My parse powered application for iOS worked great until 2 weeks ago when the users could not connect to my parse databases. I examined the problem and I observed that if I use my IP, I could not access parse APIs but using a USA/UK VPN does the trick without any problem.
I tried my 3G connection, different public WiFIs from the city, nothing worked.
people around the globe can access too, the problem is with IPs from Romania.
Does anyone know about this or a possible fix?
The application is live in appstore so the code and everything is the same as at the time when was fully functional.
UPDATE: I also updated the parse sdk to the latest version, build and tested the app but same problem.
Seems it was a parse temporary error, it's fixed now.

Chrome is on the verge of definitly break compatability with NPAPI, and IE breaking with ActiveX the future of Java Applets is dark. Currenty we actively use a secure applet for out client organizations that enables their users to upload a bunch of files from their file system to our servers with the click of a button. The applet has full access to any configured drive, including network drives.
With the imminent death of the applet this functionality is going to be lost if we don't find an alternative. I have already tried to explore different solutions, including the chrome FileSystem API but that is currently only available for Chrome (http://caniuse.com/#feat=filesystem) and has limited access.
Does anybody know about an alternative to keep supporting the much appreciated functionality? Unfortunately we are obligated to support all browser down to IE8.
I've written a post about this here.
Once Google Chrome was the first to announce that they won’t be supporting NPAPI anymore, they were also the first to provide a new architecture in order to rewrite your code to work on their browser. You can take a look on Native Messaging, which “can exchange messages with native applications using an API that is similar to the other message passing APIs”. The problem is that this approach only works on Chrome, is not something that you can adapt to other browsers.
A more useful approach is FireBreath, a browser plugin in a post NPAPI world. Check the words below from one buddy of the project:
“FireBreath 2 will allow you to write a plugin that works in NPAPI, ActiveX, or through Native Messaging; it’s getting close to ready to go into beta. It doesn’t have any kind of real drawing support, but would work for what you describe. The install process is a bit of a pain, but it works. The FireWyrm protocol that the native messaging component uses could be used with any connection that allows passing text data; it should be possible to make it work with js-ctypes on firefox or plausibly WEB-RTC or even CORS AJAX in some way. For now the only thing we needed to solve was Chrome, but we did it in a way that should be pretty portable to other technologies.”
In light of the answer provided by Uly Marins I have researched the options suggested. Unfortunately these options weren't viable for our application, because the mayority of our users do not have sufficient rights to install third party plugins. Additionally the API is still in Beta which won't do any good in a stable production environment.
The main problem we wanted to solve was the abbility to delete files from the accessed folders. It seemed like one of the mayor goals of the removal of the NPAPI support was exactly to prevent this kind of possibility. Therefore we needed to reduce our goals to a simple solution that was still acceptable for our users, with the additional training on how to clear the selected folder manually (because most of our users are almost computer illiterate and needed to access network folders).
Long answer short. The requested solution is just not possible anymore and had to be replaced by a simpler solution and additional training.
I need support in SignalR for Android client. I am using following client SignalR/Java-Client but unable to know where to start :) We are completed .net self host & working fine. But only problem with Android & iPhone. Can any one please guide me how to start the next steps for Android & iPhone.
You don't give a lot of details, so it's hard to give a concrete answer, especially since your question is very broad to begin with. Nonetheless, you should have a look at the official samples for the Java client, to get you started. If you have implemented the server side yourselves, and know your Java, it should be pretty easy to figure out from the code provided in these samples. The Java client is, in my experience, very easy to use.
As for an iOS client, a Google search came up with this library. I have never used it, and it looks like it's not getting a whole lot of support, but you could always give it a shot.
I am trying to connect my tessel to firebase, and I have tried everything. Is anyone else having a similar problem? I have read that the tessel uses different web sockets than firebase, but I am really new and don't know much about that. Could anyone help me out?
Glad to hear that people are interested in using Firebase with the Tessel. I'm one of the Firebase engineers who has been working with the Tessel folks to make this happen. There are two Tessel Forum posts that give some more detail on the problem:
Firebase cannot be compiled by Colony
Websockets on Tessel
The Firebase node packages uses faye-websockets, which the Tessel compiler couldn't support. We got nodejs-websockets to compile, and built a version of the Firebase library to test the concept. I was able to read and write from Firebase using the Tessel, but we were very hesitant to release a separate version of Firebase to NPM just for use on the Tessel, especially since nodejs-websockets is not as well maintained as faye-websockets. I then spent an evening working with the Tessel folks to get faye-websockets working, and it now compiles, with the changes sitting out on a branch (tessel/runtime/JH-HTTPParser). I don't have a timeframe on these getting merged into Master and being shipped out to production, but I know there are a good number of SSL and websocket based API's who are waiting on these changes to hit the main branch.
