XPISigner removed

June 30th, 2011 kevin No comments

I’ve removed XPISigner from this site. It no longer appears to work correctly with FireFox 4 and 5 and I no longer have the time/resources to try keeping up with it.

The source code is available on Google Code : http://code.google.com/p/xpisigner/

I was at a communion in Castlecomer today. A very colourful building inside.

Possible issue with XPISigner and Firefox 4

March 29th, 2011 kevin 7 comments

Some xpi archives signed with xpisigner are failing to be verified in Firefox 4.

Signature Verification Error: the signature on this .jar archive is invalid because the digital signature (*.RSA) file is not a valid signature of the signature instruction file (*.SF).

The signatures appear to be correct and it appears to be the chaining via intermediate certificates that is causing the issue.

This is being investigated now and should have an update tomorrow.

AppStore ‘Report a problem’ doesn’t…

November 30th, 2010 kevin No comments

at least not to the developer.

The ‘Report a problem’ link/button in the iTunes and device AppStores only sends the customer’s problem to Apple. There appears to be no means for Apple, having determined that it is not AppStore/Purchase related issue to make these reports available to the app author.

I have recevied bad reviews in the past from people who have submitted several issues via the ‘Report a Problem’ system and have grown frustrated with the lack of response from the developer.

I would expect that Apple, after checking that the report is not related to offensive content, security etc, would make the reports available to the developer. I’d suggest that iTunesConnect would be a suitable location to publish the reports.

It should also be possible for the developer to reply to the person who submitted the report. either directly (email address) or proxied via Apple to preserve anonymity.
