The developers are hopeful that someday the app will be able to return to the App Store, but until they’ve found a way to work around all of the issues sandboxing creates, the app will only be available on the company website. Since Coda 2.5 won’t be able to use iCloud to sync with other devices, the company has built its own syncing solution. This is because iCloud compatiblity is only available to apps sold through Apple’s official channels.

The update is also introducing a new syncing mechanism called Panic Sync that will replace iCloud in all of Panic’s apps. The app will automatically detect the previously-purchased App Store version and activate itself. When version 2.5 is released through the Panic website, those customers just need to download it and run it. Customers who currently have the App Store version installed just need to leave it in place. Panic has created an easy transition path to get from the App Store version (2.0.14) to the upcoming 2.5 build. There’s nothing for App Store users to worry about, though. The reason? App Store apps need to be sandboxed (a security feature in OS X that doesn’t let apps modify data outside of their designated “sandboxes”), and Coda 2.5 simply doesn’t work as a sandboxed app.Īccording to Panic, Apple worked with the developers as much as possible to provide temporary exemptions and workarounds that could help alleviate some of the issues encoutered, but ultimately the decision was made to only release the update through the Panic website.

Mac and iOS development team Panic announced today in a company blog post that the next major version of its Coda web development tool would not be coming to the Mac App Store.
