FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

Now we all patiently wait until the new lead developer puts a new TestFlight link out publicly.

Thank you David for getting Mlem off to a brilliant start, can’t wait to see where it goes from here on out!

Dev here. We're working to get a new TestFlight link up ASAP, the main blocker is Apple's review time since it technically counts as a "new app." We'll be putting out a statement to the community about all this later today.

There is a review process for TestFlight?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Only when you submit a brand new app, after that all updates are super fast

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

to be clear, the TestFlight review process is "up to 48 hours". in our experience, it's been between 2-12 hours.

Yep the creator of Mlem stepped down, but if you refresh your TestFlight app you’ll see it’s already disappeared. The certificate that keeps the app on your phone will actually work for 90 days from now before it won’t open. But the new Lead Developer will hopefully have a new TestFlight invitation link in the next few days etc.

Does that mean we all need to delete the old app and get the new one when it drops?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t delete it, you won’t be able to get it back for now. Once the team have published a new link for the TestFlight beta then install that and delete the old app from your device. The old version will let you use it for 90 days before it will stop functioning.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The beta app should work for the next three months. The developers will submit the app again to TestFlight. You can then join the new beta, or wait for the App Store version, whenever that happens. If you are happy with the beta you have, consider to let others join the new beta. For example, blind users might want to get the new beta because it will be the only Lemmy client that supports VoiceOver.

They try to submit the app to App Store 1st of July, and after that it will take from few days to weeks for it to be accepted to App Store.

Well. I guess that was not a true statement.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or simply an unintended error when pulling the plug.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

well the statement was "im going to pull the plug in 2 days"

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

iOS really sucks for FOSS and personal development…

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

This has nothing to do with iOS, this is to do with the maintainer / owner of an open source app having of building it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

IOS sucks because the developer removed the app?
