About iPhone 2.0 and AppStore

Until now, I'm not sure if NemusSync can be released though AppStore.

Technically, I think NemusSync can run on Unjailbreaken 2.0 iPhone/Touch. I'm not sure, because I have no license for iPhone 2.0 SDK for now.

Legally(SDK License), I have no idea about that. Because NemusSync manipulate some iPhone DB by itself(not through Apple API), there are possibility to break the license.

Anyway, I'll prepare NemusSync for iPhone2.0 in two weeks.

If NemusSync is not allowed for AppStore, I'll release it though BigBoss's repos and you may get it through AppTapp Installer.

FAQ

A: This is mostly because of timezone. iPhone's timezone must be same as Google Calendar's.
Check install instructions above
Q: Is it Possible to sync calendar periodically?
A: From 0.5.7, NemusSync can run in command line mode.
And, Here is instruction from Andrea Palisca (thanks!) ---
Sangwook,
I created a simple .plist file to run NemusSync via launchd every x seconds (set to 300 below):
Instructions:
1) Save to: ~/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.paf78.autoNS.plist
2) Load using: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.paf78.autoNS.plist
or reboot.
Feel free to post on your site, if you wish.
Cheers,
---
