iOS TestFlight/CI #177

AidanTheBandit · 2022-08-05T04:50:49Z

The feature

I’ve been searching for a client for iOS and I found MissCat but it’s severely out of date and not translated. Is there any plans of porting Kaiteki to iOS?

Designs

Same as android probably

No response

Craftplacer · 2022-08-05T04:56:13Z

Kaiteki is on Flutter and it's insanely easy to port to iOS, since it literally only requires adding build workflows.

But since Apple is Apple, the problem is this:

I need macOS running to verify that Kaiteki successfully builds for iOS
I would need to pay for the Developer Program in order to publish to the App Store
- I'm not sure if uploading IPA files is enough (I use everything but Apple obviously)

As an alternative right now, I suggest using the web/PWA version of Kaiteki over at kaiteki.craftplacer.moe. Although I have noticed it's not starting anymore, so I have to get that fixed first.

Craftplacer · 2022-08-05T04:57:46Z

I don't mind someone doing the work required for building Kaiteki to macOS/iOS.

AidanTheBandit · 2022-08-05T05:01:49Z

Ok. Would building in a MacOS VM work? I have a VM running the newest version of MacOS that I could use to compile

Craftplacer · 2022-08-05T05:03:52Z

Anything that runs macOS should work. You can take a look at https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/ios for instructions on how to get iOS builds going for Kaiteki. If you're completely new to using Flutter, check out https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/macos as well.

AidanTheBandit · 2022-08-05T05:06:12Z

Ok. Thanks for the help. Tomorrow I'll try to get this working

Craftplacer · 2022-08-08T21:23:35Z

Any updates?

AidanTheBandit · 2022-08-09T00:40:23Z

I'm working on redoing the MacOS VM install since I accidentally bricked it

AidanTheBandit · 2022-09-07T22:47:50Z

@Craftplacer i got it to compile but since I don’t have a developer license I don’t think I’ll be able to test it. I used the site Codemagic to compile it

Craftplacer · 2022-09-08T13:00:00Z

Did you try things like https://altstore.io/ ?

AidanTheBandit · 2022-09-13T13:35:36Z

Yes but I can’t seem to get it to load onto my phone since the file needs to be an IPA. I’m looking into other ways of turning the file into an IPA

AidanTheBandit · 2022-10-28T15:05:27Z

@Craftplacer Good news! I think I can get this side loaded onto my phone with troll store. I am going to try later today

Craftplacer · 2022-10-28T15:11:06Z

Alright, let me know how it goes.

jaredallard · 2022-10-29T06:00:10Z

I’m happy to provide macOS CI through CircleCI and a developer program license once this is figured out :)

Craftplacer · 2022-10-29T09:01:53Z

GitHub Actions offer macOS runners, the questions is how to trigger an entire build through CLI and what files to deploy/upload.

AidanTheBandit · 2022-11-01T10:54:36Z

So after trying for a while TrollStore says that no app exists and AltStore pretty much says the same. I think I might actually just need to get a Mac mini or something

jaredallard · 2022-11-03T06:30:35Z

I'll give this a shot then, since I have mac hardware at the moment, will update soonish 👀

AidanTheBandit · 2022-11-14T03:48:01Z

Was there any updates? Trollstore doesn't want to work

wakest · 2022-12-19T17:44:34Z

anyone get this going on Mac or iOS yet? I am sure someone can lend a dev account to this project so it can be published on the App Store for free

Craftplacer · 2022-12-19T18:12:58Z

I haven't received any answer if anyone got a build running iOS yet.

If nothing's being done I might have to consider running a Hackintosh VM in order to test this on an old iPad or something

ThatOneCalculator · 2022-12-23T17:35:19Z

https://medium.com/team-rockstars-it/the-easiest-way-to-build-a-flutter-ios-app-using-github-actions-plus-a-key-takeaway-for-developers-48cf2ad7c72a

If you're serious about iOS builds I'll be happy to pay for half of a developer license.

AidanTheBandit · 2022-12-26T07:39:13Z

I just got a mac. Im going to try to compile now

AidanTheBandit · 2022-12-27T06:47:15Z

So I got this issue when trying to run pub get.

[src/kaiteki] flutter pub get

Going to the folder shows nothing

ThatOneCalculator · 2022-12-27T07:07:48Z

git submodule update --init

Craftplacer · 2022-12-27T10:19:57Z

Gonna use this as a chance to update documentation on how to get Kaiteki going 🥴

lelehier · 2022-12-27T15:29:23Z

Gonna use this as a chance to update documentation on how to get Kaiteki going 🥴

Could have saved me a lot of time yesterday 🗿.
Anyways good to see that the build instructions are now up-to-date.

