Thanks to @simonwesterlund I found a super elusive bug I've been trying to fix in #Lysten.
It seems as if `NSAttributedString` can't be used to parse HTML content fetched from random RSS feeds 😭
@justkwin thanks for being active on the dev forums, your responses have helped me so many times. 🙌

The latest update of #Lysten is crashing on my iPhone (iOS 17), and I can't figure out why. Anyone knows what #nehelper is?
The message I see in the console is:
```
Lysten is trying to access information for se.ambi.podcast but is not entitled to do so. Please add the com.apple.private.network.socket-delegate or the com.apple.private.necp.policies entitlement
```And there's no crash log on the device 😭

Going live in 15 minutes! Today we’ll finish up the Podcast widget we built yesterday and tidy up some target settings. See you soon!
-
#Lysten now runs on #watchOS! Luckily the player works out of the box, we just need to reinvent the UI. 😊
Good thing @fosiaDesign knows all about this topic 😄
Fingers crossed we make it to the #watchOS10 release. 🤞
-
We''re about a month away from #iOS17 & #watchOS10 going public! 🤩
I'm looking SO much forward to release our #Ambre update.
Been working on Ambre all summer, but really wanted to make #Lysten for #watchOS too. Let's see if I can make it in time 😅

@dotsonapage We decided to build our own podcast app, named it #Lysten

@leomehlig In #Lysten we do all navigation using URLs.
We have a function that receives an enum case which returns an URL. This URL is then broadcasted with an NSNotification. This means that a new view can be pushed by any view (for example our mini player)
On the receiver side we have a navigation manager that has a binding to each Tab bar navigation stack. It checks which tab bar is chosen and then pushes the according view onto the current navigation stack.
-
We just sent out a #TestFlight update to #Lysten. It bumps the deployment target to iOS 17 and adds the use of the new Subscription-view made by Apple, and the new ShareLink API’s.
This means that once “bump to transfer” is enabled, it should hopefully just work to transfer content or initiate a #SharePlay session.

@JagCesar @fosiaDesign Have Fun out there! I’m trying out #Lysten by the way. Very fast performance. Great work!
-
#Lysten just received a new #TestFlight update. You can now download any episode, not only episodes from followed #Podcasts. And you can choose to only see downloads in the Episodes view.
Now I need to download at least 11 hours of podcasts to cover our entire flight 😅

@stroughtonsmith We just released an update to our privacy focused #podcast app #Lysten. All data is synced using #NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, so no backend. 😍
In the latest release we added #SharePlay, making it possible to listen to pods with friends and family.
Here’s an #AppClip link to the latest episode of #UnderTheRadar by @_Davidsmith & @marcoarment . (Yes, the app is so small the entire thing fits inside an App Clip 😂)
-
A brand new update for #Lysten just hit the #AppStore!
It has a ton of changes, but most importantly you can now listen to any #podcast with friends and family using #SharePlay!
Download Lysten today! 👉 https://apple.co/45pb5R7

@stroughtonsmith Isn’t this what NSPersistentCloudKitContainer handles for us? One can set it to automatically fix conflicts by taking whatever was saved the latest. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it can’t possibly know how to solve conflicts in custom entities. It’s a bit difficult to set it up, but once you got it figured out it just works. We use the same setup for #Ambre, #Aqwitty and #Lysten and it just works 😄
-
@donnywals Damn, you should get some gloves for that!
I’m looking into adding #SiriKit #Intents to #Lysten. Makes it possible to ask #Siri things like “Play a podcast episode in Lysten”. Last week I added #SharePlay support, pretty cool to lysten to podcasts with friends and family.
-
@carlosefonseca If you're open to testing new stuff, give our app #Lysten a try.
It's a podcast app focused on #privacy and #accessibility, written by @fosiaDesign and I. No tracking, no analytics and no servers. We can't see what you listen to.
Latest beta adds support for #SharePlay and we support #AppClip, which means you can share a native player by sharing a link from Lysten.
Check out the latest episode from @gruber here for example:

