Waterlogue and bad news..

[matrix07]

Waterlogue is a high quality water-color filter app for photo. You could remember it from a demo at WWDC when Craig used the app to showcase an extensibility by transforming a photo of flower into water-color picture. THAT's so cool.

The bad news? Waterlogue is not compatible with iOS 8 yet.

Why? I emailed a developer and here is a reply

Hi -

That was a demo. Since WWDC Apple has imposed some restrictions on extensions that are making it very hard to make a production quality Waterlogue photo-editing extension. We are working on it.

I'm not sure what's going on here? Why Apple didn't help the developer get his app up to what was being demoed on stage? Is this the first time? Now how can we trust the demo at the WWDC if something like this can happen?

Oh wow!

This just gets worse and worse for everyone.

This is not true. Waterlogue the app works perfectly well on iOS 8. What is not ready yet is the photo-eding extension, which would allow Waterlogue to be opened from within the Photos app.

To repeat: Waterlogue, as a regular app, works normally on iOS 8.

Yes, sorry, Waterlogue still works as it did before but it can't do what Apple show us at WWDC. This is akin to Apple making false advertising somewhat. If it want to show Photos app has the ability of Waterlogue, Apple should make sure Waterlogue would be able to do just that when iOS 8 was released.

Apple shows off a lot of things that are in development or even concepts when it's showing off new stuff to show what might now be possible. Nothing new or surprising there.
