Hi iDVB,

I apologize for not being able to devote more time to this project. My original plan was to (1) drop in the already-finished LFHTTPRequest as the stand-in of OFHTTPRequest/OFPOSTRequest, which are showing their age and design constraints, (2) offer a libxml2-based replacement of NSXMLDocument that coverts Flickr response block directly to property lists (NSDictionary/NSArray/etc.). But apparently fixing the framework is harder, especially when I know there are projects depending on the trunk.

A better idea might be to offer a branch out of the trunk. Do you find it a sound idea?

I’m currently using a version of ObjectiveFlickr that I ported (threw many days of hair pulling) to “the-device-and-the-OS-that-shalt-not-be-named-although-I-think-it-can-now-be-named”

It’s combines TouchXML, ObjectiveFlickr and a fair bit of code changes and constant changes.

I now have it working 100% and am currently working on an app now.

Please let me know if you’re interested in knowing more. I’ll be keeping a close eye on your progress in this area as it will definitely affect our project.

Have you considered porting ObjectiveFlickr for the iPhone?

For me the most important feature is compatibility with the iPhone SDK. I’m already using ObjectiveFlickr using the iPhone Simulator, but as long as NSXMLDocument is referenced, my app cannot be deployed on a real iPhone.

Do you have a target date for a iPhone SDK compatible version of Flickr?

Keep up the good work!

Great,

I’ve just released a plugin for iPhoto using ObjectiveFlickr for non-commercial use.

I hope to use your future API in the future.

Thanks

I’ve been using ObjectiveFlickr for about a year now and I’ve run into limitations. I used it in conjunction with NSOperation/Queue and I’ve had a problem where my app started using a *huge* number of mach ports. Seems to go back to obj-flickrs’ NSXMLDocument dependency. It’s been a while but I can’t say for sure. Anyway, I haven’t shipped an app with it yet, so I have no problem with the API changing.

Thanks for ObjectiveFlickr.

I think backward compatibility with previous interfaces is less important than making an iPhone compatible version available quickly. Whichever path would result in the quickest iPhone-compatible library would probably please the most developers. My two cents …
