[QUOTE="webherper, post: 1399746, member: 250145"] No it goes like this. He had a company (which I think turns out to be just a one man shop) build the application. He paid him up front, which was his first mistake. So the guy says it will take a month or two. Well 10 months later , after not responding to countless emails, calls, TM's, this guy sends him an email letting him know the app is done, approved by Apple, and now available in the app store. So my buddy, very excited at this point, goes to the app store, find the app, downloads it, and hits the floor screaming because its nothing like he asked it to be. So, he calls and calls and calls to get the guy on the phone and gets no response. He asked me what to do and I said you need to demand to at the very least get the files. He knows I have been working on learning how to build apps for Android and was eventually going to learn Apple anyway. A couple weeks later the guy sends him the files. So my buddy sends the files to me and offers to get me whatever equipment I need to learn the process, become a member/developer for Apple, and fix his application. Of course part of this included signing a non-disclosure and no-compete agreement, which I was fine with because I understand business and he has already been jerked around once. So while I was in the process of getting approved by Apple, he brought over an IMAC, sent me the files, purchased a couple of books, and I have been teaching myself xcode and the whole development process. Everything I know about computers I learned myself so he was confident I could learn this, and I had the same confidence, just did not expect to have to learn it in 2 weeks. haha Last week I received my approval, and now Im knee deep in the code and trying to get this thing fixed for him. The more I learn, the more I realize how messed up the project is that this programmer put together. It works; its functional, but its ugly, its missing a bunch of stuff, and worst of all it wont install on a new iPad, which dramatically affects the business model that the entire thing was founded on. Anyway I forgot what your first part of the post was so will go back and look that over and thank you again for your help with this. I know it wont be the last questions I have but will I sure do appreciate you helping as quick as you have so far. Regards, MH [/QUOTE]
