iXboxLive 1.1 - In Review

iXboxLive 1.1 has been submitted to Apple for review!  Many under-the-hood changes, and a ton of visual changes:

  • Many crash bug fixes

    • Won't immediately crash to the springboard if you have no active internet connection (iPod Touch users). This often resulted in your buddy list being wiped. This has been fixed.

    • Occasionally downloading avatar images from Microsoft would result in a crash. This should be fixed.



  • Redesigned Buddy List and Details View

    • The Buddy list now resembles the style of displaying friends that Xbox.com uses! (Thanks Mike Jefferson and Erik Bye for your help here..)

    • The gamer details view has been redesigned by TOTUSHI. You can find him online here: http://www.totushi.com/. He is a visual artist that does excellent freelance work.



  • Message Xbox buddy's with www.xbox.com

  • Online buddies are automatically moved to the top of your buddy list

  • The application now does some under-the-hood caching of gamer tag avatars, which should result in better loading performance.


iXboxLive is also sporting a new Springboard Icon, designed by Erik Bye:



Time for some screenshots!
