EnglandHey guys. Just as a small announcement. I have made a small iMessage app so you can add FrankerFaceZ emotes into your messages. This is a free app for iOS only. It's just for funzies, but feel free to post suggestions to make it more useful/ usable. Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/frankerfacez/id1470109345?ls=1
Have fun :) Luke
Why would there be a chat box? It's not a live streaming application.
Not likely. I have not been actively looking for an android dev, so until I do it's an iOS exclusive.
Version 1.02 is now available. iOS 8 compatible :)
Hey Riekelt. The problem was that I was calling a method, after booting, that is new in iOS 9 and crashing. Specifically setting the keyboard colour to a dark theme. I didn't realise that this was a new feature and unfortunately put it in at a late stage, apparently after testing iOS 8. My own silly mistake. I have now wrapped it in the following statement to make sure it is only called, when safe:
if ([[UISearchBar appearance] respondsToSelector:@selector(setKeyboardAppearance:)]) { //for >= iOS 9 users [[UISearchBar appearance]setKeyboardAppearance:UIKeyboardAppearanceDark]; }
At work we have a designated tester, so it's not usually an issue – bad habits. For the next release I need to change a few other things that will make it compatible with iOS 7 too. The same problem with that, really. Just got to make sure I'm not using any methods that do not exist in iOS 7.
@CatlyNat I have found the problem, and it is unfortunately all of iOS 8 users that will suffer from this bug. Feel free to update to iOS 9 to overcome this, but otherwise it will be around a week or so before I can get an update out to fix this. Thanks for the feedback. Luke
Hey. Thanks for the heads up. I'll do some testing and see if I can see what the issue is. Hopefully it's a one off thing and it now works for you.
After a very lengthy debate over T&C with Apple, my unofficial SpeedRun.com iOS app is available from the App Store. Available for iPhone and iPad here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/browser-for-speedrun.com/id1051568689?mt=8
I was unable to state this in the description, but this is pretty much a beta release. It's a bit rough around the edges and may not have perfect functionality. It also does not have all the functions that I am wanting for the final release, but it's pretty close.
I hope you enjoy the app. If you have any suggestions, you can either leave comments here or on twitter. Have fun. Luke
With opening the dispute, I hope they tell me what I would need for something along those lines. Hopefully they don't take too long to get back to me about it. It's literally at the front door, with it's shoes and coat on and Apple has lost the keys to get out. Weak.
Yours, Luke Ma. A (Master of analogies)
Opening: ¤iOS App naming competition¤ Apple has rejected the app only on the grounds of the app title now. Apparently... "Your app or its metadata contains misleading content. Specifically, the app name still creates a misleading association with Speedrun.com. "
I've basically sent a message back with "are you for real?", but may not win this one because 'Apple'.
This is so pety, but if anyone can think of a name that 'doesn't create a misleading association with Speedrun.com' (...my god...) then it will probably be the title. First come first serve, no doubt.
Ok. Application is back into review as of yesterday. There are some nice new features that I've mentioned above in, but a few points that aren't polished yet. 1 - The application doesn't handle ILs categorisation yet. 2 - Small UI annoyances that will probably be ironed out over time. This is namely after you select a user and go back to the user search list. This is only annoying in compact mode - I'm sure you'll see.
Anyway, it should HOPEFULLY be out in a couple of days, but Apple have been known to find new faults on their 2nd testing.
Also, if anyone has an iOS device of any kind and would like to participate in some early-access versions to test, feel free to message me and I'll set something up. Thanks
Actually, here's the 3 reasons it was rejected for anyone who is interested –
(tl;dr version) 1 - App shows as 'In beta' 2 - Uses Castle of Illusion in a screenshot 3 - Contains an apparent misleading association with speedrun.com. Saying that it was an unofficial app apparently doesn't satisfy them.. I'm going to have to get creative, i think.
November 7, 2015 at 2:20 AM From Apple 2.9 - Apps that are "demo", "trial", or "test" versions will be rejected. Beta Apps may only be submitted through TestFlight and must follow the TestFlight guidelines 8.5 - Apps may not use protected third party material such as trademarks, copyrights, patents or violate 3rd party terms of use. Authorization to use such material must be provided upon request 22.2 - Apps that contain false, fraudulent or misleading representations or use names or icons similar to other Apps will be rejected 8.5 Details
Your app includes content or features that resemble a well-known third-party material, Mickey Mouse, without the necessary authorization.
We’ve attached screenshot(s) for your reference.
Pursuant to your agreement with Apple, you represent and warrant that your application does not infringe the rights of another party, and that you are responsible for any liability to Apple because of a claim that your application infringes another party's rights. Moreover, we may reject or remove your application for any reason, at our sole discretion.
Next Steps
Please provide documentary evidence of rights to use this content in your app. Once Legal has reviewed your documentation and confirms its validity, we will proceed with the review of your app.
22.2 Details
Your app or its metadata contains misleading content. Specifically, your app creates a misleading association with Speedrun.com.
Next Steps
Please remove or revise any misleading content in your app or its metadata.
In addition, we recommend adjusting your app name so that the misleading element is used as a descriptor, not as part of the product name. For example, the following styles are acceptable formats for names:
GreatApp - with tagline "for Speedrun.com" GreatApp - with tagline "Speedrun.com edition" GreatApp - with tagline "Speedrun.com version"
Since your iTunes Connect Application State is Rejected, a new binary will be required. Make the desired metadata changes when you upload the new binary.
NOTE: Please be sure to make any metadata changes to all App Localizations by selecting each specific localization and making appropriate changes.
2.9 Details
Your app also contains references to test, trial, demo, beta, pre-release or other incomplete content.
Next Steps
Please remove all references to “demo,” “trial,” “beta,” or “test” in your application description, app icon, screenshots, previews, release notes, and binary. If you would like to conduct a beta trial for your app, you may wish to review the TestFlight Beta Testing Guide.
Well, were slightly delayed. I had a screenshot of 'Castle of illusion' and was rejected on copyright grounds. I will finish 0.2 and submit that to the App Store rather than appealing this one. Probably another week or so added to delivery time
Just a work of warning - v0.1 does not handle milliseconds. v0.2 has this resolved, but just a heads up. Thanks, Luke
Since version 0.1 is still awaiting review, I have decided to build on 0.2 until deployment of that version is possible. Last night I added the ability to select a user in the spreadsheet to drill down into their profile and began work on the ability to search for users, which will be implemented in the next session (thanks again Lighnat0r for the help on that one).
As of last night, I have began streaming the development of this application on Twitch, so if anyone out there is interested, at all, in watching how it's made, then feel free to follow my twitch channel to be notified when I go online. As this is a project for the community, I think it'd be cool (and also appreciated) if people could tune in and give live feedback on the development to input needs and ideas.
Thanks people. Luke
Version 0.2 is complete and will be submitted as soon as 0.1 has been accepted. v0.2 includes the [emu] flag and also some rearrangements and optimisations. This will hopefully be with you in a week or so.
Ah. I just rechecked the GET /leaderboards/{game}/category/{category} you're quite right - region is in there. I'll add this on the next version along with emulator. I can only assume I didn't get around to coming back to adding those in. Thanks.
Also, if someone is able to help me out with some API functionality, I can add some other important details. I believe I wasn't able to find information in the api response about game regions. On the website, it shows a little flag to show if it was a jap cart etc. The same goes for when it may state NES[emu]. I think the emulator boolean is in there, but I forget. Ignore me if it is - i'll add this at a later stage, no doubt.
