 Update to iPhone app coming soon
Topic Originator: Milos Drizzle  
Date:   Mon 4 Jan 20:04

Hello folks, I`ve given the iPhone app a bit of long overdue TLC, with the following changes:

> It now takes up the full-screen on newer phones
> "New Post" and "New Post With Quote" always now start with a fresh post.
> If you start to type a post then exit it without submitting, you can access the content using a newly available "Edit Draft Post" menu option (which only appears if you have some text that you haven`t submitted yet).
> Fix to the glitches with changing font size - it is now immediately reflected on-screen when changed (previously you had to come out/in to see the changes).

I`ll be uploading this new version under my own Apple Developer account, under the initial name of "DAFC.net Forum 2" to make it distinct from the existing version. In due course, Brian will bring down the current version from the App Store, and I will rename mine (if I can).

I`ll post here once the boffins at Apple deem my version worthy of a place on the App Store. Hopefully later this week if the sun and the moon align.

This is now available - see my post on the football forum.

Milos, I have had the new app for a few days now. I have noticed a few times in the last couple of days the app crashing when the app is opened and a topic is selected. It crashes the same way as the old app did when there was no internet connection. This new app is crashing even when there is a connection though. Opening the app again solves the issue. This may be the same problem Raymie was talking about on the football forum thread the other day?

Allparone, is there a regular pattern at all? Is it always at the point you press a thread title, and it craps out just after the tap?

I'll see if I can make sense of the crash reports, assuming I am getting them!

Also, which iPhone do you have, with which version of iOS? My best hope is that I can reproduce it on the simulator.

iPhone 12 14.2.1

It happens when I first open the app and tap on a thread title. It doesn’t happen every time in fact it happens very little. I’ll try and log when it happens as I think it may happen when I haven’t opened the app for a few hours and then open it again.

Thanks allparone, any further info is appreciated. These intermittent issues are always a pain to solve.

It just happened there. I clicked on the Admin Issues tab and the app closed down so it’s not just when I open the app and not just when I click on a thread title on the football forum.

It’s a minor inconvenience on a brilliant app tbh and is solved in seconds. It’s definitely not a complaint from me. I posted as I know you like to know about these things (or maybe not lol).

Haha, it's all very appreciated, allparone! It will be an issue that will undoubtedly be affecting other folks too.

More info. Every time I click on the Paul Town Artwork thread title it’s crashing.

Yeah, the Paul Town Artwork issue is caused by some mangled BBCode that tripped up the iPhone app - I`ve just added a trap for that in the iPhone version (available when I put the next version out). In the meantime - I`ve unmangled the bbcode in the post, so the image is now showing.

On the sporadic crash, on the upside I have managed to get the app to crash on the simulator, but the bad news the code that is crashing is not mine (it is deep in the framework I am using). I am Googling about it now, and hopefully there is some kind of workaround.

I`m going to take a punt and upload v1.8.5 to the app store. This has the trapping of the dodgy-bbcode issue that befell the Paul Town Artwork thread (before I fixed it), but more importantly has another tweak that may fix the sporadic crash.

V1.8.5 now available on the app store. Allparone, would be good to hear whether this still crashes (though I'm not too hopeful, TBH!).

Haha, I'd be happy with 133 bugs :)

Allparone, any update on your crashes with the latest update from the app store?

I’ll keep an eye on it Milos. I don’t think it’s crashed since yesterday but I’ll let you know if it does (hopefully not).
