Thomas Hempel iPhone Apps

It was a long exhausting journey but eventually we arrived.

The new versions of PwGen and PwGen pro are available in the AppStore. I already spoke about the new features of the password generators. But just to make sure – here is a short list

PwGen

• Added support for pasteboard
• E-Mails will be sent directly from within the application
• Some minor interface tweaks (fonts, typos etc.)

PwGen Pro

• Added a new feature called “Repeater”. Based on two inputs, the app will create a password for you. This password will always be the same when you enter the same input values. You can use it as lightweight sort of password safe.
• Added support for pasteboard
• E-Mails will be sent directly from within the application
• Some minor interface tweaks (fonts, typos etc.)

I will upload some screenshots here as soon as I make that work again in my wordpress installation.

After a loooooong period of silence I uploaded new version of PwGen and PwGen Pro to Apple today.

I hope they will be approved this time. You might remember that I had some serious problems when I tried to updated the pro version last time. That days I couldn’t find the problem because of which the new version way rejected by Apple. But I’m pretty sure I found it today (sometimes you just need an outtime of one year  to getting things done, right?) and so I fixed that.

When I finished that I thought that it might be a good idea to also implement some things that have changed since the last version. So I decided to put some more effort into it and implemented support for the pasteboard and in-app emails.

The update for the pro version is of course free for all customers who already purchased it.

Internally I eventually cleaned up my subversion and brought everything to the right revision. So I’m ready to do some more stuff in the future if anyone comes up with a brilliant idea for a new feature.

First of all I really have to apology for the silence the last months. I somehow lost the motivation to work on the applications over the trouble I had with the Apple review process. Anyhow, I have a new and in my eyes neat idea to realize and so I restarted iPhone developing. It’s much harder than I thought it would be. I really have to start from scratch in many areas. But I think it will just take a few days to get back on track.

Believe me, I would rather release new PwGen versions today than tomorrow but I have to wait what Apple says about the new version. You know the game.

Anyway, I hope I have something more to tell here over the next days and / or weeks.

Last tuesday I wrote, that I sent a new version of PwGenPro to the Apple review department. Unfortunately the update was rejected because of a stupid crash of the application. Well, AppStore guy reported a crash that I could not reproduce but I found a nother one. Now I have fixed that and hope that the other crash will not appear again.

I also took the chance to add a small new feature. You can now set, that the tool should avoid ambigious characters. It’s pretty easy because it just leaves I and O out of the character base. This is by the way a feature that was requested by user who gave me feedback!

Hello,

this weekend I have uploaded a new version of PwGen Pro to Apple for approval. The new version number is 1.1 and it includes some bugfixes and a new feature.

NEW:

• “Repeater” is a new function to generate and store passwords. It takes a base password and a target and generates a password from these two. The same combination of base and target will always result in the same generated password.
  If you use mysecretbase as base password you could use the URL of a website as target to get a hash value based on this two words. It will always be the same as long as you use the same base and target.
• The number of generated passwords can now be set more detailed in lower regions. (1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5)

FIXES

• The about text was editable
• The settings icon was changed a little bit

This is a free upgrade for all who purchased PwGen Pro.

Greets,
Thomas

Hello,

one of the most requested features for one of the next versions of PwGen was sending passwords via SMS. Well, I tried to implement that but unfortunately it is not possible. You can’t set a bodytext for a new SMS programatically as you can do for new emails. It’s sad but true. This feature will not be in the tool in the next time. Sorry folks.

Greets,
Thomas
