I’ve received a lot of comments on the new version. Although quite a few of them want to downgrade (?). Apparently people do not like the new giggle and audio tracks. I changed them because many people said they didn’t like the original ones. Nobody ever emailed to say what they did like...

So now I need to find a way so that people can choose which sounds they want. I’ll work on this over the weekend. Luckily I didn’t submit 1.1.1 for review yet, so I may be able to sneak those changes in before I release it to Apple.

I just received notification from Apple that version 1.1 of iGotchi has been approved for sale on the App Store. It’s still not showing up as version 1.1 on the store yet, and may take a day or so to appear throughout iTunes.

This version will be followed immediately, by 1.1.1, which fixes a few bugs/annoyances I mentioned in a previous post. Once iTunes Connect allows it, I’ll upload the newest binary.

Also, a new version of iTunes is available. I haven’t tried it or tested it out yet. But hopefully it addresses some application updating issues others have been reporting about on the internet.

Versions 1.1 and 1.1.1 are done. Version 1.1 has been submitted to Apple, but in further testing over the weekend another bug/annoyance was found. So I spent some time fixing that and making one other change. It’s called 1.1.1...

The caveat to all of this, is that once you submit an application for updating, you can’t re-update it until the previous version has been approved. I emailed Apple to see if I can swap out the 1.1 version for 1.1.1, but haven’t heard back. In any case, a new update should be coming out on the App Store in a couple of weeks, depending on how fast Apple reviews the application. From what I hear so far, update reviews are slow. So it may be a while, but unfortunately, I’ve no control over this.

Also, I’m looking for beta testers for future releases. If you are interested (there are some requirements), let me know by sending a message via the Contact Form.
