Just to let you all know, I am aware of the problems in iVPN 5.8 and I am working on a fix as we speak. Please be patient and I will have a fix out soon.
I apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing people. If you need to use iVPN urgently, please revert back to iVPN version 5.7 using the Change Log page to download it.
Annoyingly, Apple have refused iVPN access into the Mac App Store again! Apparently, no app in the Store is allowed to ask the user for their password in order to access system files. As you can see here from one of the Mac App Store Review Guidelines…
2.27 Apps that request escalation to root privileges or use setuid attributes will be rejected
Well what use is that to nearly half the programs made for Mac? All those utilities that clean your Mac and back it up or change anything that would require your password aren’t going to get in. Seriously Apple, you wanted the Mac App Store to be the one stop shop for all Mac apps, but you’re not letting half of the actual useful ones in!
So, sorry to anyone hoping to see iVPN in the App Store, it doesn’t look like it’s gonna get in. Everyone blame Apple!
You’ll all be pleased to know that I am now offering technical support for iVPN again. Anyone with any problems are welcome to get in touch with me. And as always, if you have any problems and I can’t help you fix it, I will be happy to issue a refund within 60 days of your purchase.
Here’s my first post to the new MacServe news blog! You’ll be able to get all the up to date information about every MacServe app right here. I’ll be using this space for updates, a way of getting feedback for my apps and getting suggestions to make my apps better!
