@Gargron Awesome! Vielen Dank! And I cross my fingers that you guys can keep the balance between doubling down in these exciting times for Mastadon and writing clean code :P

LHF 🇺🇦 🗽 🇪🇺

@Gargron Great! Any plans on a more powerful search in the near future?

Eugene Hauptmann

@Gargron any plans for the reblog quoting feature?

Shannon

@Gargron Thank you for all the work you do Eugen.

藤井太洋, Taiyo Fujii

@Gargron Thank you! I’m going to try it (not yet coming to Japanese Store), waiting with hoping setting posting language menu…

Noah Carver 👨🏼‍🦯

@Gargron Fantastic. Out of curiosity, is screen reader accessibility a priority for developers of Mastodon for iOS and Android? Thanks.

Andrew

@Gargron do you have/need pre-release testers using Test Flight?

realdawei

@Gargron not showing up in the US app store yet, but greatly anticipating link preview

CoolJojo 😄

@Gargron Thank you! I am truly grateful that you've create this awesome platform. 🙏 Please also remember to also take care of yourself and take some well deserved rest! 👍 :coffeecup:

eigenman :chickenroll:

@Gargron Hey wait, I was told Mastodon workflow wouldn't allow for updates. Gosh, was that person full of crap?

eigenman :chickenroll:

@Gargron Here's the post.

Guess it was more an edge lordish attack on the idea that Mastodon is opensource but somehow not workable. Dunno. Glad to see you have an update for something that was just asked for lol.

Maciej

@Gargron where can I find the latest update on GitHub? Latest release is 1.4.7.

Aruna D'Souza

@Gargron is there a way to know or find out which servers support which features?

kvanduh

@Gargron thanks for link preview card. The Andriod app was way ahead.

patrick o'leary

@Gargron @JohnMastodon John please consider giving Eugen a pay raise for all his wonderful work

Down10

@Gargron Can we change post privacy in replies yet? That is a huge oversight.

Esoter1k 👑

@Gargron I'm on the #Tooot app. That new "Trending" tab is one super-awesome feature! 🚀✨👍

Darnell Clayton :verified:

@Gargron Thanks! I am loving the latest update, especially on iPad!

rednaks

@Gargron i don’t know if this is only iOS but links to posts from the same instance opens the web browser instead in the app… unable to interact with it since I’m not logged in

Crypto Whale

@Gargron When the creation of accounts on mastodon.social will be re-open?

davunt

@Gargron awesome, been waiting for link previews!

Eshwar Nag

@Gargron why am I not able to login to mastodon.social instance using the official app? I don’t see the instance in the list at all

Unuhi

@Gargron it’d be great though if the app didn’t continue to crash any time I try to edit my profile.
I’m guessing it’s whatever accessibility settings combo I use, but can’t really troubleshoot that..l

Dr. Motte

@Gargron Hi & greetings & thanks for #Mastodon #App 😃
Can this be a link www.drmotte.de or drmotte.de too? But it’s not… how difficult is it to put it like this?
To write drmotte.de is not user friendly 😊
Thanks

maique :prami:

@Gargron Hmmmm... No update is showing over here (Portugal) yet. I waited a bit, but 10h seems too long for it to make it's way over.

kazys

@Gargron will the alt text field still be blocked on the iPad? Makes it very hard to enter.

stux⚡

@Gargron hmm also still not available in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

PandaCapone

@Gargron the iOS app doesn’t seem to use the full available frame rate.

Colliding Waves 🦣

@Gargron hmm not showing up yet in my US App Store. Can we get an edit button soon? #Mastodon #mastodonmigration

Scot Hacker

@Gargron Cool! Will this fix the inability to add Alt text to images?

Rage Against Leaves

@Gargron

Android users still waiting for a follow tag button in the main app

Paul Taylor

@Gargron I’m still not seeing this update in the App Store.

andrei

@Gargron still not available here in the u.s. the latest one is 1.4.8…

Hubert

@Gargron was this update pulled? Still seeing v1.4.8 in the Australian app store

Eugen Rochko

I don't know why this version (1.4.9) is still not available on the App Store. I suspect it's an issue or delay on Apple's side...

grant

@Gargron yeah, historically they take a break around the holiday but they apparently didn't do that this year. they did caution that review could take longer dec 23-27, so maybe there was a big queue a few days prior and it's still in the pipe?

Eugen Rochko

@grant It got reviewed and approved (on Dec 20, in fact, I do not announce these things until they're done), it just never appeared on the App Store afterwards even though it's marked Ready For Sale.

Fernando Mateus

@Gargron @grant It’s strange that’s showing now on the Portuguese App Store (it wasn’t yesterday) but it have the release date of December 19 🤔

Slade Rice Watkins

@Gargron Delays due to the holidays since they reduce staff and slow down reviews. Should be cleared up by the 28th.

willsmanic

@Gargron
Check out Metatext in the meantime
You would like it

BigTeal

@Gargron Is Apple working with twitter? 🤔 Hmm....

Nadim Kobeissi

@Gargron 1.4.9 is now available here in France, and I’m using it to write this post.

Manfred :ivory_boost:

@Gargron for me it’s visible in German App Store, Apple is not doing the holiday break anymore. Server sync issues maybe

DELETED

@Gargron just got it here in Canada 🇨🇦🙌

DELETED

@Gargron It was available 6 days ago in Spain…

Habib

@Gargron Available on the UK App Store now.

Mastodon iOS app update
Sebastian

@Gargron The update is available already. For some reason the app did not auto-update yet 🤷‍♂️.

Scott Robbins

@Gargron interesting coincidence, you post this and then hours later it appears.

František Klíma

@Gargron It's available for me now! 🎉 Btw this year the annual Christmas delay wasn't supposed to happen: idownloadblog.com/2022/12/01/a
So no idea what went wrong.

Rakete

@Gargron it is available but only if you visit the mastodon App Store page. Smaller updates land there and not at the update menu

nathan

@Gargron I just checked and now, as you complained, I can see it, at least in the German AppStore. Super strange, usually just app-review takes a few days off during christmas.

Michael Mrak

@Gargron Version 1.4.9 is now available in the Austrian App Store. Thank You and merry Christmas 🎄

Suresh

@Gargron It’s available now and just updated mine.

FiXato

@Gargron third party appstores were a mistake...

Marcus Fihlon

@Gargron Since Apple introduced the App Store, they do not make new submissions available during Xmas time. They shutdown their review process before Xmas and start again after New Year's Day. You have to wait until 2023 and until they work off the accumulated wave.

Travis Newton 👨‍💻

@Gargron I was refreshing it all week. It’s there now, dated December 19

titanas

@Gargron it’s probably the phased release or 7-day period?

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)

@Gargron I just had it show up in the US App Store within the last 30 minutes or so. However, the list for it shows the latest version having been released 6 days ago. Some sort of holiday hiccup, maybe? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Elwyn Malethan

@Gargron I have the new version now. Thank you. Btw, not all the UI languages that are in Crowdin (and are 100% translated) seem to be included in the app. What should we expect in terms of UI language? Thanks.

Jubo 🇳🇱 🌍 🇺🇸

@Gargron just downloaded the 1.4.9 version on my iPhone

Louisa Gareiss

@Gargron holiday break at Apple it’s normal that it takes longer.
