  • 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 ⇢

  • Configuration Profile support with TestMDM

    I got an email from a prospective user of TestMDM regarding the Single App lock feature. 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

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 ⇢

  • PassVerse.com – the end of active support and development

    PassVerse has been part of my life since I first sketched out the idea on a Virgin flight to Las Vegas in the summer of 2012. It has grown and morphed over the intervening years, taught me lots and made me feel both despair and joy! Alas, all things must come to… Read ⇢
