My apologies...

My apologies... I started again to develop iBirthDay, but the problem is:
"Apple has instituted a strong “one-application-at-a-time” policy.That means as a thirdparty developer you cannot develop applications that run in the background"

I'm looking for how bypass this limit... :(

iBirthDay for 1.1.1 is not longer available! I have lost it in a recent hard disk crash :(

Hi Chiafa,
is there anyway I can contribute to the project ?
Let me know, thanks
Roc

chiafa said...

Hi Roc,
yes you can! Are you developer? Do you know how to launch an app like a daemon in new firmware 2.x?

roc said...

No, sorry, I am not a developer, I am just offering my thoughts. What about not launch the app with a daemon but with a message generate from the calendar app ?
Probably I just wrote something stupid !!
Sorry and keep up with the good work.

ciao
Se il problema è apple che non permette
Di pubblicare app che camminano in background
Allora perchè non la rilasci tramite cydia?
Puoi rilasciarla anche a pagamento!
Spero che la tua app faccia presto la sua
Uscita!

Hi Chiafa,

First of all I love your program ibirthday, and I miss that program for 6 months now with iphone 3g. I always keep my eye on your blog about this program. And I wanted to thank you for your hard work.
I have an idea about your program. You can make it into a widget that runs in winterboard, just like the weather widgets or even like the livetime widget. I think that will be either for you and much simpler. Birthday theme that will show either below the status bar or above the dock, the persons birhtday name and age like "John Smith's Birhday (35 years old)". If there is already themes for clock and weather that already pulls information from phone system, I am pretty sure it can be done by pullling out info from the calendar database. And sorry for the long post, but I LOVE YOUR PROGRAM and you are the only talented programer that has created it so far.

Thank you

@anonymus, your idea is a great idea... but the problem is: I have not idea how to realize it!!! I'm not so talented programmer!! :(:(:(
But i'm studying :)

Hi chiafa. I just want you to know that in Mexico are someone who is waiting for your excellent app too. Keep up the good work, Im sure you will nail the solution.

Hallo Chiafa,

i also think that your application is a great one adding missing functionality to the Iphone/Ipod touch. I have never used it, as i have started to use the iphone with the firmware 2.2, but i have been missing this functionality from the start. I have read a lot about your application and there has been only positive feedback so far :). Maybe you should take a look into this forum: http://hackulo.us/forums/. Maybe you can find help there for your problem running applications in the background on firmware >= 2.0. Keep up the good work.

iBirthday is out.
Now QuickBirthay is Fantastic.

Ragazzi scordatevi iBirthday, è uscita una nuova applicazione su Cydia, si chiama QuickBirthday è funziona alla grande!
purtroppo è a pagamento, ma esiste già una versione craccata nel web, se volete vi mando anche un link!!

QuickBirthday is not even close of what iBirthdayd can do.

Is there a solution yet? or is there an alternative?

Did you already check if there is now - with OS 3.0 and the Push-Function - a new way of "updating" your App?
