Yes, very restrictive they are. The development provisioning profile is separate, but each iPhone developer account is limited to 100 devices total. At the moment I'm a good ways off from my limit. I won't add any more beta testers after the end of this week as is posted on my site so I should have plenty of room if any other developers wish to help out. Any developers that want in can send me their device's UUID (see http://www.ispeeddial.com/how-to-find-your-iphone-uuid/) and I will add them to the provisioning profile. Then they will be able to run the development version on their devices.

That's new to me. I knew Apple was pretty restrictive to the release of apps, didn't realize it would have an impact on developing and testing of software. How will this affect the devs, I am assuming we also need one of those 100 slots? Anyhow I am very interested in helping out. I have done a significant amount of work on SwordReader for the Windows Mobile platform over the past year and a half and have just grown so tired of windows on my
phone that I decided to jump ship and go with an iPhone.
Hopefully someone else will take on the SwordReader development, but from my experiences I am guessing that the Windows Mobile platform is a dying breed.

In Christ,

No, this will be a free application. The reason that I require sign-
ups is that it is impossible to release a version that will run on
just any iPhone/iPod touch because of Apple's code signing
requirements. Each device's UUID must be added to the provisioning
profile or the device will reject the app. The App Store of course
uses a different system, but that is handled by Apple, and I don't
want to release beta software to the App Store.

I too am interested in working with the iPhone devs on the iPhone
port. I am getting an iPhone later this week and just downloaded the
iPhone 2.2 SDK.
I am curious, why are you requiring sign-ups for beta testers? Are
you planning on selling this software at some point?

If anyone is interested, I am now opening this up for a beta test.

Hi all -
is there anyone out there working on an iPhone version of the
SWORD project? I am looking to team up with people to make an app
with a great GUI and hopefully someday even be able to sync
bookmarks with the desktop versions.

Let me know!

thanks

Jake
