May want to hold off on today's update

[Robert McNamara]

Hi All,

You may want to hold off performing the update to Torc 1.11.  BEcause I'm now working with XCode 5, certain layout requirements are being pushed on me and layout in iOS 7 is seriously fouled up.  I'll need to do a new version, but it's going to take me at least a few days to work out, and then another week to get a new version out.  Bear with me while I get this fixed.

On the plus side... UTF-8 titles work again in recording scheduling ;)

Robert - the following helped me "transition" apps to Xcode 5 and iOS 7 :

The magic being:

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7)
{
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
}

Thanks a lot, John.  I really appreciate it.  I actually have completed converting the layouts on the iPhone version to  full autolayout.  It's not too painful, just really tedious testing everything.  I have one or two bugs I'm trying to correct on the iPhone version, then I'll do the same on the iPad version and hopefully get a new version submitted by Sunday.  I'll request expedited review since I know this is a very inconvenient regression to you guys, and you have my apology.

Hi again guys,

I spent all of last night on this morning completing the conversion to autolayout.  I'm submitting a new version now and requesting expedited review.  Hopefully this means a corrected version gets to you by mid next week.  The upside is a number of longstanding UI inconsistencies got fixed as a result.  I'll keep you up to date as things progress.

Just wanted to stay on top of updating you all.  Thanks to those who contacted me via email about this issue-- I see that I have received a negative review of the app due to this issue.  I can't fault that user for the review, this is something that shouldn't have slipped past.  I worked under the (mistaken) assumption that in changing only one small piece of backend-related code, there was no risk to the UI layouts.  That was obviously incorrect, and not something that will bite me (or you!) in the future. I hope that when the new version makes it out, that the user will consider an update, but I understand regardless.  Thanks to you all for your patience.

Apple has reviewed and approved the 1.12 version, fixing the layout issues caused by the last version.  You should see it in your updates very soon.  Thank you all so much for bearing with me.  To those who left critical reviews, I acknowledge that this issue is my responsibility.  I hope that once you have confirmed that all is well again, that you will consider amending your review.

Thank you all as always for your support.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for providing the update.

In the Library screen one still cannot read the titles of the bottom row in case there are 12 screenshots shown. Moreover, it is hard to judge if the application is doing anything when the refresh bottom is pushed (I do not recall if this was any better in the previous versions). On a more personal note, I liked the colors of the previous versions better.

Regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Notes inline.

Indeed, this was a bug.  I have resolved it for the next version.

This is the same as it has been since the beginning.  You can usually tell by looking at the activity spinner in the status bar.  This seemed preferable to me, since the refresh is asyncronous, to allow the user to continue to read/browse until the updated data appears.

 

On a more personal note, I liked the colors of the previous versions better.

I haven't changed anything graphicswise in about a year-- Do you mean the tab bar at the bottom?  If so, this is just what comes from compiling against the iOS 7 SDK-- These are the stock colors for the common UI components like status bars, toolbars, buttons, etc.

 

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert,
Indeed the bar at the top and bottom have changed.
