MobileChat on 1.1.3

  • Posted by Shaun
  • February 18, 2008

We’ll be release MobileChat 2.1 later this week/this weekend. It works fully on 1.1.3.This isn’t a major release, it’s more of a compatibility release with a few fixes and a feature add:

  • Works on 1.1.3
  • DNS Issue that plagued 1.x and 2.0 has been resolved.
  • BSD Subsystem dependency should be gone.
  • Added support for XMPP
  • Tweaked GTalk settings
  • Sign On progress notifications (as seen in screenshots)
  • Disconnect Notification: if you get kicked off, or you can’t sign on, you’ll be alerted now

    • AIM is working fine, the hold up is with XMPP/GTalk. While we resolved the DNS issues that really held both services back during the initial release of 2.0, we’re running into issues with authentication on both services now. We’re exploring the option of upgrading to libpurple 2.3, and have it 95% compiled on the iPhone at this point. Should only be another few days to finish up the port of libpurple to the iPhone and then upgrading the method calls in the application.

    I’m sure the AIM users are going to be saying “I don’t care about XMPP, I want it now” however, believe me, a newly compiled libpurple on the iPhone will definitely improve performance.

    Stay tuned guys!

    Oh, and for those of you who really can’t wait for us to release this later this week, SVN Revision 72 works fine for AIM.

    Hello!

    I want to try and help you in testing this new relase but I cant compile it myself.

    Can you give us a compiled version of this beta version?

    Hooray! I’ve been waiting for this to be finally updated. I assume you’ll have more time to work on this now that your other project was updated?

    Just to give you guys an update:

    Sadly it doesn’t look like we’re going to get GTalk working in the immediate future, so we’re going to pull GTalk support from MobileChat in 2.1. We’ll still have XMPP support as long as the server you use supports the login methods we’re able to use at this time.

    The bigger news:
    We’re adding in horizontal support. Once thats release we’re going to tie up a few loose ends and get v2.1 in your hands this weekend.

    “Hopefully this will be released today. I don’t think I can stand another pushback.”

    Me neither! There’s three apps that I’m currently waiting on at the moment: MobileChat, SwirlyMMS, and iSMS.

    I’ve been checking their respective sites everyday for updates. I ecstatic when I saw their 1.1.3 announcement and how it was to be released “later this week/this weekend.”

    (hoping for a “later tonight” release)

    Some images appear to be broken (show up as black) when used on an iPod Touch. Is there a fix for this?
