We’ve submitted the first update of iSEND today. After working very hard on the update we finished the programming and testing last night at 2:00 am. The update addresses the picture display problem and includes also enhanced data transfer speeds, some interface tweaks and a startup help screen. We’ll let you know as soon as the new version of iSENDu becomes available in the iTunes Application Store.

We’ve got a message from Apple:
Dear Mr. Scherling,
Thank you for submitting iSENDu to the App Store. Unfortunately it cannot be added to the App Store because it is modifying or extending an undocumented API, which as outlined in the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.1 is prohibited:
“3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs.”
There is no documentation for creating custom subclasses of UIImagePickerController, the organization or layout of the view hierarchy managed by UIImagePickerController, and any of the custom classes managed by UIImagePickerController in iPhone OS 3.0.1.
Camera APIs are available in the iPhone OS 3.1 SDK that allow applications to take pictures, provide camera view overlays, and add custom camera controls. Please review these APIs to determine if they provide the functionality you require in your product. If your product requires additional functionality that is not provided by the Camera APIs in the iPhone OS 3.1 SDK, please file an enhancement request using the Apple Bug Reporter,
Regards,
iPhone Developer Program

So, the reason for this rejection is essentially user feedback… Which is hard to believe, because Apple is considered to design the most user friendly products.

We’ve submitted the new version of iSENDu to Apple for approval. Hopefully, this time there won’t be a “surprise” and we keep our fingers crossed, that iSENDu gets accepted.
We’ve worked for almost two weeks for the new version of iSENDu. As you see in the screenshots on our page, we changed the user interface completely by aligning it conceptually to the video. Remember the 3d effects, the virtual rooms? They are now part of the user interface. Yes! We have a plan, when we do things 
.
And we do not stop with this version of iSENDu. We plan a couple of new features for the first update. Things like sharing the data with more than one iSENDu peer at once will among the new features of the first update. We plan the release for late September, early October.
And that is not everything: ikangai’s first game is already in development. It’s a game about…. well, that’s a secret for now, but you will find out in the next weeks.
