Is it really safe to send such information? Please Help!

Hi everyone,
So, I'm "working" with an iPhone developer, who has already some apps selling on the App Store! I asked him, if he could get me a better icon of his Application for me. Then he answered me kindly, that he would be able to send me a personal preview release of the next release of the correspondent app.
However, he asked me for an info: he wants me to send the iPhone ID (which is found, by clicking on the label 'serial number').
So, is it really safe to send such information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Francisco

"Safe" is a relative term. However, short of waiting for the app to be released on the iTunes App Store, that's the only way to get a version of it. The three possible ways for distributing apps are 1) the App Store, 2) direct distribution within an Enterprise organization for internally-developed apps, and 3) limited sharing by a developer with a release tied to a device serial number.
However, note that #3 may not always be possible, as reported for one developer in this linked article.
To be honest, there's not too much a developer could do with your serial number, other than release the app to you, or perhaps report your iPhone as stolen (pretty unlikely, I think).

    In most cases, you can't use a Debit card anymore. So, either redeem an iTunes gift card or use a credit card.

  • ADF development - need additonal information - please help.

    JDev Team,
    I am new to ADF development and it is just amazing. I have programmed a little with Oracle Forms and I was impressed with its RAD capabilites and its ease of development. ADF seems to be doing the same. I am very impressed with its very forms like capability.
    I would like to get more information on developing applications using ADF. My understanding is that the business layer can be developed using ADF BC, JPA/EJB, Toplink, Web service. Also, data control creation from the model layer give us the ability to bind the model layer to the UI layer. Here are my questions
    a) Is my above assumption correct?
    b) If so, what other options do I have for business layer? Can I just use a simple java class which uses JDBC as my business layer. If yes, can this be exposed as a data control?
    c) What is the preferred method for developing business layer and what are some of the benefits/drawbacks of one over the other? For example, I looked at list of values (including cascading LOV's) which is really amazing. Can this be accomplished declaratively without using ADFBC? I would like to get as much information as possible on this so that a right choice can be made for the business layer.
    d) Can I use just JSP, Swing, JSF (Not the ADF versions) to talk to different business layers implemented by ADF. If yes, can we do this with or without the binding layer/data control?
    e) Can I use ADF version of UI (ADF Faces, ADF Swing) to connect with non ADF business layer such as a third party JPA/EJB implementation?
    I have read a lot of documentation but I was unable to get answers to the above questions. Please help.
    Thanks
    Bala.

    Hi,
    a) Is my above assumption correct?
    Yes
    b) If so, what other options do I have for business layer? Can I just use a simple java class which uses JDBC as my business layer. If yes, can this be exposed as a data control?
    Though you are right in 1) this too is an option
    c) What is the preferred method for developing business layer and what are some of the benefits/drawbacks of one over the other? For example, I looked at list of values (including cascading LOV's) which is really amazing. Can this be accomplished declaratively without using ADFBC?
    No. ADF BC is the most declarative development environment to define the business service. Though JPA and TopLink too are configured declaratively, they do not have model driven LOV
    If your background is Forms then the natural choice for you is ADF BC.
    d) Can I use just JSP, Swing, JSF (Not the ADF versions) to talk to different business layers implemented by ADF. If yes, can we do this with or without the binding layer/data control?
    Hi, yes you can. If you don't want to use the ADF binding layer and the ADF datacontrol then however you will have to hand-code the lookup, which in this case appears of the same complexity for EJB, TopLink and ADF BC
    e) Can I use ADF version of UI (ADF Faces, ADF Swing) to connect with non ADF business layer such as a third party JPA/EJB implementation?
    ADF Faces, yes. ADF Swing no.

  • SMTP issue, cant send emails.  Please help!

