what he/she thinks is excessive so even if you do exactly what code level support tells you it doesn't guarantee anything at all.

But do they use the cellular network? It could be fixed by not allowing the streaming if only the 3G network is available (Like Skype does). But if he's just going to keep resubmitting it thinking they will eventually approve it, well, good luck with that.

They do allow streaming over 3G and so does safari. That is why this is bullshit. I have a persistent data connection on my phone, I want to use it.

[hypercrypt]

The other option would be to limit it to WiFi only but to have a backdoor, such as entering brumski into the message field unlocking the 3G streaming.

I think it's TRENT REZNOR time and ask KEET for everyone to send emails.

So 3.1 is supposedly out for developers, but I just logged in and there's nothing there. Anybody see anything different?


Is this what's in the next iPhone update?

Edit: nevermind found it, downloading now.
