It was never truly there. But I get what you're saying.

Blackberry had/has how many hundereds of engineers? They probably have a team of 15-20 people for just handling their own closed sync solution.
I admit, that was an unfair comparison. To me, it's really more about how it's an amazing feat that they tasked anybody on the OS X version.

Now take an accepted standard and test if it works. So if yes you use that as it is a lot less work. That is the whole point of standards...
That's going to be a problem. There's no real standard that "might" not include some submarine patents and/or differing implementations even within OS revisions and/or builds. Simply stated, there's no immediate fix. But that's going to be a problem in the near future once things go more mainstream.

I'm sure a solution will present itself.

And you misunderstood. I did not say OS X is obscure, just that we don't have much in house OS X knowledge and having to do this work, when it is not expected, is quite hard. Especially if at original testing and decision time things are working.
I'm quite sure the community (now or later) will be willing to assist on those endeavors on Windows, Linux (Debian, Ubuntu or otherwise), BSD, OS X and whatever is adopted by the users that have purchased a Jolla phone.

I did, this is why my tone was more angry than it should have been. My apologies for that.
Not a problem. We all get heated from time to time. Shows either compassion, conviction or both. Apology accepted.

So that at least something works until a real solution can be found for this one problematic OS.
I'm sure you guys will find a solution sooner than later. Kudos and continued success on your endeavors.
