I received my first bug report for Knit Counter today. At first I was wor­ried that I’d missed some­thing in the test­ing for Knit Counter 1.1 but I very quickly real­ised that the bug was present in the ori­ginal 1.0 ver­sion too. The reason it hadn’t been noticed until now is that it only mani­fests itself on iPhone OS 3.1.

The bug itself is minor, though very annoy­ing. It basic­ally makes it all but impossible to edit pro­ject names, counter names and info fields, as the key­board dis­ap­pears after each key press and can only be brought back by hit­ting Save and then open­ing the editor again. This means that while it is still pos­sible to edit names and fields, you have to do it one char­ac­ter at a time which is obvi­ously a very slow and irrit­at­ing process.

I’ve sub­mit­ted Knit Counter and Knit Counter Lite 1.1.1 to Apple; ver­sion 1.1.1 con­tains a fix for this bug and noth­ing more. Unfor­tu­nately if the last release was any­thing to go by, it’ll be a full two weeks before 1.1.1 is avail­able for down­load. If you think this is bug going to be a major prob­lem for you, my advice is to hold off on updat­ing to iPhone OS 3.1 until Knit Counter 1.1.1 is avail­able. Of course if you’ve already updated to OS 3.1 this advice is of no use to you at all, so all I can do is offer my sin­cere apo­lo­gies for the incon­veni­ence caused.
