Test Flight is here!

It’s appreciated testing various versions of iOS, and ensure all functionality matches the Progressive Web App.

Comment below with any issues that don’t exist in the Progressive Web App and aren’t listed below.

Known issues:

  • Post photo upload doesn’t work
  • Haptics needed in many places
  • Saving a photo crashes

Thanks!

    I can’t believe how quickly you work. You’re a legend. I can’t wait for the Android app.

    What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:

    • haptics are nice
    • status bar tap is very welcome
    • the back swipe issues seems to be a bit better, but not entirely solved
    • browser appear animation is really nice
    • the scroll hiccups seem to be also better, but also not entirely gone (short time of being inactive, but it then works without me waiting a second)
    • nav bar icons are still spikey (I’m probably the only one looking that closely at it, but I was hoping that might be fixed with the native version)

    This probably is a nich feature, but is it possible to get deeplinks (example voyager://inbox or voyager://vger.app/inbox/unread)?

      We can definitely do deep linking with a special URL, however I want to avoid links to vger.app opening the app. One of my pet peeves are apps open that when I’m just trying to browse their site.

    Awesome! But can you please have an .ipa available for download on GitHub, so we don’t need to depend on Apple for updates.

      Maybe in the future, builds are through App Flow which doesn’t have a way to make builds public, and I don’t want to manually upload an ipa every release.

    Does the native app proxy through your server like the PWA, or does it connect directly with the instance? Thanks for all your work on this!

    I notice when I click on a YouTube link in the PWA it opens up in the same window and takes me to the link, but when I click on the same link in the TestFlight app it opens in a separate window. Is that intended?

      Not intended, just the way native apps work. At some point I will need to add code to explicitly open certain things in their app.

        would be great to make it a settings page for which media type/app to choose how to open them.

    Great work! Would it be possible to have the app or even the PWA support 120fps gestures such as on the back swipe gesture on devices with ProMotion?

    Hey @aeharding

    I found a bug but neither a screenshot nor a video would show it. Let me explain:

    I opened a post in this community (title: Can’t save images by long pressing) that was short and had very few comments, making the entire content fit exactly inside the screen, almost exactly. On a regular/longer post, I can pull to refresh, but in this case it seems like scrolling is completely disabled. No matter how much I try to swipe up or down, the whole thing is static. it works in the PWA, though.

    I also think it’s lacking a bit of padding between the last comment and the tabs at the bottom, but that’s also happening in the PWA, so I guess it’s not app related.

    Great work overall! Hope this helps

      Thanks! This is interesting. I have seen that before I think but I thought it was resolved. Cheers

    Wohoo!

    That was quick! Testing using iOS 17.

    There seems to be a delay on the keyboard which is not present in the PWA however this might be because of the beta version I’m using.

    I also find the font sizes of the header quite large. Perhaps there could be an option to resize?

    Edit: the reply bug where when you reply to a comment, the comment thread shows in the reply area is still present.

    Where do we submit feedback? The TestFlight email link is not working for me. Basically my bug report: if you auto fill passwords, validation error reports pwd is empty , unless you manually auto fill both fields separately which beats the purpose of auto fill. Probably unnecessarily early front end validation.

      Here is fine, otherwise I think you can through Test Flight app.

      What password manager? It’s working for me in Bitwarden.
