Happy New Year jukebox friends!
I'm looking for current users of My Vinyl to beta test a new version of My Vinyl for both iOS devices and for the Mac. Yes, finally a version for the Mac. For iOS you need to be at least on iOS 12 and be an existing user of the app. For the Mac you need to be on macOS 10.15 or better. At least I think that is the minimum version macOS required. Please email me directly to carl@carlhaines.com if you are interested and let me know if you can test for iOS, Mac, or both. It may be a week or two before I have something ready for testing.
What's going on with the app? I am changing out the underlying database so that I can store more information and add new features to the app. For reasons I won't detail here I was sort of locked into the original database schema which limited me from adding new features that would required additional fields in the database. As a part of adding support for a new database I had to write new code to handle the data synchronization with iCloud. Previously I was relying on technology provided by Apple which limited my visibility in what was going on with iCloud and was also one of the reasons there were issues with adding new fields to the database.
I'll provide more details to the beta testers later, but the things that need to be tested is the migration of data from the old database to the new database, synchronization across devices via iCloud, and the Mac version of the app.
For those that are unfamiliar and want to know what it is, information about the app can be found here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-vinyl-for-jukebox-owners/id500003023
Thanks
