Virtual Tags for iOS

  Overcloud the crowd!

New 3.0 version submitted

After more than two years the focus of which was on the development of the new apps for the public transports, I am pleased to announce a new version of Virtual Tags has been submitted. The main reason was the oncoming release of iOS 8 requesting a different handling of the localization permissions, but it was also the chance for adapting several procedures hitherto introduced. So Virtual Tags is now based on a StoryBoard structure, has Arc, Autolayout, of the 4’’ format and more. So far little is modified in the user’s experience who may still leave her messages all over the world and see those of others in augmented reality, but the new structure paves the way for more future improvements.

Unbelievable sequence of unlucky event

Since November a number of unfortunate events plagued the current application. As for the starting thing all users with the new iOS release, special programming item is no longer supported and that results in a crash. As for the things you do not see, the programming toolkit (Xcode) started crashing while opening the project what was finally solved with the help of the Apple staff by confirming my project did not crash their version. So I had my mac reformatted and reinstalled and the problem went away. All finished? Not quite: as one of tests done to solve the issue, I upgraded to Mountain Lion having been offered this possibility by Apple. So after reformatting iPhoto was apparently touched by Mountain Lion and did not work any longer: so I installed again Mountain Lion and the iPhoto problem was solved; yet one of the latest updates did not allow the current Xcode to work asking to install a new version (4.4) that, in addition to requesting a Mac Development enrollment for strange reasons, did not allow to submit updated to the iTunes Store. So I had to reformat again my Mac and have Lion reinstalled and now I hope at the end to the updates I will finally be able to tackle the Virtual Tags application and the other apps both to solve this crash and adding new exciting features!
