I thought Apple frowned on hardware limitations that weren't using that hardware. But I guess stuff slips through review.

Magna Kaser posted:Weirdly enough, Apple doesn't really test apps on older hardware and as a result doesn't much care if an app released in 2013 just makes the iPad 1 poo poo itself. I think Apple's theory is, "if you want to block iPad 1, require iOS 6." In their opinion, no one should be running iOS 5 now.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:In that case, sure. X-Com is worth getting upset about. I figured you were responding to the MFi controller. The controller is probably iPhone 5 only, if its got a lightning port. And iPod touch, I guess.

DIEGETIC SPACEMAN posted:On the game's page in the Android Play Store (I now have the game on my phone and iPad), it says that it takes 60/90 seconds for the game to spawn the maximum amount of alpacas. So just fire up the game every 2 minutes and you'll evolve your monstrosity in no time. Actually I just installed it and this is the only instructional text it shows you in first launch. So there's that.

Simpsons Tapped Out sure has an interesting freemium model. It's so expensive it's really not tempting at all. Like pretty much any premium building is $10. There are dozens of them. Skipping a 24 hour timer is $2 and there are a lot if timers since that is the whole "game." And you earn premium currency in-game incredibly slowly, like $1 a month. So you end up with a lot of players never spending any money at all, and playing the "poor mans version" of the game.

Very true, and Tapped Out is optimized for that. The $100 donuts purchase gets you 24 donuts per dollar, while the $2 purchase gets you only 6. So it would be dumb NOT to spend $100!

Maybe it's secretly Rockstar. A sale's a sale!

Also it seems like the whole lightning port is a pain for third parties, so that complicates things. Still not many products out there with that, a year after the iPhone 5.

Logitech's game controller was also released. Seems very similar to the other one, including the $100 price. http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/20/logitechs-powershell-ios-7-game-controller-now-available/

At least the other one can hold a theoretical longer iPhone. It's a tough design challenge though because a lot of people don't want it to be a half inch taller just in case there is a new wider iPhone next year.

Does this link work for non-developers? https://developer.apple.com/LIBRARY/IOS/documentation/ServicesDiscovery/Conceptual/GameControllerPG/Introduction/Introduction.html quote:There are three kinds of controllers available: "Extended" means it has dual analog sticks and L1/L2 and R1/R2 shoulder buttons. "Standard" means no analog sticks and just L/R. So actually the Moga Ace one is extended, while the Logitech one is standard, and they are the same price.

Also depends a lot on whether the iPad is playing at native resolution.

FlashBangBob posted:An iCloud backup should restore all app data. I think the common problem is that the sign on information is in the keychain which is not backed up in an iCloud backup, only in an encrypted iTunes one. Then when you restore, the application doesn't see an account and resets everything.

xzzy posted:They forgot to generate a statistic for how many hours have been spent staring at the app's absurdly long loading screen. Some discussion on Twitter that the delay could be GameCenter initialization time.
