I Made an App, but a Bug is Found.
My joy today, as the Make Me Smile app was approved, was quickly squashed as I discovered a little bug when you would take a picture to use as your “Make Me Smile” photo. It seems that when you first use the app, if you use a photo from your library everything works fine, but if you have a camera enabled device as it would be, and opt to take a photo, that first photo will not be saved to your iPhone library, meaning that if you take another photo, your first picture will be lost forever. The subsequent photos are saved, and when you update things should be saved, but for that first use only, it wasn’t saving the picture. As I don’t want people sad when they use my app, I did find a fix, and version 1.1 has already been submitted to Apple for approval. I’ll post a much happier “Holy Crap I made an iPhone App” post later, hopefully within hours, as then all will be well!
[...] Low and behold, a little bug that I thought I fixed somehow re-appeared. The thing is it was a bug that might make you frown and not smile, especially if the first “Make Me Smile” picture you took using the app was priceless, because, well, there was a glitch where the app wouldn’t save the first picture it took. All other pictures would be saved to your library, but not that first one. So instead of a joyous “Holy crap, I made an iPhone app,” all of a sudden I was just saying “Oh, crap.” And made my previous post. [...]