    Hi everyone-
    So like everyone else, i assume, i wanted the push email for my work. I set up a .me account, forwarded my work emails over, and then set up my work email (bluetie) as my smtp server as i wanted to have the emails sent from that account. For some reason, it just wont work- i can not send any emails! It just waits and waits and eventually says "one or more email recipients not valid" or just puts the email in my outbox (and never sends it).
    I have turned off wifi, as i heard this could be a problem. I have also changed the port number of the smtp to what bluetie recommended. But still no dice.
    Frustrating! Is there any kind soul that could help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks a lot for the response.
    Yes, i am able to send emails from the att smtp server, but i really wanted to send them from my work (bluetie) smtp so they would show my work email addy.
    customer service at bluetie said they dont block the smtp server as far as he knew.
    any other thoughts?

  • Gmail IMAP Not Receiving, Only Sending on BB - PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hello All!
    This is my very first post and I'm really hoping someone can help me. 
    I have been using gmail as my personal email and it's been syncing wonderfully via IMAP with my blackberry. My company just migrated over to a hosted gmail and I've added the email address to my BB and have configured the setting to IMAP enabled. I added the additional Lab to make sure the "show in imap" is checked off. However, I'm not receiving any emails. The ironic thing is that I'm able to send emails via my bb but when I reply from the outside address (reply via online), the reply message arrives in my actual inbox but not on my bb. 
    I have a Bold 9650, Verizon carrier, OS 6. 
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

    Hi mishael53 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    You indicated you are using OS 6 on your BlackBerry Bold 9650.  Are you referring to the handheld software or the BlackBerry Desktop Manager version?
    As well, can you send me your PIN via Private Message?  I can take a look into this further to see why you may be having problems receiving your work email.
    Thanks

  • Sending mail problem (please help)

    I have downloaded all necessary components javamail-1_2.zip and jaf1_0_1.zip. I included them in my classpath too (activation.jar and mail.jar). I used Exchange Server 2000 as smtp server. But when i try sending an email the message appears like this:
    sending error cannot relay for sending [email protected]
    When i tried the same code in my ISP (www.mycgiserver.com) it work very fine. Here is the code. Where is the problem? Please help me...
    <%
    // Take massege properties
    String mBody = request.getParameter("mBody");
    String from1 = request.getParameter("from");
    String to1 = request.getParameter("to");

    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("ipNo.........:25", "smtp.mail.blah.com");
    Session s = Session.getInstance(props,null);

    message.setText(mBody);
    message.setSubject(subject);
    Transport.send(message);
    %>

    the problem i feel is in your smtp relay and probably not in ur code . some smtp relay servers are configured such that they relay only on authentication or from a specific IP or from a specific subnet mask only to prevent spammers . check out the info on ur local relay server and also see other postings specific on relay ....that shud be of help i guess

  • I cannot make payments or send money. Please help!

    I dont know what to do... I cannot make purchases online or even send money over paypal. I have searched the forums and spent hours over the phone with paypal support and they always just say "sorry, we`ve done every thing we can do". When i try to make a purchase i get an error stating __________________________________________________________________________________________This payment cannot be completed and your account has not been charged. Please contact your merchant for more information.  Return to merchant and try a different payment method We are not able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please return to the merchant's website and try using a different payment method (if available).________________________________________________________________________________________ My paypal is verified and i have a balance with more money than i can afford to lose. I have tried everything that i can think of and that i`ve been told to do to resolve this. I`ve tried Waiting a week before trying to use my balance, had support review my account and put things on my account that supposdly overided the system, checked out as guest, cleared cookies/cache/ ect., used diffrent browsers, used diffent computers and i`ve tried using a proxy.  Please, please help! I just would like paypal to let me use my money that I earned!!! 

    The money was added quite a while ago and it was aquired through allthough legitimate, quite strange means. I sold a few ingame items on a online market place specializing in video game items or "skins" called www.opskins.com. Allthough i have had found the website not in the least bit questionable, having both bought and sold through it; i have been told by support that they`ve been having trouble with paypal  so your guess sounds pretty accurate. Anyway, thank you for all your help, you have been deligent and helpfull!
