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
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.
@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
I know the apple hype, and everyone should always update because they can, but developing apps for version numbers lower than the newest version is kind of bad practice. Some people are not allowed to update their phones because they use it as their work phone and apps still need to work or w/e. This is something I've learned the hard way as a dev :3. (and support Android 4.1.2 still).
If I may ask, what is the problem exactly?
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.
Not likely. I have not been actively looking for an android dev, so until I do it's an iOS exclusive.
found this one on the internet @Racingmonster :) http://app.appsgeyser.com/2213848/Speedrun.com
