![]() ![]() Update: Otto has been updated and is now available again. If you’ve got an iPhone and you’ve got a little one whose growth you’d like to track, go get it! At any rate, whoever made that happen, I really appreciate it! I did mention in the review notes that only the App Store metadata had changed. ![]() I should note that I did not request an expedited review. Fortunately someone on the App Store review team apparently took pity on me and moved the update through the review process in less than a day. That wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, but I wasn’t too happy about it. When I realized my mistake, I fully expected the App Store would continue showing the older version of the icon until after Apple’s holiday break that starts this weekend. It is only the App Store metadata that changed. Aside from the version number, 2.6.1 is identical to 2.6. The only way to update the icon is to submit a new binary, which is just what I did. Unfortunately, you cannot update the App Store icon (or the screenshots, for that matter) once the update has entered review. I didn’t notice this oversight until 2.6 became available yesterday morning. There was nothing actually wrong with 2.6 itself, but I forgot to upload the updated icon to iTunes Connect when submitting the app update. So, why 2.6.1 and not 2.6? Well, 2.6 was actually available for several hours yesterday. Therefore, I decided to stick with just bumping the minor version number. However, most of that will never be seen by users of the app, and outwardly this is a pretty incremental update. It definitely has the feel of a major new version to me. These under-the-hood changes are so significant, from my perspective, that I was very tempted to call this BabyGrow 3. Less of my time will be spent dealing with outdated techniques, workarounds for very old versions of iOS, and so on. These changes won’t make a huge difference for BabyGrow’s users, but they are important nonetheless. Much code has been reworked to take full advantage of the modern Objective-C runtime. A lot of dead code from much earlier versions has been removed. The majority of the UI has been reworked to take advantage of storyboards and auto layout. Under the hood, BabyGrow has been thoroughly modernized. And, of course, I fixed a number of known bugs. The entry editor has also been improved, adding support for copy and paste and other niceties. Today I am proud to announce that BabyGrow 2.6.1 is now available! Outwardly, this is the “iOS 7” update, fixing a number of issues on iOS 7 and updating the UI to fit a little better with Apple’s new design vision. ![]()
