Beta testers wanted: Glaurung for the iPhone
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2009 10:54 pm
Hi all,
My work on the iPhone port of Glaurung is progressing nicely, and I expect to have a beta version ready for testing within a week or two. There will be two versions of the final product; one for distribution through Apple's App Store (assuming that Apple accepts it), and one version for jailbroken phones. The version for jailbroken phones will be free, and the App Store version will probably be free, but I may still decide to charge a dollar or two. The bureaucracy surrounding developing and distributing apps through the App Store is insane, and I even have to pay USD 99 per year for the privilege of being a member. It would be nice to get at least some compensation for all the incredibly boring work I have to go through just to be able to distribute a simple program. It is still most likely that the App Store version will be free, but I can't promise anything at the moment. In any case, the source code will of course be free.
At the moment, I am looking for beta testers. I'd like to get in touch both with testers with jailbroken phones and with non-jailbroken phones, to make sure both versions of the program work as intended. If you are interested, please drop me an e-mail or a private message on this board, and tell me which of the two versions you would like to test.
