Faulty iPhone app

The syncing between my iPhone and my Mac became bad enough that I tried having MD forget my iPhone to add it back again (15 tries and no sync happened). However, now it won't even give me an access key. It sees the phone, but an access key does not appear on my phone. I've tried rebooting both devices. My firewall is not on. The wireless network is working properly. The app gives no way to make it look for a connection request. Does anyone know how I can get them to talk to each other again?

    The access key is displayed only the first time the iPhone app is run for security reasons. If you tell moneydance to forget the device you will need to remove moneydance from the device and then reinstall it from the app store to see an access key.

    Can you please also make sure you are running the latest version of the net sync extension which is build 12.

    I'm having trouble with the iphone sync as well. I have to close and reopen it many times before it syncs (although it syncs the first time, every time, with my ipad...)

    I checked the Network Synchronizer under the Manage Extensions window and it
    says its v11. How do I get version 12 and why does it not show up as a download
    option?

    You asked which build extension I have. I have 11, but I, too, see no way to update this. How do I get the updated extension?

    XrayDoug and Tom,

    It seems that the most updated Network Synchronizer is actually version 11, so there's no current updates needed if that's what you currently have. We're working on an updated sync method using Dropbox which we believe will greatly increase the ease and stability of syncing. I'll post on this thread when that update is available.

    Please let me know if I can be of further assistance,

    I hope you build in some sort of encryption if you're syncing to dropbox......

    Hi Tom,
    Sorry to be slow in getting back to you. To answer your question, yes there will be encryption.
    Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    Hi all,

    On June 7 we submitted the iOS app to Apple to approval, so we'll definitely post on our blog, Twitter, and Facebook as soon as it's available. This update includes significant improvements to syncing, including Dropbox based syncing. We're not sure how long the approval queue is (Apple is a bit opaque about it) but we're hoping soon! We'll also post on this thread when the app is available.

    Some bad news: Apple did not approve our latest update to the iPhone/iPad/iPod Moneydance app. This was due to the Dropbox authorization page linking to an external signup form.

    The good news: we've re-submitted the app using a newer version of the Dropbox SDK that resolves the issue while also making the Dropbox authorization a bit easier. This submission also fixes a few small bugs that were discovered in the past week.

    We're all very sorry for the additional delay in getting the app update. I expect it will be another 5 working days which is Apple's current advertised time to review app updates.
