Hey everyone, quick update, I've not forgotten about the iPad version or people looking to get onto the TestFlight.

I'm in the process of re-working the app into a three column layout; removing the tab bar and having app sidebar to replace it. Home and communities will be split with a list view for the posts and detail view for the comments.

I want to get this to a decent stage before I push it out for anyone to test.

Just like the iPhone version was. This will break and should be considered an alpha.

First impressions are pretty good, way netter optimized for iPadOS than any other Lemmy client richt now.

One bug I've found so far: pressing on the profile icon in the navigation bar opens the Inbox and not the profile.

Oh that’s a fun one! I’ll be working on the iPad version some more over the weekend so I’ll fix that one then 😊

[–] MikeT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

FYI: This happened when I turned of the button labels.

Are there plans to support shortcuts?

Would love to see the following ones first.

CMD+N for creating a new post. CMD+Enter for submitting the post. CMD+shift+F for global search. CMD+F for searching the current view.

[–] MikeT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

J/K, up/down arrow keys for navigating between comments.

Left/right for collapsing and expanding comments.

[–] MikeT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Support undo + redo history in the comment box (CMD+Z and CMD+SHIFT+Z).

I changed my phone to an iPhone 15. For some reason it’s not remembering that I paid for the lifetime subscription. When I select restore purchase nothing happens

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is this on the App Store or TestFlight version of Bean?

[–] dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

App Store version.

[–] Nomadin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like the layout. It definitely feels more like an iPad app already. I like to see the communities. I find that the subscription feed options don’t always show me what I want to see, so checking in on my favorite communities is handy.

Will it be possible to sync the groups we create between devices?

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

iCloud Sync is on my (ever growing) todo list but I’ll make sure it’s there for 1.1

The layout is likely gonna change over time but hopefully it’s a start!

[–] MikeT@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Buttons text doesn’t seem to be horizontally-aligned to its button (see Home in the screenshot, looks higher than it should be) and the buttons doesn’t seem to be spaced out evenly.

Why was I removed from the beta?

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t think I removed anyone who was in the 1.1 beta already. I’ve not added anyone new yet as I’m reworking the iPad version before I do.

I reset the TestFlight when 1.0.2 was released. I’ll be sharing the TestFlight with more people soon!

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Gotcha. Makes sense. Thanks!

[–] snailfact@infosec.pub 1 points 2 months ago

it keeps crashing when just scrolling, ios 17.0 iphone 15 pro

[–] MikeT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I shared one in a separate post here: https://lemm.ee/post/4483070

[–] MikeT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

If you’re viewing a community and tap on Home or double-tap it, it doesn’t redirect you to Home.

[–] acetuk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did I miss the cut for this? I didn’t see any post to sign up for the TestFlight.

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You haven’t! I’m DMing links but I haven’t been at my computer much the last couple of days to get them out.

[–] acetuk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No problem. I just thought I had missed Something! No rush…. I’m here all night! 😀

[–] steve228uk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Me too, my date cancelled on me so I’ve been programming instead 😂

[–] TSR55@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Still crashes just scrolling in about 5 min. Every time now on my iPad 7.

[–] Snickeboa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The automatic system theme only works when starting the app fresh / after closing it and opening it again. It won’t “hot swap” between dark and light mode as other apps does.

[–] MikeT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

When tapping on an image to view it full screen, the app’s sidebar for some odd reason does a full screen mode and then animate back into regular mode when dismissing the video.

Let me know if you wish me to upload a video.

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any update on this? I paid partly because I wanted to support the development of the iPad version.

[–] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

The developer is sick with covid atm.
