Dear all
Thanks for all of your notes of support. It's been a very busy period - not least because the UK has decided to leave the EU meaning that I've a lot of very worried clients who'd like some support changing their business models (and reducing costs) and getting it done quickly. Just as I was thinking - hmmmm I think I'll enjoy semi-retirement and spend more time doing what I really like doing (private tutoring for Maths GCSE->Uni) and some code development the world just changes around me. Not that I'm complaining - I enjoy working almost as much as the other things.
However, that's meant that I've spent precious little time with my indigo setup and neglected some of it's functionality.
There seem to be some common themes around the current issues with iFindstuff. The main problem is that Apple have changed their 'security' login process which means that many of you will be getting a 'you've logged into... from another browser" emails every time it checks where the phones are. I know how annoying it is because I was getting the same message. The issue is to do with cookies and the fact that apple isn't checking properly that you've logged in from the browser before by glancing at your history. I had to fix this problem once before in the code and I think I have a fix now. I'm testing it on my system first and then I'll release it to the wider audience. It is annoying tho in the meantime - leave it with me.
As an aside, I've also been learning Swift and developing an iPhone based app that will automatically send an update when a location changes rather than iFindStuff constantly polling your phone to see if something has changed. This greatly enhances battery life and also gives additional functionality.
I'll work on all of the issues over the weekend and provide a hotfix for the apple cookie issue in a standard release format.
Regards
Mike
