I installed an update for the iOS app this evening that asked for feedback on meta, so here’s my feedback: It doesn’t work anymore. Lol
I’m running iOS 12.1 on an iPhone 6s. Below is a video of what happens when I try to start the app. It looks promising for a second, but then it goes to a white screen. The only way out is to force-quit the app. After that, starting it up again does exactly the same thing.
So an easy fix is probably to uninstall the app and reinstall it. I will look to fix this but it will take few days to get it updated. I made a phase release, so atm only 1% of users have access to it.
There’s a setting to open it in the app. However iOS changed things in recent version and doing so will force you to authenticate to each site two times. Opening through safari won’t have this issue.
Also what does bother you about it opening in Safari ? It’s exactly the same number of taps to hit back on top corner than closing a modal inside the app.
Thanks, an initial search of Settings app didn’t bring up Discourse, but I had a manual scroll down and found it.
You can repair an installation by removing Meta, but you have to be quick with edit-delete-ok before the alert disappears and the screen can no longer be tapped (but at least it’s not white).
Quite obvious to say at this point, but really disappointed QA on this release.
Ok I could reproduce something with a non staff account. It seems this is a server side error and not an error in the app. Even if the app should arguably handle this better. Investigating more…
