VersionTracker Pro CommentaryWant to try - Version: 4.5.1, 8/14/2010 09:26PM PST

I wanted to try VersionTracker Pro but first had a few questions that I emailed support about but have never received a reply to my emails.

Anyone else have the same problem getting ahold of the versiontracker staff?

VersionTracker Pro CommentaryAllow incoming connections - Version: 4.5.1, 8/4/2010 07:27PM PST

klpete
With the firewall on, I get the "Allow incoming connections?" alert. This is due to an old way of accessing incoming information.
Apple says "Some applications check their own integrity when they are run without using code signing. If the Application Firewall recognizes such an application it will not sign it, but then it will re-present the dialog every time the application is run. This may be avoided by upgrading to a version of the application which is signed by its developer."
Please update the app to get rid of this annoying problem.
