Hi everybody,
I’m sorry that my app still doesn’t work on OS X 10.8 “Mountain Lion”. I’ve looked into the problem a while ago and concluded that I cannot easily fix it. This is not an issue of me wanting to get paid to do this. I’m currently busy at my job, but my plan is to install Mountain Lion and to give it another try at the end of November or in December this year. I cannot make any promises though, since the problem is not caused by my code; it is an issue of the Bluetooth library BlueCove that makes use of outdated Bluetooth APIs, which have been removed by Apple in Mountain Lion. Unfortunately, nobody seems to maintain (the Mac version of) BlueCove anymore. I’ll give it a try, but I probably don’t have the expertise to fix this.
FYI, Smoothboard for Mac is based on (the same technologies as) my app, hence it won’t work either. On the other hand, if the developer of Smoothboard fixes (or replaces) the BlueCove library, the same solution should be applicable to my application. The app by Primate Labs mentioned in an earlier comment probably uses the newer Bluetooth APIs recommended by Apple. However, this won’t help me much to fix the BlueCove library, especially since their code is not available.
