App cannot launch and only available in AU app store?

[dzulhelmi]

I bought this app, the website is not helpful, left abandoned. Now the app cannot be launched from my mac. No support at all?

What operating system are you using?

[studgeek]

I'm not the original reporter, but I am on 10.6.8.

If I follow the link from http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31472/pomodoro/ I get to the message "the item you've requested is not currently available in the US store". I'll add even though I am 10.6 I can still see other 10.7 apps in the ap store.

If I follow the developers link I see the problem I reported in #274.

Yeah, I believe the application is stil available in Australian store only. Generally it looks abandoned.

Fortunately enough, it's open source. I've already fixed the bug with voice selection that hurt me, and some other cleaning on todo list. I was not able to find other application so well suited to my goals.

[csmu-cenr]

It's not available in the Australian Store.

[pitkali]

Curious. The point still stands though—it looks abandoned. I'm fine with it, actually, as long as features go, because it has all I need. I'm only somewhat worried that one day Apple will shut down all the deprecated API calls it is using :)

Since he is not accepting pull requests either should we switch to a different owner who can add co-owners to bring in those requests, update the local doc, generally keep it at least breathing?

On a related note, does anyone have copies of the original documentation? I can get the top-level from the wayback machine, but the detailed help are not in there.

[studgeek]

Actually, he is actually active (as of May) in ugol/cocos2d-iphone, so he just isn't paying attention to this project anymore. Perhaps we can convince him to add a couple more project admins to keep it going while he focuses on his new project.

[csmu-cenr]

Good idea.

[pitkali]

Agreed.

[studgeek]

I just got an email from Ugol. He does plan to continue the project, but is in a busy time right now and also is dealing with some TM issues around the Pomodoro name. I did encourage him to add someone to help with developer pull requests and so forth. I told him he can do that and still own the official releases of course....

[pitkali]

Superb!

[studgeek]

Well superb if something happens...

[francof]

so, no news?
