[UPDATED]Tiny Code website down and no longer providing updates via installer app!!

Posted on 19 February 2008 by Phoenix


What does this mean you say and who the heck is the “Tiny Code”?  

Tiny Code, among other things produce fixes and such for 1.1.3 apps such as iFlix, vonagent, iPhysics(missing levels), etc.  They basically have a repo that provides fixes for problems with the iPhone, latest firmware and applications developed by other parties. 

 It seems now that their installer is no longer providing updates as well as their website if offline.  It now redirects you to the Apple developer site.  See for yourself - Tiny Code Hmm. . . Could this be true that 1.1.4 is just around the corner?

According to Kelly(operator of Tiny Code)

One: Yes, I have a copy of the Apple SDK for the iPhone targeting firmware 1.1.4.

Two: Yes, Tiny-Code.com was ordered to be removed from operation by Apple, Inc because by releasing firmware versions and stating I had possession of the firmware and SDK was apparently a violation of the Non-Disclosure Agreement I agreed to when I accepted a copy of the SDK and firmware.

Three: Yes I was wrist-slapped by Apple and won’t be included in any further firmware beta’s or testing/coding.

And finally, Four: No I cannot disclose any more about anything without getting into more trouble, stating the above is ok because well let’s face it, there is documented proof I already have and Apple already backhanded me for it.

I don’t have a date for when the SDK should be available, even if I did, I couldn’t say more than I have.

Sorry for the confusion and sorry I can’t update my repo anymore, at least not until the new firmware is out.

PS: The link to apple dev center, that is just to stop the “where did it go” questions. Apple didn’t ask me to, I just did.

Regards,
Kelly

We will just have to wait and see how this turns out. Can’t be too much longer before the SDK is announced. Let’s hope there is a ton of good news soon!

 
[UPDATE]: Well, it seems that this story was a tall tale just like Jack and the Beanstalk. Sorry guys, this Rumor has been busted!
According to TUAW and the same Mac Rumors forum that the other comment came from, Kelly posted his confession.
Seems that he was just out to play a big joke on everyone. While a cruel and dirty joke, it does in fact proves that, well, rumors are rumors until proven different.
See Kelly’s public confession on the Mac Rumors Forum here.
 
(Thanks Stalker for the tip on that!)
