CocoaFob released

21 March 2009, 00:21

I have released CocoaFob, a free set of Objective-C and Ruby code snippets for secure asymmetric registration key generation and verification based on DSA, and also for supporting custom URL schemes to enable automatic application registration by clicking on a link.

I’m using it for Decloner and the Store (an instance of Potion Store).

If you need to generate and verify registration for your Cocoa application, and especially if you are using Potion Store, give CocoaFob a try. I’d appreciate any bug reports, comments and suggestions.

Git clone URL: git://github.com/glebd/cocoafob.git

  1. Excellent work. Thank you for providing this – it is exactly what I was looking for. I will let you know how I go integrating this into our application and potionstore.

    Much appreciated!

  2. Still working on getting this integrated in my app. One thing I’d note at this point is that your ReadMe file seems incomplete.

    If you’d like a hand to document the setup process more completely, I’m happy to help.

    For example, one suggestion – an important step you might mention under Generating Automatic registration URLs is:

    - For this to work you need the base32 gem. In terminal type:

    gem install base32

    Anyway, thoroughly enjoying your implementation, which has saved me hours of work.

    Thanks again,

  3. Dude, i’m trying to replicate your validation code in PHP,
    My PHP Validator successfully validates licenses created with the PHP Generator, but cocoafob does not like them, i’m at a loss here how did you get it working in Ruby, do you know anything about PHP? i’d love to use your framework for my licensing… could you lend me a hand ? thank you!

  4. Thanks for putting this together. Very useful!

    Just thought I’d let you know that this link at the bottom of your readme on github no longer works:

    I think it’s moved here…

  6. I have been looking for a free licensing solution for Mac OS X apps that I plan on writing, and this seems to be the perfect solution!
    I had not heard of PotionStore OR CocoaFob before this post, but hearing about them both and then hearing about your wrapper, it feels like xmas again!
    Can’t wait to start using this, thanks!

  7. It’s really amazing how you can download all these files free of charge and easily share with your friends and family.
