The official Discourse mobile app isn’t expanding to fill the gorgeous screen of iPhone X, sadly.

Hopefully something that can be easily fixed?

Probably won’t be fixed until we release 1.9, as we do app release after each software point release.

Kind of ballsy to call this a “bug”, don’t you think? 😉

I know… it’s not a bug.. I’m looking at it wrong 😌

I would say the “bug” is that someone released new hardware long after our app release 😃

So FWIW, it’s not trivial as the app is relying on the old navigation module from react-native, which has since moved to [GitHub - react-navigation/react-navigation: Routing and navigation for React Native and Web apps · GitHub](https://github.com/react-community/react-navigation)

react-navigation has iPhoneX support out of the box, so the issue is more about moving from a deprecated component to the new officially supported.

On the upside, no ugly black handle to stare at cutting through the progress bar

The biggest issue is safari view controller being in tiny mode, I wonder how hard that is to fix

For now, but I guarantee FaceID will be a default on all devices as of iPhone 9 in late 2018 — bye bye home button. This xxxtra tall form factor is here to stay. So as they say

> the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed

@j.jaffeux can you close once you get the app released

This is already implemented in the app I am running (beta) and works fine
