I'm going to compile today to see how it looks.
Unfortunately, there is no way to install apps on iphone without going through the apple store.
I think if you have jailbroken iphone you may, but I can't say for sure. I don't have one :(

Would love to test. I'm jailbroken and can install unsigned apps.

I think you can setup multiple devices linked to your account that are allowed to test the app. I thought about doing that myself but didn't. I will have to look into it further or you could check as well.

I'm still very new to this. What file should I send you to test?
In Android, we just need to distribute the APK file, but I have no clue about iOS :(
In any case, the app has been submitted for approval. Let's see what they say.

if this works well, then i will just not renew my subscription and not continue to keep my app in the app store.

Can you generate an IPA?


Looks like you submitted the app to apple. Awesome. Any screenshots of the look?

I've been reading and I think I need to register your iphone into my account in order to export the IPA and it would work on your iphone.
That's what Curt mentioned above.

To whoever wants to be included as beta testers, follow the instructions here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios ... -CH30-SW46
Go to the step "Locating iOS Device IDs Using iTunes"
Follow the steps and PM me the Identifier UDID.

WOW!!!

In the setup section, Name is misleading as I wasn't sure if this was the forum username or the name I wanted to call the tank... figured this out quickly :) Also IP address should say Hostname or IP Address as many are using some dynamic DNS.

The relay box icon is a little strange but I guess I'd get used to that.

Would love to see more of the variables that can be mapped added to the graphing page.

Overall, this is much more features than we ever had. Is the source on github? Do you need Xcode to compile the iOS app?

Yes, source code is on github and you do need xcode to compile it.
Does it work somewhat responsive?
I don't have a iphone to test, so I don't know how it responds.
The app is basically a HTML5 with jquery wrapped around a webview component.
I know the render of the HTML5/Jquery objects slow down the app, but that's the compromise over a native app.
In Android it is a little slow, but I can live with the half a second it takes to render the page :)

Very responsive. I really like it.

One thing I just tested and we can probably do to help the whole development process. Since you said this is an HTML 5 webapp essentially is you can just host it on www.reefangel.com. I don't think you need to keep it compiled. I was able to clone the repo and browse to the www folder and it works great (although something is off and it's not connecting properly... :)

But if you do this, it's pretty close to what I do with my custom portal. We can even add the little popup to say save to the home screen :) Then you can completely bypass the apple store... but if you're compiling the app through Xcode you probably are getting some optimizations there. Anyway something to consider at least for dev options..

Ok, found a bug. I have two controllers defined and the labels do not seem to be unique. So when I update the labels it shows on both controllers.

Hmm cant install from the device itself. Will download once I get home.

And anyone with a jail broken device and appsync anyone can install the ipa. No need to register the UDID.

Cant wait to give it a go. Thanks for the hard work.

Also just noticed, there's nowhere to put a portal key...

I have to look at the S3 screen size.
I'm using screen size to find out when to scale up for the big tablets.

So the main relay tab always shows my ports as off. Once I turn a port on I get a connecting to reef angel prompt. This prevents me from clicking the other ports as it block the middle ones. I know it's connected as I can turn ports on and off. Does that make sense?

App has been declined :(
I guess I need a video to demonstrate how to use the app.
Any takers?

I hated that part that they required a video. once you get the video, it will take them another week to review it.
you can record the video for the app using the simulator to make things easier.... that's what I did and they used it.

I had similar issue. After changing a relay the connecting to reefangel box hangs out there. Had to restart i think.

I noticed, but I don't think it is possible until I send a new release :(
I couldn't find it anywhere a place to upload a new one.

You can update it without releasing a new version. Just goto iTunes Connect. Then view the app. View the details of the current version. Then click the EDIT button for the details at the top. This will allow you to update your logo/large app icon.
