ifixit / ifixit-ios Goto Github PK

1. In the Appliance category, the single guide displaying at the bottom is cut off by default
2. Can we slightly reduce the spacing between a guide's photo and its title?
   That would give more space for guide titles
3. if you start in portrait on a category, then go to the More Info tab, rotate to landscape, then go back to the Guides tab you'll sometimes have dividing lines cut short (to the portrait orientation length). More easily reproducible by going up a level from there

Customer: "The other issue—I was viewing favorites with the app on a customer site and closed the app. When I restarted the app I was a taken to the same page. I couldn't navigate away from that page or logout. It turns out that the logout button is black (same color as the header background) and I couldn't see it."

I'll investigate, should be an easy fix.

We're seeing requests to our backend with this header: Authorization: api (null). The Authorization header should only be set if the user is logged in.

See this and the other dozen places that will have to be updated.

• Replace 'saved' text with an icon / an option to unfavorite
• Add prices and icons on parts & tools
• Replace the text 'swipe to begin' with an animation or a pulsing indication to show which way to start scrolling
• Reduce the number of times I see the 'loading' hourglass. Load images for the next step before I swipe to it.

Hi Brian,
Below you find a screenshot of the issue I have with the connection to our site in the iOS app:
<image002.jpg>
I do not see a possibility to get out of this situation other then uninstalling the app and then installing it again and connect to the Heineken site.

This usually happens after some time not using the app.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Kind regards,
Gertjan

iFixit is still lacking support for the iPhone 5's taller 4-inch display. I haven't taken a good look at the code yet, but if you are using storyboards of nib files, it should be easy to add.

Any alternative?

Information from Brian:

Hey Stefan, I've got an iOS app bug that I was hoping we could fix quickly. The guides in this category are not showing up in the app https://heineken.dozuki.com/c/%D0%9E%D1%82%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB_%D0%93%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0

damn that's a crazy URL too

the guides are written in Russian. Could that be the issue?

The "Swipe to Begin" UI element uses text as a graphic. Please change this for localization purposes.

We're working on narrowing down the list of operating systems, but we have reproduced this in iOS 8.3.

There are a few different issues. First:

• Navigate to a guide in landscape view
• The right half of the introduction is cut off

Second:

• Open a guide in portrait view
• Navigate to a step with multiple bullets
• Rotate into landscape. Everything is happy.
• Rotate into portrait. Bullets underneath the first one are clipped. Scrolling in the text area reveals the hidden bullets.

There are more rotation bugs in these new OSs. Would you like us to exhaustively test and give you a list of all of them, or do they all have the same underlying fix?

iPhone:

• Crashed viewing answers tab on iPhone
• Photo/? icon doesn't make sense for background of loading image—let's replace it with a Photo icon
• When I'm offline, clicking Favorites takes a full second to do anything
• When I'm offline, and I tap a link, I get a blank page with a 'Done' and an x. Should I get an error?
• I'm consistently not getting all my guides available offline. Open app with network, go to favorites. Wait for everything to load. Close app, turn on airplane mode. Open app and tap favorites. Some guides are missing.
• On phone in horizontal layout, 'swipe to begin' overlaps with the navigation … somewhat
• If you're fast enough, you can click "Answers" icon before the view has completed it's transition. Hard to reproduce

iPad:

• The font / shadow on HTML page titles is hard to read. Nix the shadow (make it look like the title looks on Parts & Tools)
• Weird loading / unloading of images on featured collections when I scroll
• iPad app crashes downloading my favorites list. Does not on iPhone.
• On iPad, I got into a state where I have two tab bars at the bottom. It has to do with switching between featured and the main guide view. It's actually the bar that should be at the top of the screen displaying at the bottom. Repro'd three times, but don't have a reduction.
• When viewing a guide photo full screen you can't zoom out so the photo fills the screen, despite the aspect ratio appearing to match.
• If you rotate while viewing a guide photo fullscreen, the (x) exit icon finds its way behind the iOS status bar.
• When in edit mode in favorites, there are two buttons labeled "done". This seems confusing, can we disable/hide the one not pertaining to the edit?
• Navigate to the category skills > software. Notice the guide shown. Tap the device Ubuntu Linux and the relevant guides are loaded. There is no way to get back to the guide we had seen before without leaving the software category and re-entering it.
• Navigate to a device page. Click "more info", then click an external link. There's no way to get back to the previous page, even after leaving the page.

Tony:

• The example manual used in the opening graphic shouldn't be an apple manual. Copyright, precedent, etc. Use one of ours, or the tech writing handbook, or something

The iOS app displays all categories using the original page title for the category, whereas the desktop site and Android app use the Display Title to display categories throughout the site. The iOS app should be updated to use the Display Titles as well.

