Wednesday, 24 Aug, 2011
After a last minute rejection, TouchCab and TouchCab Free version 1.6 have now been approved for sale in the iTunes App Store. If the apps are not there yet, they will be within the next 24 hours.
The rejection was due to TouchCab not looking good on an iPad, which is fair enough, since it was never built for it. After recompiling for iPhone and iPod only, the review process was picked up immediately (wow) and there were no further issues.
So - TouchCab is off the iPad for now ...
Also, I had to restrict this version to iOS 4 or better, since I no longer have any means of testing for iOS 3.x. Sorry folks, but that is the way it’s gonna be. I have had reports of 1.6 crashing on iOS 3.x, but no way to solve it.
You may find that things behave slightly different in version 1.6 compared to 1.5, and this may cause some getting used to.
Please check the release notes or the instructions if you are uncertain. I’m sure you’ll appreciate it after some operating sessions.
What’s next?
•TouchCab 1.7: XpressNet accessories
•TouchCab 1.8: Märklin CS2
•TouchCab 2.0: Track plans, iPad and Mac
Have fun, and don’t forget to tell me if you find anything strange, OK?
