Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

I'm using the App Store version and it is using a ton of battery on my 6. It's just slurping it down. I don't know if this is a dupe sorry.

Awful doesn't run in the background, and I'm not aware of anything particularly stupid we do that might waste battery, so I'm not sure what I can offer you. Are you using Awful a lot?

No.

(Honestly, it probably should, but I'm kinda scared of all the places we're sure to come across where we're assuming 40-post pages.)

I had the same problem. The instant I stopped that process and deleted the app, I went over to the App Store, where it was already in progress of downloading the store version.

You can check for a crash report on your phone and, if it's there, send it over:

1) Open Settings app
2) Go to Privacy, then Diagnostics & Usage
3) Select Diagnostics & Usage Data
4) Locate the log for the crashed app. The logs will be named in the format: <AppName>_<DateTime>_<DeviceName>
5) Select the desired log. Then, using the text selection UI select the entire text of the log. Once the text is selected, tap Copy
6) Paste the copied text to Mail and send to an email address as desired

(I didn't even know this was a thing until just now. Found it over here if anyone else is interested.)

There's no "select all" option here, which is an odd oversight.

Anyway I've got three Awful crash logs and I've put them here: 1, 2, 3. These are all from the app store version, iPhone 5s w/ iOS 9.1, and I believe that all of them are due to the custom keyboard problem.

I really like how in Tweetbot when I open a link I can swipe left to right to go back to my timeline instead of having to reach and click the done button. It's a feature they recently added. Is that something that others like and the developer(s) would consider adding?

Awesome, thanks so much. I've spent the last ~hour trying to figure out how to symbolicate those, and despite having the dSYMs for every Awful release in the last like two years sitting here, I've completely failed to figure out what the Awful bits of any of these crash logs are. So gently caress you very much Xcode.

(Non-dev-speak: I thought these crash logs would point me to the answer, but through no fault of Heresiarch I am stymied.)

Tony Homo posted:

That sucks, I'm sorry about that.

Did it lock up while you were the middle of typing? Or as you tapped a particular button? Or when you returned to Awful from some other app?

Kazy posted:

My tolerance for barely-working hacks in Awful has gone down considerably over time, so unfortunately we're stuck for now.

I was having issues this morning where I'd freshly open Awful and it would crash instantly. I tried killing it from open apps, and opening again would crash again. iphone 6 ios 9.1. It was probably around the same time as the previous posters post, so might have been SA giving weird output that awful wasnt expecting. it would show the forums list before crashing if that matters.

Kind of an edge case but would it be possible to add a toggle to disable pull for next page?

I scroll as I read a thread so my eyes are constantly only paying attention to the top half of the screen and sometimes I don't notice I've hit the end and when I release it goes to the next page before I've finished reading.

Also is it just me that finds it easier to just tap the arrow to go to the next page rather than dragging up. I've never used pull for next page in any app

I looked into the the problem with third-party keyboards a little while back using my own crash logs, and I think it might be a problem out of our reach. Most of the matches I could find were problems with an interaction between a WebView and a third party keyboard like us.

Interestingly, for some reason it never happens on the version built from source, and I'm wondering if it's a race condition that building for debug happens to just barely duck.

Looking into this more, I agree: the crash comes from WebThread triggering a layout pass, which throws an exception if it's not on the main thread. And I had it happen building from source, so I guess you're just lucky.

While there might theoretically be something we can do to work around it, I'm not sure what that might be. It seems to be an issue in iOS, and we're not the only ones affected, so I don't think it's gonna get fixed.

The forum list has a bug somewhere and it gets out of sync with the cached data, and this is what it looks like. Only answer I have until we fix the bug is to delete and reinstall Awful.

Dude?
It might be an os bug but I don't have any of those problems in any other apps and I use a lot of apps. I'm just back to using the stock keyboard because Awful is worth more to me than SwiftKey or Swype. That being said, being able to use one of those again would be nice.

The direct cause seems to be an iOS bug. What's not clear to me is whether Awful does (or doesn't do) something in particular that triggers the bug. That's why I'm not surprised to hear something like

because other apps might do something faster, slower, in a different order, or what have you and therefore avoid the bug.

It's not a closed issue, and I'm not saying "won't fix it", but I'm not sure how to deal with it right now.

The worst kind of bug, really. Been there.

I'm keeping swiftkey installed and as my default keyboard right now, I just go to a different app and switch to the default one before I try to post anything from the phone. And sometimes I forget and swiftkey comes up and it works okay and doesn't crash. Go figure.

I'm still mulling over things we could possibly do to alleviate the issue, if not fix it outright. Maybe I'll surprise you in a future build.

Does the "Hide Sidebar in Landscape" setting not do it for you? It's admittedly kinda broken on the iPhone 6+/6s+ but it should get you closer.

Not sure if this is already a known bug but hey.

On a weak or nonexistent internet connection when you pull up to go to the next page of a thread, of course it fails with the "internet connection appears to be offline" message. If you then get the connection back and pull up again, when the next page finishes loading the screen will scroll down to the very bottom of the new page (though the page won't be marked read or anything). An oddity.
