Definitely not.... otherwise there wouldn't be ANY apps on the app store...they ALL have bugs. Apple doesn't care about that minutia. More likely it was just automatically dropped off the roll after so long without an update, or Kris didn't pay his annual developer fee, or his mac was reported as busted...

I've periodically been sending emails to the "best-bet" address but haven't received a reply. I'm not sure how common Kris' name is so it could be the wrong email... Or covid (or something) could have got him awhile back??? ![]() |

I think he's alive and kicking. Maybe he has just moved on with life and academic career on that island south of Italy and does not have the time and or will to be bothered by Marvin. I think I respect that. Last edited by mariosipad; 09-12-2024 at 01:19 PM. |

And, just maybe, he would be willing to release Marvin's code to another developer so it can be maintained. There are more than a few with the skills, and willingness, to update it if he allowed it. btw, the email I've been addressing is the one to his academic career. ![]() |

Just assumption. When googling the developers name and place I find a publication with his name from 2024, well after Covid. I've seen that behaviour from more developers. They just seem to abandon their pet projects because ...... life (children) or career? I must respect that. Coincidentally one of these developers also had an academic career. Maybe they have to stop these side projects? |

It's no longer possible to install marvin on new phones. I just tried to restore from backup and Marvin won't install because it is no longer in the App Store. It shows a cloud under it and when I click it, it will ask me to either delete the app or keep it.

iMazing will allow you to take apps from one device to another. So you can take Marvin from your iPhone or iPad to another iPhone or iPad. |

What JSWolf said is correct. To reinstall Marvin from an ipa file you need to follow the directions listed a few posts further up. iMazing is the app mentioned to perform the reinstall, but there may be other programs out there that’ll do the same??? I’ve had great success reinstalling Marvin on multiple new iPhones (including 16 pro) using the procedure posted above.

Oh wow, thank you both @jswolf and @turtle91! I was able to restore again by downloading the IPA file on my old phone. I was trying to restore before the .imazingapp file. Very happy to still be able to use the Marvin app
