Found the trick thanks to geologue on iphone.wordpress.org. Looks like magic to me.
Thanks a lot. -
To whom ever figured this out, you’re a saint! Thank you so much. I can’t believe something as easy as this fixed both my auto update and iphone app features. Brilliant!

Jeremy – Thank you very much for posting this simple code fix. Not only did I need to add that one line of code to my .htaccess file, I had to create the file to begin with! Strangely enough, though, there is an .htaccess file in my logs directory, but, when I copied it to my root, my site started asking for credentials, so I created a new one from scratch.
I just posted a blog entry from the WordPress iPhone app about my ordeal. I credit you with showing me the light and leading me to WordPress bliss. The blog entry is at http://gaminnet.info/?p=215.
Thanks again!
