As you may have seen in a recent post, I asked for volunteers to help me test my code fix for the issue where the iPhone app couldn’t find the XMLRPC endpoint for a blog. Around 15 l brave volunteers stepped forward and I’m glad to report that in those cases where that specific problem was the issue, the new code allowed the app to get to the endpoint successfully.
Many thanks to the volunteers for answering e-mails and changing settings etc. This fix will be going into the next release.
For those who enjoy detail – the new code avoids using an XML parse to find the information and instead goes after it directly with a couple of regular expressions. In the rare case where this does not find the endpoint, the application gives the user an opportunity to enter the XML-RPC endpoint directly via a new screen in the application.
When the fixed release will be available?
Soon – but I can’t say exactly when. We’re working on a really nice UI overhaul and want it to be “just right” before we release.
so in the meantime, how do I get the app to work?

I do have a problem that I cannot seem to get a reply on the forum nor find anyone else having. I’m hoping you all can help me here and tell me if it’s related in some what to this issue/blog post.
When I was working with earlier versions of WP for the iPhone. When I wrote a review for Verison 1.21 it was working like a real champ. Then, when I upgraded to later versions, all of my paragraph breaks appear as “n//” in the posts. Additionally, my images will not post. With WP v1.21 and earlier, everything posted without fail.
I posted on the forum about this matter two weeks ago.
