Folder Icon Creator Version History
Folder Icon Creator Main Page
Hey guys! It has been a long run for the Folder Icon Creator app. I've been working on developing apps for Apple long before the iPhone even existed. Over the years, Apple has become more mainstream, and as a result of their success, they have had to improve the security of their OS. This is great for the consumer, but for developers, it has meant constantly jumping through hoops to get apps approved. Apple continually blocks features (especially features with file access) for the sake of security. With the last few updates to the OS, the result has been that apps have needed to be rewritten from scratch - for a 3rd time. As you can imagine, having to rewrite everything from scratch (whenever Apple fancies) isn't fun for the developer! I sure wish I could keep adding your feature requests and updates, but at this point, the demands placed by Apple will require more time than I have to spend. I've really enjoyed working with many of you who suggested excellent features which made GOTOES apps better for everyone. I appreciate this wonderful, friendly customer base, and it pains me to have to stop supporting any product. Some of my customers have been using my apps on a daily basis for over a decade now! You guys are the best; I've especially enjoyed working with those of you who I've come to know personally. All the GOTOES Mac apps should work on OSX up to Big Sur. Starting with Monterrey, I no longer plan to continue developing any of the Mac based apps. If you absolutely rely on a GOTOES app, please don't upgrade your OS past Big Sur. If you have an older OSX, feel free to continue using these apps, and don't hesitate to write me if you need a copy of an older version of one of my apps to run on an older Mac. Thanks again for being a part of GOTOES, and I really apologize for this end of life for my apps.
