FYI v1.1.1 was live a few days ago with some improvements and bugfixes.

And we'll be running a free campaign for this version with AppGratis next week

phongtt

The game is FREE today with AppGratis. Enjoy!! :-bd

@phongtt congrats!
Why do you choose AppGratis for your free campaign? Could you tell us about your experience? Should we paid AppGratis for the campaign?

@phongtt I've just installed it on my ipad 1. If I start it, the screen briefly turns black and then it quits. I've restarted my ipad, I have removed and reinstalled the app, but still no luck. I'm interested in finding out why, since I'm evaluating Gideros. The ipad is on iOs 5.1.1, which should be ok.

@dobi
Thank you. Just got a 1-star rating from a customer for the same reason
We're investigating on the issue. I believe it's more from the way we code.
Newer iPad should run fine without any problem.

by the way do you guys have dropped the ipad1 intentionally or it was bug ( just curious )

I'm also updating my iPad 1 from 3.2 to 5.1.1. Maybe I can also give a clue about the crashing.

dobi

@phongtt, Just to be clear, the 1-star rating isn't mine. If I can help you with crash logs or something, just let me know.

phongtt

Hi guys,

This is a cross-promotion agreement between AppGratis and Guava7 to feature Game42, if you're playing this version, you'll see a 5th game and that's AppGratis game

They have different campaigns but for small studios like mine they could help a lot, you may want to try

@Nascode:

I happened to read about their "rising" on the presses and felt they could help more or less with ranking/visibility. They were very responsive and nice to me.
Better than nothing huh?

But the campaign has just started today, I don't have a conclusion for now about their effectiveness. Let's see.

phongtt

@dobi don't worry I didn't mean you for sure

btw, could you please send the crash log to me?

s u p p o r t (at) guava7 (dot) com

Thanks in advance!

phongtt

@hgvyas123 No we didn't want to drop support for iPad1. It actually ran well on iPad1 Player, but it was my bad I was not carefully enough to re-test the XCode build on that iPad1. Maybe some native code issue such as our plugins (?!)

hgvyas123

ohhh great i had tested the game long time ago in friend's ipad1 and i think it gives crash at the time of splash screen so only on reason i know is you may have included any framework which is not supported in lower ios version and may be setting that framework to optional will solve although not sure 100%

klausmmia

Hey, have you given the codes?? Or do we have to wait for them?

phongtt

@klausmmia: what codes? you mean promo codes? it's still free you could download it, quick!

phongtt

I receive one report saying that it crashed on iPad2 iOS 5.1

We'll try to downgrade our iPad to 5.1 tomorrow to check it.

Anyone can help if you currently have such configuration? Thanks!!!

phongtt

Now I "feel" enough the need of a crash reporting system
@Ricky.ngk is implementing Critterism.

dobi

crash report emailed

tkhnoman

Just like @hgvyas123 said.
I experienced this before, if you have AdSupport.framework and Account.framework included, then it might be the problem.

phongtt

The bug is fixed (it's AdSupport.framework). Thanks a lot @tkhnoman.

Nearly 100K downloads with some good comments & many bad ones as well. What a pity! ~X(

phongtt

@techdojo: thanks Absolutely! Still a long road ahead.

Version 1.2.0 is now LIVE on the AppStore (I submitted yesterday and requested an expedited review coz the crash bug is really serious)

Change log:

+ Crash bug on iOS older than 6.0 is now FIXED!
+ A new fun game: Othello (aka Reversi)
+ Game Center achievements
+ Co Ganh: added "jump over" rule
+ More background music
+ Several UI tweaks

ar2rsawseen

There are expedited reviews?
Reviewed within 1 day? Wow

phongtt

Yup, or more accurately: I submitted the update and the request at 11:00PM then at 8:00AM in the morning I received the mail "Your app status is Ready for Sale"

phongtt

Btw, I believe it's very rare (as Apple say so), depending on case by case.
I remember last time I did the same thing for Cerberus: The Puppy coz there was a mistake in IAP functionality but they rejected the request (actually that mistake was not really critical)