We're rolling out a new beta update to #Lysten, join us in making #Podcast s more accessible!
What’s new:
- #SharePlay, You can now listen to podcasts with your friends and family
- Added SharePlay button to episode detail view, making it possible to share a listening session without having an existing call
- Player no longer covers Tab bar or navigation bar
- Minor improvements to player logicFeel free to join our TestFlight here 👉 https://testflight.apple.com/join/7VS128LY

@glebd We talked about this a LOT when designing #Lysten. We ended up deciding to only show episode artwork in the player.
Loading a unique image (and resizing) for every episode consumes a lot more resources than using the already resized and cached podcast artwork.
If you haven't tested Lysten you can give it a shot here. Our app is so lightweight the entire thing fits in an App Clip 📦
-
@charliemchapman @marcoarment hah yeah I know, it's so stupid. #Lysten got rejected for the same reason 😄
-
@MuseumShuffle @StewartLynch Were you on podcast!? How could I miss that? Adding to my #Lysten feed right away. 🎧
-
@afit Looking forward to seeing more of you here, enjoyed our chat at Apple visitor center last year. Maybe I’ll see you there this year again?
We (@fosiaDesign and I) have built #Kookin, a recipe manager for the Apple enthusiast. Syncs using #iCloud, written in #SwiftUI and available on all Apple platforms.
Our latest creation is #Lysten. A simple and privacy focused #Podcast Player. Also SwiftUI and backed by iCloud.
-
@joshourisman We (me and @fosiaDesign ) have built #Lysten. Written 100% in #SwiftUI and uses #iCloud to save and sync your shows and progress, so no registration.
As long as you keep your Apple ID your data won’t disappear.
We also don’t have any kind of tracking.
And we support App Clip to easily share a episodes and podcasts. Here’s the latest episode of Radiolab https://lysten.ambi.se/share?podcast=http%253A%252F%252Ffeeds.feedburner.com%252Fradiolab&episode=7a27dc25-f392-474f-a57d-3b9651c11a24

#Lysten v1.2.0 has finally been submitted to Apple for review. I spent today upping my screenshot game. It’s not perfect, but according to the stuff I’ve read about ASO these should convert better.
Lets see 🤓

Making new screenshots for #Lysten and decided that I'm gonna step up my game.
Did a bit of googling and found that Xcode now has built in support to update the time in your simulator! The command is
- xcrun simctl status_bar booted override --time “09:41”
to set the time to 9:41 on all booted simulators. Awesome! 🤯
Unfortunately it’s broken and seems to have been for some time ☹️ Luckily there’s an open source repo that gets the job done

Xcode Instruments saves the day! 🔨
While doing some performance improvements on #Lysten I noticed that there was a mysterious peak in memory usage. This peak made the app crash due to consuming too much memory 💥😭
Decided to try Xcode Instruments with the Allocations template, which could tell me that the perpetrator was Core Spotlight!
@angelicaaa You inspired me to use Instruments, kudos!
-
We(mostly @fosiaDesign) finally added an Episode detail view to #Lysten, so you can now read the show notes!
We figured out how to parse the HTML show notes and render them natively, making the show notes very accessible! See attached screenshots, showing raw HTML and parsed HTML.
v1.2.0 is currently waiting for #TestFlight review, once it's approved it'll be available here https://testflight.apple.com/join/7VS128LY

@n0rthk1n9 @MuseumShuffle It seems to have been on the iPhone too! I only remembered the iPad design 🤩
Check out this video for more details. So polished and skeuomorphic 🤤
Maybe I should implement a version of this in #Lysten? 🤔👨🏽💻
-
We finally released App Clip support to #Lysten! This means that you can share a #podcast show or episode with anyone! We believe this is a big step in making podcasts more #accessible.
Check out the latest episode of Slices: Deep Dish podcast where @malin & @kaidombrowski interview @parrots, the creator of Slopes.

Spent this afternoon setting up a pegboard in my home office. Got a ton of stuff off my desk and finally set up a studio mic with external soundcard. 😍 I’m SO ready to do a live stream later this week! 🎬🍿 And check it out, the headphones are charging! ⚡️
I’m considering working on #Lysten on a live session and give you a sneak peak behind the scenes. 🫣
