Is Sam of Ohanaware still actively developing App Wrapper? Several days ago I did sent him a mail but got no response.

[image] Anthony G. Cyphers: ETA: I was just made aware that he is still supporting AppWrapper. Very glad to hear this. I planned to keep my license current as long as it was available to purchase anyway. Can you clarify this? Where did you read this?

I believe that sadly, Sam moved on. [image] Rehoming App Wrapper and/or the Ohanaware App Kit General Hey All, The time has come, I’ve made my decision to find App Wrapper and/or the Ohanaware App Kit a new home. I think its best for the community and the pr…

Yes, I did know that. But he never managed to sell it to anyone, so I presume he’s still supporting AppWrapper. However, the fact that I haven’t received any response doesn’t look promising.

His email responses this year haven’t been very fast. I had a problem with AppWrapper which wasn’t solved. Yesterday I finally let ChatGPT make an IDE script for notarization which was super easy. I’m going to migrate my other app off AppWrapper soon.

From what I’ve read, Xojo worked very hard to alienate Sam.

And why would they be motivated to due that?

Let’s be serious, please. Speculation is not information. The statement: “Xojo worked very hard to alienate Sam” is out of the box.