TL;DR: Firebase compiles on the Tessel (you can build the code off the above branch), and it can either read or write (not both at the same time). When I get some more time, I will be debugging Tessel + Firebase to get this working correctly.
With the acquisition I haven't had much time to try. Last time I checked, things were compiling and running for some operations (I haven't tested everything) if we used a non-minified version of the Firebase library (not currently provided to end users). The issue here is that the minification puts all the variables in the same line, and the Tessel Lua VM would complain that there were more than 200 variables and wouldn't like it. I can play around with it some over the next week and see where things are, otherwise I can ping Jon and the Tessel folks to see how we can best move this issue along.
I am using SynergyKit for realtime communication. You can download Node.js library, which is fully supported by tessel platform and using websocket library, which is one of few libraries written in pure javascript.
You will be able to live observing all data in collections and sending messages. There is documentation for Node.js.
I've had very mixed experiences trying to host on Meteor.com.
I often get "This site is down. Try again later.". Initially I couldn't figure out why, but then I suspected that the problems were caused by me accidentally restoring the "system.users" collection. I tried restoring without that, but the site went down a few days later. Today, it's magically back up again without me doing anything.
"meteor logs" shows nothing. It's a complete black box.
I've investigated other options (Heroku, demeteorizer, meteor bundle, etc), but they are clunky and unreliable too (problems installing fibers, doesn't seem to handle Meteor.call() properly, etc).
I would really like to host in production on Meteor.com, but I feel I can't trust it right now. Free is nice, but I need reliable, production-quality Meteor hosting. When will I be able to buy that from Meteor.com?
Thanks,
Graeme
From the documentation:
We provide this as a free service so you can try Meteor. It is also helpful for quickly putting up internal betas, demos, and so on.
So it means it's intended to try things out, not for production. They offer it for free, I think it would be bad manner to abuse it. And with so many people around trying the thing, don't be surprised if it's overloaded from time to time.
I'm not sure if and when the Meteor team will make this hosting production ready. At this moment, I'm happy they're focusing on making the framework mature.
For other options, Heroku works as a charm. I'm using it for several projects, including production ones, and had no problem. Don't bother with demeteorizer and such. Just create a new app and run these commands (replacing appname with your app name):
heroku git:remote -a appname
heroku config:add ROOT_URL=appname.herokuapp.com
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/oortcloud/heroku-buildpack-meteorite.git
git push -f heroku master
MDG (the Meteor Development Group, the core team) is working on a hosting solution called Galaxy. It will likely tie in to meteor in ways other solutions won't (such as meteor deploy). This will be (AFAIK) a paid service, and as such will likely offer analytics for better insight (my guess). And of course scaling will be taken care of for us.

I'm developing an asp.net web site to work on mobile devices. Is going ok and works fine with android and iphone. I've no got around to testing it with blackberry in my balcberry curve. When i first tried everything looked good b ut then i noticed that some od the autopost back on dropdowns etc did not work. Some research time later i turn out out that by default that blackberries do not support this and that I need a Blackberr.browser file to allow that type of functionality to work. I following this link...
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/BlackberryASPNET.aspx
After doing this my blakberry will not load the site at all, i just get connection timeouts. So i tried removing the blackberry.browser file, read loading the assembley in an attempt to get back to where is was, but still the site will not connect. I've refreshed iis, recycled app pools and even rebooted. I have a QA site on another box that the blackberry will connect to, but my development machine it does not like anymore:-(.
Any one got any ideas in what is going on?
Thanks for any help.
Richard
I have also suffered with the pain of developing (actually optimizing) websites for BlackBerry and Symbian, and I understand your suffering.
As you're using BlackBerry Curve, I suppose you're using a MDS server simulator on your development machine to let the BlackBerry Emulator connect to Internet.
Although I am not sure if you're even using a simulator.
I also have come across some simulators which just won't connect to the Internet no matter how hard you try with MDS server and all.
I hope you're not stuck with any issue related to the above said things mate.
Are you trying to connect your localhost with your BB?
