Strange event possibly consequence of iOS 18
09/07/24 :15:56 To be also found in: Bugs
For unfathomable reasons the app started producing a black screen when installed on the iPhone from Xcode instead of the camera with a number of funny errors in the logs: this problem does not involve the app in production that works regularly, but prevents me from submitting updates that would include the correct editing of text in clouds and the possibly of puffing clouds by Siri, once another problem is overcome. I shall keep you posted.

ARKit support since version 6.0
09/07/24 :15:48 To be also found in: New Releases
Possibly collecting the requests by many developers weary of having to do with Quaternions, Gyroscopes and other arcane mathematical tools, finally the ARKit tool was introduced allowing to leave to apple the positioning of the objects in Augmented Reality and just having to handle the logic behind. Of course as soon that possibility was granted Virtual Tags adopted it provided a much more seamless experience without clouds rotating as the effect of Gimbal Locks.
New 3.0 version submitted
07/09/14 :16:01 To be also found in: New Releases
After more than two years the focus of which was on the development of the new apps for the public transports, I am pleased to announce a new version of Virtual Tags has been submitted. The main reason was the oncoming release of iOS 8 requesting a different handling of the localization permissions, but it was also the chance for adapting several procedures hitherto introduced. So Virtual Tags is now based on a StoryBoard structure, has Arc, Autolayout, of the 4’’ format and more. So far little is modified in the user’s experience who may still leave her messages all over the world and see those of others in augmented reality, but the new structure paves the way for more future improvements.

Unbelievable sequence of unlucky event
09/03/12 :15:56 To be also found in: Bugs
Since November a number of unfortunate events plagued the current application. As for the starting thing all users with the new iOS release, special programming item is no longer supported and that results in a crash. As for the things you do not see, the programming toolkit (Xcode) started crashing while opening the project what was finally solved with the help of the Apple staff by confirming my project did not crash their version. So I had my mac reformatted and reinstalled and the problem went away. All finished? Not quite: as one of tests done to solve the issue, I upgraded to Mountain Lion having been offered this possibility by Apple. So after reformatting iPhoto was apparently touched by Mountain Lion and did not work any longer: so I installed again Mountain Lion and the iPhoto problem was solved; yet one of the latest updates did not allow the current Xcode to work asking to install a new version (4.4) that, in addition to requesting a Mac Development enrollment for strange reasons, did not allow to submit updated to the iTunes Store. So I had to reformat again my Mac and have Lion reinstalled and now I hope at the end to the updates I will finally be able to tackle the Virtual Tags application and the other apps both to solve this crash and adding new exciting features!
