However, although I've set up a separate device for my wife's phone and placed her MobileMe Family pack sub account as her credentials she does not show up on the map and there is not an entry for her, only for me. The settings dialog for each phone shows a pull-down for the individual phones, so it seems the devices are set up properly.

The info boxes for the both devices report the exact same information for battery strength and all other parameters.

Both phones have location data turned on, have the latest Find My iPhone app, and both phones are located with MobileMe service under their respective username/passwords. I'm running 4.3.3 on the phones.

I've deleted and redone the devices, re-entered the data, etc. Trying to see if there was something with my account, I made her account the FMID config username/password and now it only reports her phone's location. Any ideas?

Contact me directly at benjamin AT schollnick DOT net, and I'll send you a beta that may help resolve the issue.

Is this happening cause of an error in the "Find My iDevice" plugin or is it something with Apple's servers cause it looks like a log in issue? I haven't updated/changed/altered anything in the plugin or on Apple's Find My iPhone/iCloud and it started doing this. I did install Indigo 5.0.2 and rebooted the PowerMac G4 though.

Go into all of your Find My iDevice devices, change the Plugin Type to another plugin, and then change it back.

Some fields have changed, and this process should fix the problem.

>UPDATE: I think I just fixed the issue by going into the Find My iDevice plugin's configuration and clicking save.

Not yet, but I will be releasing it later this week. Once the release version is out, I will look at refactoring it to clean up some of the verbose messages....

But I will need to concentrate on the Switchboard project next... (I am playing around with calling the new "security plugin" switchboard. I think it describes it's features better... Either that or 'The MCP')

This pretty much confirms that there was a backend change on Find My iPhone mechanism...

v1.22 updates the code to work with the backend changes that Apple made.

This is pretty much exactly why we really don't like using reverse-engineered specs when building product. We have done so in the past, but it is a risk that a developer needs to recognize from the get-go.

Why do they change it? Because they're making other types of changes that probably have side-effects. Normal operation of the web side isn't effected and that's what they care about/test against. This type of thing happens with their Cocoa APIs as well - which is why apps get rejected from the various App Stores when they use internal (undocumented) APIs.
