Hi there, the Artemis private beta rollout has just started! @hariette will be emailing 50 signup sheet users, while @lilkev will be adding 50 users from Artemis Discord. The order will be based on the submissions to the private beta signup form, as well as general activity within the Artemis community....
The rogue 2FA app that steals scanned secrets is now ranked 18 on the German App Store for the productivity category. No wonder! The app disguises as a Microsoft app. It is the top hit when you search for "Microsoft Authenticator" and the developer has updated the screenshots in the ad card to highlight the word "Microsoft". Surprisingly, the product page of the app shows different screenshots with the word "Microsoft" removed.
The app now has 1.2K reviews, as opposed to 18 when we first addressed the app.
🙏 Boosting this post will help spread the word. Thank you!
After being with Mozilla for a little over 5 years, I've been laid off today, alongside a group of some of my favorite people. So, I'm on the job market! I've got ~8 years #iOS, #Swift, and #ObjC under my belt, working on everything from libraries all the way through full user-facing features. So, I'm #opentowork. Boosts would be much appreciated!
Hi everyone, I'm a totally blind electronic Musician. I'm putting out the Call for #AudioDevelopers who are #ios conversant to come and work on a very special open source project with me. The project would be an open source groove box for everyone running on iOS but built with a focus on accessibility and voice over screen reader compatibility. If you can help reach out. reposts for this would be much appreciated thank you very much :-) #Techno#ElectronicMusic
We at @Vivaldi continue to be the only browser company all in on Mastodon and the Fediverse.
We have made our own instance, Vivaldi Social. Any user that has a Vivaldi account for sync or other services, can easily enable a presence on Vivaldi Social.
We have integrated Mastodon as a Web panel into Vivaldi.
We include links to Vivaldi Social into Vivaldi.
We also work on integrating our blogs and forums into the Fediverse.
We hope others will follow. Mozilla has talked a lot and we hope they will join us fully soon.
i've got an oldie iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5. this has some expired root certificates which results in several apps not working properly. Plex will load, but it won't be able to negotiate with your plex server, for instance.
since apple doesn't offer new iOS updates for it (with refreshed certificates).. it seemed like i was kinda stuck.
as it turns out, and is documented nowhere aside from a post on reddit, you can manually download your own root certificate - and iOS lets you install it without complaint.
This screenshot shows the app analytics data sent by two different #iOS apps: Duolingo and Tinder. What's the likelihood that both apps are installed on the same device? 💯? 🤯
Both apps use Unity Ads. The data in the screenshot is collected by the Unity Ads framework included in these two apps, and any app that uses Unity Ads. The data is sent to the same Unity server. As a result, Unity Ads can easily fingerprint users and track them across different apps.
Apple is not your friend. The company that used the governments to become a monopoly, is now crying because the government told them to allow iPhone users to install applications from other sources.
We live in a world where we need government regulations to allow us to run whatever code we want on our computers.
Oh and stop calling it 'side loading'. It's just called 'installing software'. 😪
The Feditext iOS client for Mastodon, GotoSocial, Firefish, etc. now has its own account on fedi.software! Please follow us here for official Feditext updates and announcements.
The GitHub repo for PeerTuber, the upcoming opensource mobile app for #PeerTube is now live. There's still a bit of housekeeping to do, but this is where you'll find the project: https://github.com/PeerTuber/PeerTuber
So, what exactly did Apple break in the EU 🇪🇺? A new blog post in which I analyze the current situation for Home Screen Web Apps on iOS 17.4 in the European Union.
I'm working on a doc with estimates for releases schedules (private and public) and feature timeline. It'll be an evolving doc but wanted to give more clarity in terms of expectations for everybody!
I'll share the doc EOD (PST).
But basically, private beta will start ramping up end of month. Initially supporting #kbin instances. But adding #lemmy support midway.
I was going to wait to talk about this until I could actually release it, but it’s becoming unlikely that will happen.
A few months ago I built an #iOS and #tvOS app for watching #Owncast streams natively on your phone and tv. You could browse the directory, or add your own private servers that aren’t listed publicly. It would send you push notifications when your favorite streams went live and it all worked pretty well.
Apple has been unable to understand how the “rights” work in this case. I can’t get them to understand that people opt into the directory, and the Owncast project owns and runs the directory. Instead they see it as me “using content without rights” and “accessing a catalog without proper rights”. They asked me to provide the paperwork detailing the agreement I have with every Owncast server. Clearly that’s impossible. The number of servers that want to be public on the directory change every day, I couldn’t send them new documentation every day. I tried to explain that the directory is kind of like a search engine and the application is like a browser. A browser doesn’t have explicit rights to every webpage ever made, as that would be ridiculous. I also tried to compare it to a podcast client. A podcast client can play back any podcast without asking for permission, and there are tons of podcast directories.
They’ll approve the application if I don’t use the directory and don’t have any Owncast servers directly available from the application, however. But I’m not willing to do that as that kind of defeats the point of the convenience.
I contacted a handful of attorneys, and I was willing to fight this. I hoped if I could get an attorney to draft a document that explains, in legal terms, something that Apple’s legal team would understand it could be cleared up. But I haven’t been able to have a meaningful conversation with any of them, as none of them understand what I’m doing or aren’t interested in working with a non-corporate entity.
So I think this is dead, killed by Apple. I tried to build something cool for you all, as a side project, to make viewing Owncast streams more convenient. It’s just not going to happen and I feel bad about it.
I know I'm one of many at the moment but in the current situation in Germany it's almost impossible to find something and I'm at the wrong end of the queue.
I'm looking for a new #iOS project, remote or Hamburg, can start asap, any off-payroll contract will do. 10+ years of native iOS development, mostly enterprise apps. Besides #Swift, #SwiftUI, UIKit, Obj-C, iOS SDK, I dealt with different architectures, APIs, frameworks and requirements. Can work both in an agile team and on my own.
