The developers are well aware of the demand for an iOS version. It was actually hinted at from the first page Still have a lot of work on Android version. At this years we don't have any plans for that. I suspect that the thread really ended from the above post so any further requests for an iOS version may have been politely ignored until the OBDeleven team completes everything they want to accomplish in the Android version.

Understood. Missed it or forgot about it that post. Thanks nitrous1024.

To all the moderators thank you for your response. However, and do take this with a grain of salt, I personally am not looking from a response from you. You clearly stated you are not connected to OBDEleven in anyway besides being this forum's mod. If there is any complications with an IOS release, and just like how many other professional grade companies have done in the past, a public statement is given to inform that an IOS port is not possible for any given reason. Now, the companies complete and total lack of response on the topic , as well as ignoring an entire customer base, is unacceptable. This shows their business morale. And I for one will not go and buy an android because one small business deems that they can't develop an app for IOS. caristaapp has done it, even with the limitations, so there is no excuse as to why OBDeleven cannot do it unless there is some permission/access being requested by the app that is completely irrelevant to what it is intended for. I for one wont buy this app even is an IOS version came out. Ill just spend the $200 on Ross-Tech and not have to worry about whether or not this company actually cares.
I wish the development team luck with all their Android issues, it seems like its needed since the same reply given above was posted a year ago.

Andy5278, your point has been made. However, do not forget that even the Great Ross-Tech only supports Windows and has no (immediate) intention to support Mac OS or Linux (although there have been similar requests for this too).

Matthew,
I believe you missed the point entirely. The question whether Ross tech supports Mac OS or not is not the concern. Its the sheer silence of ODBEleven.
Now you must remember the whole purpose of ODBEleven was to be able to use it with your mobile device. Ross Tech developed a tool for use with a laptop computer, not for your mobile device. This is one of the key features that OBDEleven has. I'm not trying to start a debate or challenge you. Again please do take what I say with a grain of salt since none of my frustration is directed to you in any way. Unfortunately the forums is the only place for one to give their honest opinions and it allows everyone to see and recognize it, including the owners of this company.
Back to the main point. The silence of the development team is incredible. If you wanted to make a proper comparison you should have brought up caristaapp and not Ross Tech, as caristaapp is a mobile utility just like ODBEleven. With the limitations that it has it is able to do many features that are sought out for. Even if there was a restriction being placed, one small statement indicating that it is not possible in the current moment would suffice. We do not need a specific reason, just a proper acknowledgement would be more than enough.
Also, I really wouldn't compare ODBEleven's restriction with IOS to Ross-Tech's restriction with Mac OS. One company chose to ignore a topic, while the other made it well known. Take a guess who falls in where.

Now you must remember the whole purpose of OBDEleven was to be able to use it with your mobile device Your original point was noted, but you are missing the point where the OBDeleven team is only developing the app for only Android. They (to my knowledge) have NO intention of developing anything for iOS despite the numerous requests in this thread. The question was (politically and politely) answered by OBDeleven in that earlier quote I posted. The discussion "ended" at that point, so all other requests for iOS would naturally be ignored. You can't get upset about that as the original question was answered. The only unanswered question would be the "why no intention for supporting iOS in the future". Then again, "forum support" isn't included in the purchase like the genuine Ross-Tech VCDS tool. You and I can discuss this all day, but at the end of the day the OBDeleven team isn't obligated to give us a reason for this decision. I don't have any issues with OBDeleven since I have a genuine VCDS cable, and use both interchangeably. I've played around with caristaapp, but it doesn't give me flexibility I get with OBDeleven. In this forum, we are here to support one another. If I didn't reply to the comments in this thread, it would become dormant with +1 requests for iOS. Edit: On behalf of the OBDeleven team (whom I do not know): I'll just say there is no support for iOS at this time. If there is any new developments, the OBDeleven team will post an update

If there is any new developments, the OBDeleven team will post an update I had a really nice well put together response for you but at this point it's clear that it won't take me anywhere, as these posts fall to deaf ears (or blind eyes?). I've made my point above, I gave my 2 cents to the good people here, OBDEleven can run their company however they choose. It was a pleasure Matthew.

OBDEleven can run their company however they choose This is what exactly what they are doing. It is just that the requests for iOS will continue to fall on deaf ears since it was stated that there is no plans for it currently. You may feel that I don't see your point, but you need to also realize that OBDeleven is also free to do what they want (in the same manner you have other options like caristaapp).

Just to add to this thread, caristaapp does support a number of the new VAG Cars but based on what i have seen on the Seat Sites IOS does not offer the fully function that Android users have, this is in my opinion the issue for OBD11 Team, the can start trying to support both, which in turn means that changes have to be tested for both systems and inevitably one loses out but in reality both loose because it takes longer to code for two than one.
Cost of Android devices is so cheep I would just say buy one now just for this purpose or go with an IOS application if you can find one as good.
As Matthew has said previously VCDS are the lead in this field and they chose Windows so there are a lot of Mac Users who would like it but I am afraid both Android and Windows are the biggest players currently so that makes sense from a business and number of users who want it perspective.
I know this does not help the Apple users but reality is reality so afraid you have to accept its a wait or build a work around.
UPDATE, As somebody pointed out today on another thread you can buy an android device but you can still use your Apple phone setup as a hotspot to provide the internet connection thus you dont need to change phones just use it as a communication device.

Chaz I am afraid for now you need to either buy a cheap android device or get caristaapp (which is not as good but does support IOS).

Could it be a limitation from Apple regarding what the App can and can't do? Apple is quite protective and could limit what the App could do, therefore having it on iOS platform may not have the same function and feature as the Android version.
