Support for iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update
emily (Remember The Milk) says:
Just wanted to re-post the contents of my blog post regarding iPhone 3.0 so that folks are aware of this:
"As many iPhone and iPod touch users are no doubt aware (and counting down to!), the iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update will be available from Apple today.
Due to the many technical changes in iPhone 3.0, we’ve submitted an updated version of the Remember The Milk app to Apple. This update improves stability and performance on the iPhone 3.0 software, and fixes some bugs that are specific to iPhone 3.0 (in particular, the “swipe to complete tasks” feature won’t work on iPhone 3.0 without the updated version of our app).
We’re currently waiting for our updated app to be approved by Apple and made available for download on the App Store; we’ll update this post as soon as it’s available (in the meantime, if the “swipe to complete” feature is critical to your workflow, you might wish to hold off on updating your iPhone to 3.0 for just a little bit :)."

Are there any new features in the update? Push? :)
emily (Remember The Milk) says:
odelaney, I was wondering how long it would take to get asked that question (3 min apparently :)
I'll have a follow-up blog post answering this very question just as soon as Apple approves our updated app.

For those that can't wait to update to 3.0... i.e. everyone probably!
The current version of RTM's iPhone app still works pretty well on 3.0. As Emily states, the main thing is that the swipe to complete doesn't work, but you can click 'Edit' in the top-right of the screen, then select the tasks to complete/postpone and click the appropriate button at the bottom. Doesn't take too much longer!

I can't wait for the push notifications to come.
I only signed up for RTM because Apple had stated push would eventually come.
Oooo so close now.

I never knew swipe to complete existed. Now I can't wait to install the updated app so I can try using it, as well as (hopefully!) pushy mcpush.

And embedded maps like Omnifocus have done?

@pstoffel, this would be great, but unfortunately spotlight is not useable in Apple's SDK. Hopefully they'll open this up to 3rd party apps at some stage though.
hebbet says:
apple is very slow in reviewing the apps that is not nice :(
Hopefully the updated fixes a problem with marking tasks as done

OMG, the wait on this is killing me. I only just recently discovered the swipe to complete feature, which instantly turned RTM on my iPod Touch from a pretty app that irritated me to my most used app that is literally helping me run my life. I see there are a LOT of people who don't know about the swipe to complete -- should be better documented. I can't stand going back to marking things complete from within edit.
Anyway, I can't wait for Apple to get their butt in gear -- I literally would have held off upgrading to 3.0 had I known about this first. I've been checking the updates about 10 times a day hoping to see the update.

"very slow" at the best if times. Since OS3.0 went live there's been very few updates or new apps. Especially ones that use push. There's rumors that they are having issues with push now, which would explain the lack if RTM (with push?), Beejive IM, NotifyMe, etc etc etc. It seems they are holding back app updates that will be using push with any intensity. Pathetic. They've also removed any mention of push notifications from the OS3.0 software update site. Tiny.

Ok I take it back Beejive and AIM updates are live now with push so hopefully RTM will follow shortly. Obviously I'm just speculating that RTM will give us push right now. Here's hoping.
fric says:
If RTM gives us push I'll eat my ipod touch and buy an iphone right away.
fric says:
Oh, and push on Beejive works very well, even on my ipod touch.
azcoov says:
I dislike that a reputable company like RTM can post a 3.0 compatibility update and get put on the back burner by the app store review process but other developers who are posting these NC-17 nudity apps are being quickly approved. (yes I'm being dramatic)

Kevin, "swipe to complete" makes the iPhone app so much better! You will love it, just as I miss it terribly. The web interface seems so clunky in comparison to the iPhone interface, that even when I'm at my computer, I use the phone to track my tasks.
Feature request: I would enjoy absolute positional prioritization of items (perhaps as an option, and certainly with the iPhone's usual drag-drop list-arranging interface). Priority is far too vague (but don't add more, that would be silly), and while I use dates to prioritize, that still leaves me with a vague sense of what needs doing *now*. There are "to-do" apps that literally only let you see the next item on your list. You can either do it or postpone it. Apparently psychologists (or marketers) are telling us we need that. I disagree, but I still would prefer to tell RTM "this high priority/today item is more important than that high-priority/today item."

It's finally out. I don't see any updates except swiping works and push for tasks with times (no push of badges, though).
chandra.gaajula says:
I just got the update for Version 1.1.0. Everybody, Time to Update your App on iPhone.
chandra.gaajula says:
Hip Hip Hooray!!
The notifications work great. This takes the app to a whole new level. Thanks for a splendid job.

Emily - OK - it's out, its installed and it works! Now what about that 'further blog'...
hpb says:
Will be interesting to see how push notifications work now that the update is out!

It's out! And it rules! Thank you bob! I'm guessing it would be ab we should be thanking really?
Why no sounds or badges options for the notifications though? I only see an option for alerts, so I just get the popup with no sound or change to the badge.
It's still great to have push working with RTM though.

hpb says:
Push is working alright but there is a few kinks that are really really anoying.
There is no sound for the push notifications (no option to turn sounds on either)
swiping the keyboard lock off brings you into the app
Seeing as the app launches you don't get the badges without going into the app
Hopefully this will be resolved.

RTM iPhone version 1.1.0 just went live. Claims to be 3.0 tested, push reminders, improved stability/performance, and bug fixes. Updating and checking it out NOW!

fric, I hope that iPod was tasty... :)

Now that the update is available and Push Notifications is out, I'm going to close this topic and re-direct everyone over to the new Push Notifications topic. Thanks for all the feedback here!
