#myapp — Public Fediverse posts

Maybe it’s time to push out an iOS 26 version of my silly little app. Not sure about how many are using it, but probably double digit percentages by now.

Normally nothing to care about, but this time I’m dropping support for older versions. Maintaining support for iOS 17/18 is just too messy so it’s easier to just go all in. I didn’t need to fix that much big stuff for Liquid Glass, but still a fair deal of small things all over the code base.

#ios26 #myapp #indie

Updated my app's icon for Liquid Glass. It looks the same, but with a slightly different background gradient and some weird effect on the foreground element. All in all pretty meh, but at least it's now following the program.

Updated the phone version to use NavigationSplitView like the iPad version (less duplicated code) instead of a plain NavigationStack. Seems to work better than it used to, but time will tell.

Seems I didn’t have to do that much to get my app to look ok with Liquid Glass. It doesn’t really use tab views which helped. The toolbars (navigation bars) look totally different, but I mainly had to delete lots of old UIAppearance code and some minor tweaks. No crashes or anything that looked otherwise weird. I had feared it would be a bigger job to fix.

Submitted a new version of 4.14 of my app to Apple for review. It was about time as the previous version was from April.

Now I think it’s soon time to see about iOS and iPadOS 26 and fix any regressions. I don’t think there’s anything new or improved stuff in the frameworks this year, it’ll probably all be about working around new bugs Apple has introduced with this dumb new theme redesign. I don’t think anyone actually wants that stuff.

I hate JavaScript so much I developed an app with it :blobcatgiggle: :javascript:

Wrapped it as :androidalt: application to run in a WebView, but it also runs on a normal browser :ablobcatwobpatted:

Being web application it is visible source, but also published as real open source :ablobcatbongokeyboard:

Give it a go - I find those old-school :dvd: screensavers soothing - and let me know your thoughts about it.

Bouncing Logo is pending inclusion into Samsung Galaxy Store, next will be adding it to @fdroidorg :blobcatcheer:

Oh, and it's on self-hosted @forgejo instance :forgejo:

@Jessica it surprises me that more channel based chat platforms don't use IRC behind the scenes, like each "new" platform or app doesn't just carve off new channel namespaces like `\#\#myapp.chan1`, `\#\#myapp.admin` and so on. I mean it was feature complete (for what it is) 25 yrs ago, the infrastructure is proven and extensible. And then just tack your proprietary extensions onto it like MIME encoding into emails and newsgroups - but still fall back to basic txt protocol in a pinch.

Submitted version 4.0 of my app to Apple for review. I could probably add and tweak more stuff, but at some point there needs to be a line. I should really update the screenshots too as the current ones are 2.5 years old, but I simply can't be bothered. Nobody looks at them too carefully anyway and the app looks basically the same nowadays. So with some luck the app could be out in a few days, assuming app review isn't swamped with Vision Pro reviews.

I think one of the main problems for my little crappy app is that nobody knows about it. But marketing is such soul destroying work. Grovelling and begging people for attention is just not my strong side. The other alternative is to buy ad space, buy reviews and buy favourable publicity, but my marketing budget is pretty much nothing. Which leaves word of mouth and that's really never working for any app.

Shit day today.

Been doing some more migrations for the backend for my app from Flask to FastAPI and everything is more or less feature complete now. The only part that's not yet migrated is the "Sign in with Apple" authentication handling which I will likely leave on Flask for now.

So more or less everything I wanted to get done for a "4.0" version of my app is done, much faster than I anticipated.

My app is on version 3.14 now. Seems I released 3.0 a bit over two years ago. The start of that series was pretty rough as 3.0 had to read all data from CloudKit and migrate it to a better server. So many small bugs in that migration and so much hassle, but I'm happy it's done. I removed the final migration code from a version last May or so. It was such a relief to be done with CloudKit. I will never ever touch that again unless I'm paid extremely well to do it.

#myapp #cloudkit #buggycrap

Been finishing up some loose ends here and there for my crappy app. Lots of small fixes to update the UI to be more modern by dropping some kludges that were necessary due to SwifUI being buggy and immature. Nowadays SwifUI can do pretty much everything I need, although it’s still quite buggy. Should probably release version 4.0 in a few weeks after I have finished some minor things.

Always interesting to define database models without really knowing fully what the feature will look like. I often tend to go too complex and then end up with horrible code to keep stuff up to date. Well, as long as there's no real data tables can be dropped and recreated.
