to Growl Discuss
Hello, so I just downloaded MacDroidNotifier.app to see what method it
uses to talk to Growl, and it is using an out of date framework, it
made assumptions about the nature of Growl that are no longer true.
You can make it compatible by replacing the framework using
GrowlVersionDetective that you can download here:
http://growl.info/downloads#generaldownloads and on the second tab it
will load a list of all applications which contain the Growl.framework
inside them (this can take awhile). Find MacDroidNotifier in the
list, and hit the Upgrade FW button. MacDroidNotifier should upgrade
just fine, but if you have issues we provide a revert button (although
in this case, it would be reversion to a completely non working
state).