Craftplacer · 2022-12-27T18:38:21Z

Anyway, there's now a more in-depth guide on how to get Kaiteki compiled: https://github.com/Kaiteki-Fedi/Kaiteki/blob/master/BUILDING.md

What's the status of this? What work needs to be done e.g. to get an IPA published? There's more users asking for iOS builds...

AidanTheBandit · 2023-05-30T04:29:59Z

Just submitted to testflight. Will respond with the link or if there is any issues

@AidanTheBandit So the push notification and permission issues are at least resolved? I will look into it more when I have free time.

AidanTheBandit · 2023-05-31T04:48:58Z

Yeah I was able to fix that

AidanTheBandit · 2023-05-31T04:50:40Z

I also needed to fix this issue to get it to compile properly. After fixing it though it compiles fine #385

I am out right now, maybe you can submit a PR for it that way what you submit to the app store is what I build locally as well. As for the error, if you need me to fix it I can when I get back.

AidanTheBandit · 2023-05-31T17:33:45Z

I added a ! after isRead and that seemed to fix it. It's now !isRead! I can submit the pull request if you want. It's a very small fix

@AidanTheBandit How are you doing on this? I can always get it up if you need.

mona-chen · 2023-08-01T20:16:28Z

Jumping on this iOS thingy, made some updates, and got it to run with the latest dart version, will make a PR, a pretty decent app i love it😍

ThatOneCalculator · 2023-08-01T22:16:52Z

Make a PR?

mona-chen · 2023-08-02T18:31:09Z

I actually made a pr when i pushed, but am not seeing it anywhere this repo again, let me confirmed what happened.

gaviscapes · 2023-08-29T14:24:48Z

Any progress on this at all?

lunyaUwU · 2023-09-05T18:17:41Z

I am interested in Mby maintaining kaiteki for ios i can compile and test it but cant setup testflight also i can share an ipa if needed

mona-chen · 2023-09-05T18:21:30Z

The issue currently is an iOS development account, wanted to pay for their subscription but i guess we could contribute, the cost is a bit high on my local currency now.

lunyaUwU · 2023-09-05T18:32:41Z

Ah that's something where i sadly cannot really help as i do not have money myself (cus im 15)

ThatOneCalculator · 2023-09-05T19:13:44Z

Given we've now gone through two people offering to maintain the iOS app and failing, I think there should be 2 basic criteria:

Over 18
Has an existing Apple Developer account

ThatOneCalculator · 2023-09-05T19:18:37Z

Obviously, that's @Craftplacer 's decision to make, but I think that would be a generally beneficial ruleset to make sure maintainability is achievable.

Craftplacer · 2023-09-05T21:45:25Z

Obviously, that's @Craftplacer 's decision to make, but I think that would be a generally beneficial ruleset to make sure maintainability is achievable.

Supporting iOS can be split into two roles: deployment/publishing (-> Apple developer account) and maintainership (coding, eventually check-up if the app runs great on iOS, etc.)

Obviously for this issue, we're looking for someone who can get the build process for building Kaiteki to iOS going and perhaps someone who is willing to support us by publishing the app on TestFlight

lunyaUwU · 2023-09-06T06:32:59Z

Well i can get the build process going and can probably even automate that. Also i would like to get involved in the development

SputNikPlop · 2023-09-16T14:25:34Z

@Craftplacer I failed apple review apparently I have to give them an account, any suggestions on the best instance url where I could make one for them.

Craftplacer · 2023-09-16T15:03:06Z

I'd hold off on submitting the app to Apple at all before we can even get a build workflow going. And on top of that we need a quality assurance pass to check whether it is works correctly on iOS.

Craftplacer · 2023-09-16T15:08:39Z

I can ensure, even if we had provided a test account, Apple will come back complaining about another issue, that probably could've fixed before submitting the app.

One possible scenario is that Kaiteki does not even provide options for reporting or blocking content which is a required feature for social apps.

Hmm I was just trying to get a public testflight going, noted.

Ok I will look into that for iOS/macOS. Have you had a chance to look into Google Play because those workflows can be automated as well when I do the iOS ones.

Craftplacer · 2023-09-16T20:22:27Z

Have you had a chance to look into Google Play

Google Play is abandoned because of the upcoming public developer contact info changes.

SputNikPlop · 2023-09-17T05:20:11Z

Wow Google went the Apple route basically

Craftplacer · 2023-09-17T13:06:14Z

Have you had a chance to look into Google Play

In this case, priority would be set on F-Droid in the near future.

Since progress has seemed to stall on this, how about using something like Codemagic? They have 500 free CI/CD minutes per month for individuals. https://codemagic.io/pricing/
