I’ve just pushed an update to Rivet for iPhone to Apple for approval.
This version is an update to iOS4, including multi-tasking support and the ability to control music playback with the background audio controls. It also adds the ability to browse your iPhoto and Aperture photos (this already exists on the iPad version).

I just heard from Apple that Rivet for iPad has been approved and is now available.
It was loads of fun to develop – the added screen size of the iPad makes for a significantly sexier UI than the iPhone client:

After a couple of problems, Rivet for iPhone is now available in the app store.

As an added bonus, Rivet is only $4.95 until July 1st.
Oh, and the iPad version is coming soon – with a much fancier UI..

In addition to trying to figure out the whole “being a dad” thing (I don’t think I ever will, but its been a blast so far), for the past couple of months I’ve been busy working with the smart folks over at The Little App Factory on a number of different projects:
I’ve also been spending what free time I have evenings and weekends working on an update to my book – which should almost double the page-count. As well as including the 2 chapters that were published as online-only content for the first book (we ran out of pages last time!), I’ll be updating and adding new content to cover the changes being introduced in the 4.0 release of the iPhone SDK.
Busy times!

I just heard from my publisher and it looks like with all the excitement around Apple’s new iPad an update to my book may be in the very near future.
Stay tuned…

A little late (I just got home from a couple of weeks in Canada), but I hope everyone had a great holiday season and here’s to what I hope will be a great new year..

When I’m not writing iPhone or Mac applications, I still dabble a little in web development.
I’ve just finished a project for Freeview (working with the good folks over at McCann Sydney) to build a CMS for their website.

I just received the following email from Apple (Conversion farts when you shake it – hence the word is in the search keywords):
“We’ve reviewed Conversion 2.2 and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store at this time because of inappropriate ‘Keywords’ used to identify your application. We cannot post applications that contain irrelevant keywords in their search criteria. Keywords must be applicable to the application content. It would be appropriate to remove fart.”
