Well, I just deleted the beta, downloaded the 1.4.1 version of the app, added Meta, gave it the requested permissions, logged in, and left this comment.

There’s a new update in App Store. I updated it and while the “white screen” problem is gone, every time I tap on a forum, it swap me into Safari instead of opening inside the Discourse Hub app. I had to delete and redownload from App Store and only after that it works. Hope this helps!

It’s a new setting the 1.4.0 introduced where opening in safari was the default, in 1.4.1 opening inside app is the new default, but if you had downloaded 1.4.0 it’s not applied when updating to 1.4.1. To change this setting you can go in global ios settings -> Discourse -> and change the related options

Can you share a screen of where it’s happening please? It doesnt make much sense like this.

I’m encountering the same issue with my site.

I just updated Discourse to version 1.4.1 on iOS 12.0.1 and my Discourse install is v2.2.0.beta3 +39. My site was functional on the iOS app previously. Most unfortunate, I was getting the white screen on the previous version and was so looking forward to this update fixing it!

Am assuming to wait for next update? Thanks.

Also experiencing this from within the app

Many thanks @joffreyjaffeux, that did the trick.

you mean the leyboard is not showing? If so that’s an iOS bug not an app bug, this screen is SafariViewController I mostly don’t have the hand on it. Try to use open in safari setting this will probably work better.

I will investigate if theres a workaround around this though but don’t expect anything fast. FWIW I can’t reproduce.

Also does it happen all the time or seemingly randomly?

Have never seen svc misbehave in this way, my guess is a keyboard was connected to the phone at some point?

No, and it never occurred with the old app which I used several times daily. Safari and Chrome both work fine, occurs maybe one time in three with 1.4.1.

#58

But you probably updated to iOS 12.1 around the same time, too, right? If so, two variables have changed, and it could be either one.

#59

No I had iOS 12.1 for several weeks on one device and it was on here for days prior to the discourse update.

Back in chrome because the keyboard loaded but wouldn’t accept entry. Works fine everywhere else in the OS, still isolated to the new Discourse app.

Can’t tell much more than what I said

#61

I just sent you a beta build (1.4.1 179) can you tell me if it fixes your issue please ?

#62

Working fine here since updating, will use the mobile app exclusively for the time being to see if it recurs.

I’m back.

Basically, my issue is when trying to compose a reply the keyboard does not work. It’s visible but non-responsive, and the cursor is static (visible or invisible, depending on when it was invoked) rather than flashing.

This only seems to happen “sometimes” with the app. By that I mean it’s happening for me now but there was a period yesterday where it wasn’t happening (maybe?), and then of course it was happening immediately after I installed 1.4.1 that fixed the white screen issue.

Videos (in the periods where nothing seems to be happening I’m actually tapping the keyboard!)

Hopefully @team can learn from this most unfortunate series of events.

I have also sent you the beta build yesterday, please try it.

Also your issue seems a little bit different and I would definitely not rule out any iOS bug as there are already been multiple bug fixes in text selection since iOS 12 has been released. FWIW the bug a limited number of you have been hitting with the keyboard since 1.4 is probably triggered by another hack to prevent other bugs with SFSafariViewController.

Still not able to type in the beta app for me. Affecting both meta and the other board I have configured.

Saying this could be an iOS bug seems a little disingenuous given that these problems only started occurring with the new Discourse Hub. The reviews on the App Store seem to indicate many people are affected by the regressions in 1.4.x

FWIW: Crashlytics beta install process is much more clunky/painful than the TestFlight. I had to manually uninstall before I could install the beta? Had to manually copy install link from gmail to paste into Safari. So much friction.

To confirm if it is an svc bug or not

  • install gmail app
  • send email to self with link to site
  • click link it will open with svc
  • log into site
  • try to repro

If it happens in gmail as well it is an svc (safari view controller) bug
