Awful is essentially page scraping and it has to load the page first. So, yeah, it’s because it has to download all the images first.

It shouldn’t need to load the images to scrape the page, though—images are out-of-band which is why they bounce all over.

It's not a bug. It's just that most other apps stopped automatically checking the pasteboard by default when Apple changed that. You can disable 'Check Clipboard for URL' in the settings tab

there's another setting you can change so it just pops up a little message instead of asking for permission. don't remember what it is but i'd do that instead, and I did

An image loading question I have is this: when I load a post full of images, then decide I want to save one, I long press on it which opens it in a viewer, but it has to load it again here? Just wondering why that is

You can’t search in Awful so if you ever wanted to find something that’s not at the top of the forums you can to go to browser and copy the result.

I misread the original as saying they got the url handoff message which is different than the paste message. This is the correct solution for the pop up anytime you want to paste.

Go to Settings > Awful > Paste From Other Apps > Allow.

This only appears after the first time you get asked for paste permissions, but it must be set in Settings.

It's because the posts view has loaded the images in a browser view (and it's in a browser cache), but that image preview screen is native iOS so it's gotta load it again. Running image links from posts through the native swift Nuke image caching thingo is a potential fix for that, but maybe overkill since you're probably only ever previewing a small percentage of all images seen. And I'm not sure if doing that would help with images loading in the webview (it might)

That sounds a bit like the below. Is your iPad the same age?

NoneMoreNegative posted:

Latest app, iOS 16.5.1 on the original 12.9 IPad Pro crashes when trying to do any 'active' action on the app (posting, editing posts, voting threads) but only after the app has been open a little while, opening it again after the crash and trying the same action succeeds. May just be the age of the device / memory constraints & background app cache handling, but posting for the record.

Will be tricky to address since there doesn't seem to be a direct cause, but I'll see what's going on in the background while editing/voting/etc. I should finally have some time for app stuff this weekend

So regarding the ipad crashing, I've only ever managed to see one crash. I don't have an iPad, so I need to use a simulator. I've simulated both iPad Pro (12.9") (2nd generation) and iPad Pro (12.9") (6th generation)(16GB). I've made three new posts and edited them ~40 times, with breaks in between to view other threads/make random activity.

I do believe there's an issue since there are multiple reports, it's just annoying to nail down a cause (and then confirm that any change I've made has actually fixed it)

The one time it did crash, it traced back to the spinning progress bar thing MRProgress. Which is an ancient third party library for progress things, so maybe.. but I'll keep testing.

Those crash reports go into App Store Connect, which only pokeyman has access to. And there aren't badges or notifications or anything - you have to go looking for them to see them. When I had a forked build on my own App Store Connect account, spanky would post all sorts of reports and I'd rarely see em.

Urcher posted:

The app doesn't have any background activity, as far as I'm aware. Could you have a look at Settings, Battery, scroll down a bit and select Last 10 days and then Show Activity?

That should show you how much time each app has been "on screen" vs "background".

That's good because I have no idea what those errors are or what you were doing at the time that could have produced them

In other news, fileglass - the potential alternative image host that was offering a free application api - has declared they're shutting down and that the service was always doomed to fail from the start. So that's cool. At this point (around 1:45am sunday morning, to give an idea of seriousness) I'm wondering if it's worth spinning up something myself. I've looked at Chevereto and Backblaze B2. And there's a free CSAM checking api, since I'd probably need to consider poo poo like that, unfortunately. There are also a few NSFW image checking Swift libraries that could help with moderating. I don't care to ban nsfw at all, but poo poo should be flagged for moderation checks, probably. Just tired thoughts at this time tho. I still need to reach out to lpix.org... not sure if they could accommodate app uploads. And everyone would need to register there.

In less glum news, here's some Search stuff I started a few weeks ago. There's still more to do (like pagination, UI stuff) but it's pretty promising so far.
