Over the weekend, SimplyTweet 2.1 has been approved and is available in the App store. Some of you may notice that the application name still says "SimplyTweet 2.0". The version number says 2.1. It IS 2.1. There's a story behind this:

For every SimplyTweet update, whenever I want to change the application description or application name, I would not do it when I submit a new update. There was a bug in iTunesConnect, the tool which Apple provides developers to submit updates. If you change the description (including the application name) for a new update, the change sometimes take effect immediately. For e.g. if I upload v2 and change the application name and description to be for v2, it may take effect immediately even though v2 is still in review and the current version is v1. So what do I do? I don't change it when I submit a new update. Instead, when I get the email from Apple (sometimes I don't get that email at all, it's wonderful when your users tell you that your update has been approved, instead of you telling them, no? But that's another story) notifying that the update has been approved, I go immediately to iTunesConnect to update the description.

You can see where this is going. Right after I uploaded SimplyTweet 2.1 for review, Apple changed the rules. Now, developers can only change the application name when they submit an update, not anytime after. So I'm stuck with 2.0 in the application name and the version number is 2.1. I have submitted 2.2 and this time I have changed the name to reflect it.

Don't have SimplyTweet yet? It does push notifications for mentions and direct messages, has a set of themes to choose from, supports photo search, multiple accounts and lots of awesomeness. Go get SimplyTweet (iTunes link).
