The future of Brandsonic Web for Mac and Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS

-
From the very beginning, Brandsonic Web for Mac and Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS has been developed on my MacBook (Early 2008). Unfortunately, I may have gotten to the point where I can no longer run the latest development tools on this machine, do to the fact that it cannot run the latest OS X required to run the tools. I encountered this when Xcode 5 came out. Xcode 5 does not run on Lion and Lion is the highest version of OS X that my MacBook officially supports. I was able to run Mountain Lion on it with the incredible MLPostFactor, which allowed me to run Xcode 5. Thanks to this, I was able to update Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS for iOS 7. Apple unveiled a new version of Xcode at WWDC that will more than likely only run on OS X Yosemite. Considering I can't even run Mavericks on my MacBook there's no way I will be able to run Yosemite. Do to the high price of Macs, I cannot afford to get a new Mac anytime in the near future. Unfortunately, the future of these versions are up in the air right now. If I cannot run the latest development tools, I cannot update these apps for never versions of OS X and iOS and they may eventually stop working. I may have to stop development of these versions indefinitely until I find a solution. I will try to hold out as long as possible, but I don't know how much longer I can get by.

Small update for Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac

I am releasing small updates for both Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac. I have updated the URL for the default homepage to it's new location . This is in preparation for the Webs shutdown that will be happening very soon. There are no new features in this release. I will also be releasing a version of Brandsonic Web for Mac that already has the Big Sur icon. The icon is the only difference, the application is unchanged. I hope to have fixed the install issues that affected certain jailbreaks with Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS with this release as well. Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS 0.10.1 has been submitted to Packix and should be available soon. Brandsonic Web for iOS 0.10.1 will be available soon on the Google Sites site.

Brandsonic Web mobile, Packix and Havoc

-
I found out on Tuesday that Packix, the repo I've been hosting Brandsonic Web mobile on since ModMyi/ModMy shut down in 2017, is shutting down too. A new repo called Havoc is its successor. I intended to move Brandsonic Web mobile there. I transferred it from Packix to Havoc. I followed all of their guidelines and submitted Brandsonic Web mobile for review and approval. This morning I woke up to an email saying that it was rejected because they are "not interested" in hosting it. I am extremely disappointed and I honestly was not expecting them to reject it. I was ready to announce that Brandsonic Web mobile had been moved to Havoc. This leaves me in an awkward position. As of now, I have nowhere to host Brandsonic Web mobile. Brandsonic Web mobile will still be downloadable from Packix indefinitely but I have nowhere to submit future versions. I will host it on my own if that's what I have to do but I chose repos like Packix so I wouldn't have to go through the h
