Sorry all. The Mac build stopped working because we didn't push an update out for awhile. Just a TestFlight thing. New build is out and should be working again if you update.

Also we are getting closer to releasing Ivory v1.4 for iOS and finishing up a few final things for the Mac App Store release. We appreciate your patience on this!

@ivory Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the next release!

@ivory ok, so I’m not crazy. I’ve been trying to figure this out all day with troubleshooting 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@orthoheterodox Lots of little things, but the main feature we've been working on is completely revamping our media viewer system which includes ALT text.

rodstraks

@ivory well that explains my issue! 😃. Not seeing the update, I’ll give it a bit more time.

Bill Vinson

@ivory I only just got affected by it, but now I can’t start Ivory and it’s still showing version 0.8 that was released back at the end of March. Hopefully a new build will show up soon 😁

@ivory I'm not seeing any update. The version I have is 0.8 (13122), released 3/29/2023. It's still working, though.

My mistake. We pushed the update to Apple, but has to go through review still. 🤦‍♂️ Will hopefully get released tomorrow.

Brett Elliff

@ivory TIL TestFlight apps also have a review process.

Oliver :mastodon: :piraten: 🇺🇦

@ivory Thanks for the fast response, filed feedback yesterday! 👍🏻

J.A. Bell :verified_coffee:

@ivory Strangely, mine hasn't stopped working and hasn't updated!

Terry Money

@ivory Mac version is working again in the UK

@ivory

Yaay. Apple has approved the Ivory for Mac TestFlight update and the App no longer closes shortly after launch.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@Athavariel Lots of little things, but the main feature is a completely revamped media viewer with proper alt text visibility. Should be a good update!

Mike Beasley

@ivory That's really weird because it says it has 58 days left in TestFlight.

Scott Yoshinaga

@ivory I'm using the Ivory Mac via TestFlight and it still works, but it says that I was removed from the test program? Not sure what happened?

Dan Sturm

@ivory I think I'm still on an older (broken?) testflight v0.8 (8011). It says it expires in 13 days and I'm guessing it'll just die then?

Eshu Marneedi

@ivory Oh, so that’s why the Mac app was crashing! I’ve been trying to figure that one out all day 😅

Jeremy Kitchen

@ivory I seriously cannot wait for the desktop release. Trying to do all of the photo posting and whatnot from my phone is an absolute disaster. I *need* this :(

(Absolute disaster not because of ivory but mostly because organizing photos on phone is just terrible)

jcmurty

@ivory i assume that explains why it started insta quitting on me 24 hour ago?

Derek Guder (he/him)

@ivory Can’t wait! Eager to get a solid, syncing desktop interface.

Scotty Trees

@ivory is there a GitHub or email where I can send feature requests suggestions btw?

joe kimberlin

@ivory mac testflight apps can just stop working before expiration? not heard of that before

Robert Male

@ivory Crossplatform version iOS version and Mac version together?

Григорий Клюшников

I was also "removed from the test program" — what does that mean and how do I get back in?

Michał Ćwikliński

@ivory Any ETA for Mac app - looking forward to it…

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@akachalo Our beta has been full from the first week in. Just have to wait until the official release (which is hopefully soon).

Jeff

@ivory Seems kinda crappy that Apple would do that? Mines shows that it doesn’t expire for another 58 days. Am I missing something?

Shelby DeNike

@ivory The new build is working great, thanks!

Tim Stringer

@ivory The previous Ivory for Mac TestFlight build recently started crashing at launch. The new one works like a charm!

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@timstringer Yea we had the app set to automatically time out after 30 days and just didn't get an update out in time.

Tim Stringer

@ivory Thanks for the heads up and I appreciate your quick response to this issue. It’s good to be back up and running on the Mac!

Sara M

@ivory Do you know why the MAS builds don't send emails like other TestFlight apps? The “push notifications" option doesn't seem to work for the MAS (at least on my computer) so I tend to miss the updates if they don't email.

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@sararielle Honestly not sure. We have no control over the testflight settings. Maybe the email is going to your spam box?

Sara M

@ivory nope. for some reason Ivory doesn't have the *option* of emails. (first screenshot is Ivory's settings. second is a different mac app. tho that app is multi-platform so maybe mac-only apps don't have the "email" option? that would be silly but who knows with Apple.)

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@sararielle Oh it might be based on how you are signed up for testflight for a specific app. Since ours was a public invite, we didn't capture your email address if you just joined yourself. Maybe for the other app you are testing, you provided an email address to get invited?

Sara M

@ivory nope. I've only ever signed up for public testflights. And the emails come from Apple (who has my email bc betas are tied to my Apple ID) not directly from the app market. The only variable here is that it's a mac-only app.

Sara M

@ivory also, FYI, every time one of these messages comes in on my mac it dings, despite sounds being off in settings

Thomas Schindler

@ivory Good to hear. By the way: Will the final macOS version also be working on Monterey?

Ivory by Tapbots :emoji_wink:

@datom No Ventura is the baseline. Monterey had way too many issues with a complex catalyst app like ours.
