iOS 7
Hello! iOS 7 will be coming out tomorrow so I thought I'd share an update.
I will be working on iOS 7 updates for the iPhone apps (KJV, DR, RSV, RSV-CE, EOB, OSB). The bad news is that these updates will not be able to support iOS 5 -- they will be iOS 6 & 7 only, if that. (There is a chance they'll be iOS 7 only if it becomes too difficult to support both. But most every device that supports iOS 6 also supports iOS 7, so I don't think that'll be a problem for most.)
Because there are still a couple fixes I want to send to the iOS 5 folks, I submitted what may be the final iOS 5/6 update to the App Store for KJV, DR, RSV and RSV-CE today. EOB and OSB will also be updated soon.
The current versions in the App Store work pretty well in iOS 7. I did notice a little more crashing in iOS 7; today's submission contains a fix for that.
I've been using iOS 7 for the past week. After some initial disorientation, I am coming around. I am looking forward to the apps I use updating to the new aesthetic and am looking forward to updating VerseWise as well. Particularly there are some advances in text display that I would like to use. (I guess that's an argument for going iOS 7-only.)
Stay tuned!

Orthodox Study Bible 1.2 in App Store
In case you haven't noticed already, OSB 1.2 is now in the App Store!
- Fixed crashes in start-up and Today's Reading
- Fixed Facebook sharing to use native libraries and thus work how you'd expect (iOS 6 only)
- Fixed Isaiah 49 (no longer appended to chapter 48)
- Fixed Wisdom of Sirach, Epistle of Jereimiah, Joel 3 & 4 entries in Reading Plans
- Other minor fixes & enhancements
Unfortunately there still appear to be some start-up crashes. (Argh!) I haven't seen any crash reports coming in for Today's Reading, but let me know if you've seen one personally.
There is also a problem entering Today's Reading in landscape orientation. Will fix that!

Sirach and Epistle of Jeremiah in OSB Reading Plans
Another fix coming soon are "Wisdom of Sirach" and "Epistle of Jeremiah" entries in the Orthodox Study Bible Reading Plan entries. Unfortunately they were labeled "Sirach" and "Letter of Jeremiah" and thus were not loading correctly. (Computers can be so literal sometimes!)
The affected plans:
The affected plans:
- Bible in 1 year (chronological)
- Bible in 1 year (mixed)
- Major Prophets
- Wisdom
Thank you to Anna G. on Facebook for pointing this problem out!
OSB Isaiah 49
Apologies to those looking for Isaiah 49 in the Orthodox Study Bible! It's there, just appended to chapter 48. This was due to a parsing error that has since been fixed. An update will be available soon.

Those reading the book of Revelation...
Rather, those using VerseWise Bible KJV or RSV to read the book of Revelation when the v4.4 update for the iPhone came out. You may have noticed the app now crashes on start-up. Sorry!
Doing data migration is always a tricky prospect and I had to do some in v4.4 for the iPhone when I added to the deuterocanonical books in KJV and RSV, mostly dealing with bookmarks and highlights. Fortunately I think the intended migration logic works fine.
Unfortunately, those in the non-deuterocanonical Revelation had one value incorrection caught up in the migration -- their "last book" number. The one the app uses to go back to the last book you were reading. That got changed from "66" to "67". The app, knowing their is no book "67" in the non-deuterocanonical Bible, refuses to open it. And crashes.
Sending out a fix ASAP!
