I had the same question "What's this even about?" but I decided to read the article and magically my question was answered.

I never heard of this until just now and this is my good friend that wrote the post. It reminds me of Halo from the show Continuum. The early alpha version before it gets deeply integrated into your physical being. Fast-forward 10 years and

I've got 99 problems but too many push notifications telling me I made money, ain't one. :) I have a couple things in the works that can help reduce the number of push notifications you get. For example, for my account, I'm only getting not

1) No it's not open-source but I do plan on opening up the Stripe lib I've built. 2) Negative. That would be a great option but some Pay Pad users want the full featured access, including accepting payments from the device. I think about th

Parse is cool, but the pricing is a deal breaker for me. According to their plans page ( https://www.parse.com/plans ), I'd need a pro account to enable multi-app push. Pay Pad is three apps actually so the combination of UrbanAirship and W

I confirmed with Apple this morning that this is not the case. Update the blog post: http://coovtech.com/posts/the-apple-reaper/

Here's what I wrote in my appeal. I tried to speak in the most simple terms as possible. I hope it works: " The rejection states that "if the purchasable content, functionality, or services are intended to be used within the app, they must

"before even attempting to resolve it using the normal methods" - I know I left it wide-open for assumptions like this. I'll update the post with what has transpired since my conversation with him.

The iPhone version is a brand new app. The iPad versions were updates that they approved. He said they will be taking them down.

It sounds like bs, but then when you look at Square and PayPal, it makes sense according to this "rule", I guess.

Why would I create a new application?

re-submitting without the best feature (in my opinion). That's the plan... Although a lot of good ideas have been coming in about how to get around it.

I built and iOS library for this last night (i'll open-source it soon). I love this idea and for iOS apps that don't have a web backend, this is a great and easy way to implement CRM with your app user info. We use TestFlight a lot in our i

In addition to Pay Pad, we also have Alerts for Stripe: http://www.pay-pad.com/alerts Also, Zapier open-sourced a nice dashboard that uses Stripe Apps: https://board.zapier.com/

These are all on my short list :) To do #1 and #2 require a larger backend system. I've been building that system for the last couple weeks... Stripe allows you to pull 100 records at a time via the API, so what I've done is combined the AP

If Stripe decided to make their own iPad app, I would be fine with that. It's not going to put me out of business. In fact, I could save them the hassle of having to build their own... :)

Not a bad idea. As a site owner, I prefer to have my checkout branded as my site. I'm not a fan of the paypal experience. It feels cheap. However I certainly understand that people prefer paypal over stripe or other payment systems. To say

I think the biometrics angle is interesting and will become more prominent in our lives as the tech gets cheaper, smaller, and easier to implement. But biometrics doesn't pass the grandma test (you know, grandma who doesn't use cell phones,

Xcode 4 does a nice job of pointing out objects you may have forgotten to wire-up in IB. Prior to that, I struggled with IB. I realize now there is a cadence to it. Declare, synthesize, wire-up, implement delegate methods. Forget a step and

To be fair... The classes were a joke. We wrote the same mortgage payment calc in Java, VB, and SQL. In other words, college programming is a waste of time. iOS taking twice as long had little to do with Objective-C, although I do find the