Example Category: https://gunnerautomotive.dozuki.com/c/Work_Instructions

In Android, it shows as "Assembly" (display title)

In iOS, it shows as "Work Instructions" (page title)

Bugs:

• Get rid of Lobster Font - Replace with Open Sans?
• When keyboard is up , pulling the screen down cuts off the ifixit login text

Design:

• Archive video for offline use
• Check for Internet when viewing a guide or guide steps
• VERIFY: 4.3 is crash free, this is the final TODO:

Future:

• Collections!
• Featured products
• Product thumbnails and prices
• More Info

Done:
* Translations for: "Start a Repair"
* Translations for: "Looking for Guides? Browse for thousands of them here."

* Hitting edit button in favorites turns the Done button blue
* Arrow should go the other way on Swipe To Begin
* Intros with videos on them loook way too big, make them smaller
* iPad: Fix rotation bug: Go to Repair Manuals in landscape, select another tab bar item, rotate to portait, go to Repair Manuals portrait.

* Image assets for tab bar items.
* iPhone: Hit the Guide tabbar and it will pop a viewcontroller off the stack
* iPad: ifixit logo for guide intro page
* iOS 4.3: override drawRect to prevent app from crashing because we currently try to use a method that was introduced in iOS 5.0
* Always allow users to access their favorites offline. Put refresh bar on left hand side of root menu, which allows favorites to be selected.
* Offline Guides: default to the first image on each step if viewing an offline guide
* logo doesn't size correctly when opening a guide in portrait mode, then closing guide in landscape mode
* Splash screen , support all orientations
* Should we come up with flat icons for everything or just wait for iOS 7? (let's wait =))

* IPad: Finalize CSS for More Info webview

* No results found shouldn't have an indicator arrow, it should be an alert instead of a cell
* While searching, disable favorites button to avoid a keypress
* Download medium size for secondary images after I'm paused on a step for a moment. I shouldn't have to wait for network download if I want to see the second image.
* Make search smarter, right now it just tries to find guides for a given device after selecting a search result
* Crashes on search display: Do a search, and scroll down a few pages. App crashes. (iOS 5)
* Search for canon. Tap on 'Canon Camera.' The title is 'Canon Printer' and you get and error 'No guides found.'
* 'Favorites are saved locally' -> Favorites are saved offline and …
* Title of message displayed when prompting for additional login information. 'Error' -> 'More information needed'
* Rotate on clicking on answers doesn't work—when you click back, it doesn't rotate back. Nix the animation.
* Put search back!
* New text: Favorites are saved locally and synced across devices. (remove second sentence)
* All fields are required -> Please fill out all the information
* Passwords don't match -> Do we really need this? Let's nix it. They can always recover. (Taylor and I agreed that this doesn't hurt to have, and could be helpful)
* Orange teardown, swipe very quickly through by tapping on bottom right. Crashes on load video. (out of memory)
* iPad: on home screen, favorites login shouldn't be full screen
* iPad: on guide view in portrait, favorites pane shouldn't be full height

* iPhone: There is extra space under the table view in the categories table view, as well as improper spacing when a guides section is added to the tableview
* Let's rename the parts store <title> so it fits on the title in the ipad without …
* Awkward having answers / more info deactivated on home page

When in a list of guides for a device, clicking on one of the list elements provokes a page flip to present the start page of the guide. During the flip animation of the page, the English language string "Loading..." is being displayed in its title bar - not the localized string.

Hey Guys,

this seems interesting and would like to test it here. Anyhow your Xcode project is missing some files - the SVWebViewController from Sam and the ASIHTTPRequest. The SVWebView is not a problem i could import the missing files without problems. But i'm havin some trouble with finding the right files for ASIHTTPRequest. Would be nice if you can help.

Cheers,

Sandor

On ipad mini, on the *featured section (the main one), when i select a specific guide i am taken to another one.
Do not seems to be a fixed thing.
Some links are correct, others aren't.

Is it possible with this app to link up to a dozuki site without pulling in other peoples dozuki sites, on dozuki a user can create their own subdomain and set of tutorials, how would one link this subdomain to the app without being able to see other people tutorials, a bit like ifixit, so that it looks like a standalone service.

I dont want an app like the dozuki app that links lots of peoples guides together. Just my tutorials i create on my dozuki site.

Hope i explained this clearly, it could be that i got the wrong idea of this app and it wont do what im looking for... but i thought id ask.
