We finally made it through updating all of our iOS games! Each one had its own quarks to deal with, nine years of hardware/software updates from Apple will do that. We have 54 Mac/iOS builds on the App Store, 49 have now been updated within the last year and the other 5 don’t need any changes. Hopefully these improvements future proof things, but we do intend on updating them a little quicker than nine years this time! Now back to our maple business and family for a while.

GL Golf Updated to 2.580 on iOS
Last fall we updated all of our Mac apps, but then maple season got busy before we could update our iOS ones. We were working on the updates again this fall when iOS 18 came out, unfortunately it ended up breaking a lot of things in GL Golf. Over the last month we’ve worked through all of the issues and added support for all of the new devices released over the past five years, and this morning all of the GL Golf apps were updated to version 2.580. Now we’ll see how many other iOS apps we can update before Christmas!

GL Golf Updated to 2.580 on the Mac
GL Golf has been updated to version 2.580 on the Mac App Store. We know it’s been four years and we’re sorry it took this long, we’ve been busy with two young boys and our growing maple syrup farm. Mac OS 10.14 Sonoma broke texture loading so we had to put something out, plus we’ve been wanting to release a native version for the new Apple Silicon Macs . We’re considering a small iOS update for GL Golf, and possibly getting some of our other games fixed/reinstated on both the Mac and iOS app stores if time permits. It’s hard to believe that GL Golf has been available for nearly 20 years now, keep on swinging!
