You are very welcome. Thanks for replying back.
With regards to security. By setting up a method to access your application via the network means you have opened a potential security hole on the device. A port is opened and listening which means different types of attacks can take place given this port being opened. HTTPS doesn't secure a potential buffer overflow attack on your open port. In addition your back-end server can be attacked as well with people gaining access to data you have collected. Mobile devices are not well known for setting up firewalls and these are reactive defenses at best.
Switchboard is a great idea and again it is great that you have opened sourced the code.
With regards to manipulating the code. I guess I assumed incorrectly, I thought you used Switch board to have the ability to change code paths within your applications? I.E. use new source that has changed, or old source which has been tested and is working.
Internet access has drastically changed the retention of my applications. Currently 700K downloads with a 50% retention. I would say I could bump this retention up if my apps didn't have internet access when they really do not need it. (Currently ad supported apps).
I completely understand the two people dilemma. I am bootstrapping with only myself doing everything. I still need to do a huge make over on my pathetic web site, and I haven't started on any of my real scalable/growth ideas yet.
And again, thanks for sharing this... Cheers...
