I really hope I am not doing something stupid here, but I can no longer seem to located this on iTunes. What gives?

Answer 1 · 2013-05-06T22:01:52.000Z

the author of server side asked to remove it from itunes

Answer 2 · 2013-07-01T13:03:04.000Z

That's sad to hear. Is there any more detail about this? Why did he ask to remove it and will it be back at some point?

Answer 3 · 2013-07-05T01:13:51.000Z

He said he is working on his own implementation or something. You can ask him @hbons

Answer 4 · 2013-08-27T07:22:18.000Z

This is unfortunate. I will contact with Hylke Bons and see what he says…

Answer 5 · 2013-08-27T09:51:00.000Z

I don't think that he is working on his own implementation, given the comments "no time, no focus" in hbons/SparkleShare#1383 and hbons/SparkleShare#970

Would you put up that client again?

Answer 6 · 2013-08-28T16:43:10.000Z

Confirmed: hbons/SparkleShare#1383 (comment)

What would you need to put up the SparkleShare client again?

Answer 7 · 2013-09-04T21:52:35.000Z

I can do that right away, I need a permission from @hbons - I won't conflict with maintainer of base project

Answer 8 · 2013-09-04T21:54:05.000Z

ok, I'll republish it in iTunes. But I'm not interested in that project anymore, frankly.

Answer 9 · 2013-09-10T13:18:08.000Z

Thank you very much: any news on that?

By the way, I believe that SparkleShare and your mobile app are a very interesting platform, did you find a better solution for private document sharing?

Thanks a lot, just saw that it is available again:

For people coming here this might be interesting.
After wanting to try SparkleShare-iOS, I spent an evening yesterday to port the outdated sparkleshare dashboard to a current nodejs stack so I can run it. You can find it here https://github.com/kjyv/sparkleshare-dashboard.
I can connect from my phone as long as the server url is not using https. I think right now, it is not possible to use SparkleShare-iOS on a server that uses a self signed certificate which makes it a bit useless.

Answer 12 · 2014-03-28T16:44:34.000Z

@kjyv Way cool! I definitely want to check this out. Do you think https would work with a proper certificate?

Honestly, if we can get proper mobile clients for sparkleshare one could conceivably completely ditch dropbox (maybe supplement a little BTSync for the big stuff).

Answer 13 · 2014-03-29T17:40:31.000Z

I think since it uses AFNetworking, https should be supported with valid certificates. Maybe even with a CA of your own and installing it on the phone. Ideally the app would show an alert that asks the user about it.
There is a ticket about it here: https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/issues/189
Sadly, I don't have a developers license (anymore) to try it.

Answer 14 · 2014-03-29T18:03:40.000Z

At the same time, you could always create valid, free, iOS-recognized SSL certificates over at http://startssl.com

Answer 15 · 2014-06-20T14:57:01.000Z

About the self-signed certificates for documentation: An easy workaround for self-hosted repositories and sparkleshare-dashboard with self-signed certificates and ca is to simply email the .crt file to yourself and install it on the phone. Https is possible afterwards. This still needs some steps but is possible for anyone while startssl might be to much hassle for many.

Answer 16 · 2015-07-09T21:58:43.000Z

The app is gone again :-( Would it be possible to put it on the app store again, pretty please?

Answer 17 · 2015-07-09T23:13:16.000Z

I have been working on lot's of little things to make the app look and behave nice on newer iphones. It also includes the ability to edit files if used with my fork of sparkleshare-dashboard. So @darvin feel free to use that version or commits from therein in case you do put it back on the app store.
