  • Roomr for Android – Rebooting

    Now that Roomr for iOS is nice and stable (Full AutoDiscovery implementation, full support for global timezones), my attention is now returned to Roomr for Android. Since I released Roomr for Android back in 2013, I’ve learned plenty by developing a client app, Call My, and by tinkering on my apps Job… Read ⇢

  • Creating appointments using DayView Control

    I’ve been experimenting with the DayView control I created for Roomr and Peopler and today I added the ability the add an appointment with touch. This mimics the behaviour of the native iOS calendar app. You hold your find on the calendar for a second or two and an appointment… Read ⇢

  • Peopler – Future availability

    Whilst Peopler isn’t exactly being downloaded in the millions, I’ve received *actual* feedback from users, which shows they are a) using the app and b) interested enough to email me! One feature, which I’ve wanted to add for a while, is the ability to view the future availability of your favourites. It’s… Read ⇢

  • Roomr 2.7.5 – More Diagnostics

    One of the most common bugs reported in Roomr is an incorrect free/busy calculation. I’ve done a lot of work over the past few months to make this more and more intelligent, handling parallel meetings, tentative meetings and multi-day meetings. Each time I submit a version, I wonder who the… Read ⇢

After some reading I learned that whilst this feature only works on Supervised devices, it should be configurable with an MDM. The App Lock is performed by installing a configuration profile on the device. TestMDM hasn’t… Read ⇢

  • Bundle Selection within TestMDM

    A few recent TestMDM customers have had issues with their IPAs due to the fact they have multiple bundles within them. These are extensions to support Today Widgets or the new Apple Watch. Up to now, I’ve gotten lucky, as the Plist.info files within the IPA seem to fall out in the right order,… Read ⇢

  • ActiveSync Contacts Server

    I didn’t get as much time this week to work on my ActiveSync server as I would have liked, but I’m happy to say I have Contacts now syncing. Syncing is a stretch, since it only works one way! I’ve published the service to Azure, so if you’d like to… Read ⇢

  • Beginning ActiveSync Server

    In order to occupy my mind whilst I look for a contract role (if you have one, please let me know!), I decided to start digging into ActiveSync and see what would be involved in building a simple server. As I’m looking for a new role, I get calls from recruitment… Read ⇢

  • TestMDM now supports VPP

    After a very kind request from a user, I decided to add basic VPP support to TestMDM. As of 2 minutes ago, you can now: Add your VPP token. Register new user accounts within your VPP account. Assign licenses to these accounts Install apps from the VPP using the MDM… Read ⇢
