The DEVkit components (BETAkit for soliciting beta tester feedback from within the application, VIDEOkit for providing drop-in video-out support for your app, TOUCHkit for adding a touch-feedback layer—Apple’s “white dots”, basically, and DEMOkit which provides a Powerpoint-style overlay layer for live app demos) are pretty much tested. Right now, I’m waiting on Brett to set up our site and figure out how we are going to distribute and support this material. (Any suggestions are welcome in the comments!) In the mean time, I’m still tooling away bit by bit at APIkit, which will scan a compiled-for-distribution app and provide a list of likely and potential issues that might pop up during App Store submission.

I’ve opened up DEMOkit (thanks Brett for the strange casing!) for a limited beta. Let me know if you want in. Devs only.

I’ve been putting together DemoKit recently, which provides a TV Out extension to UIApplication. You can see a demo of it in use here:YouTube Video.The point of the exercise is to provide in-house live demo abilities while being able to compile to a complete App Store friendly version that includes no illicit APIs. I’m not really sure where I’m taking DemoKit in the long range so if you have any ideas of how I could productize it, drop me a note.

Latest version of Converter is here and ready for testing. I’m looking forward to your feedback. To install, unzip and copy both the sb file and the folder into ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPholator/User/Applications/. Then run the simulator.

All thanks to Jay “Saurik” Freeman, who figured out how to get launching to work under 2.1. Thanks Jay.

An updated of AppFlow is available now in the Applications folder. If I did this correctly, the executable already is signed and you should be able to drop it into /Applications on your iPhone, respring and go on your way. Let me know how it works.

For those of you devs who want to create ad hoc distributions or for users who need to send unit identifiers to apps, download this free app. Just tap on the icon. It will create an email with the relevant info. Address it, tap “send” and you’re good to go.

I’ve wavered back and forth recently about what to do about XLaunch. It simply got too big and complicated, so I’m breaking it down into three components: AppFlow offers application launching both from a list and from a coverflow viewpoint. iPocket lets you capture data onto your iPhone and share it out to the world, via Bonjour, FTP, and the WWW. I’m thinking of releasing XLaunch with the complete feature set (launching, badging, file browsing, file sharing) as well, kind of as the Godzilla of iPhone file management. Any thoughts on this?
