Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS 0.10

-

Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS 0.10 is now available on Cydia. This is the Swift rewrite on Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS. For more detailed information about this release, check out this blog post. There are a few know issues with this release. Certain websites will stretch the web view above and below the top and bottom of the screen. This makes it so you can't access the very top and bottom of a page. Not really sure what's causing this, but it only happens with certain sites. The other issue is the app will crash if you try to submit something with a space in it via auto-correct or copy and paste. I'll try to fix this for the next release. If you are using the Electra jailbreak, the app may not install correctly. It may not show up on the home screen after installing. This is because the command to make the app appear on the homescreen (uicache) works differently on this jailbreak. If you run into this issue, you will have to run uicache manually.

The website has not be updated yet. I will do this later.

Changelog:

  • Completely rewritten in Swift
  • Now uses WKWebView instead of UIWebView
  • Added back and forward gestures
  • Added iOS 13 and dark mode support
  • Dropped support for iOS 8.4 and earlier

Small update for Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac

I am releasing small updates for both Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac. I have updated the URL for the default homepage to it's new location . This is in preparation for the Webs shutdown that will be happening very soon. There are no new features in this release. I will also be releasing a version of Brandsonic Web for Mac that already has the Big Sur icon. The icon is the only difference, the application is unchanged. I hope to have fixed the install issues that affected certain jailbreaks with Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS with this release as well. Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS 0.10.1 has been submitted to Packix and should be available soon. Brandsonic Web for iOS 0.10.1 will be available soon on the Google Sites site.

Brandsonic Web mobile, Packix and Havoc

-
I found out on Tuesday that Packix, the repo I've been hosting Brandsonic Web mobile on since ModMyi/ModMy shut down in 2017, is shutting down too. A new repo called Havoc is its successor. I intended to move Brandsonic Web mobile there. I transferred it from Packix to Havoc. I followed all of their guidelines and submitted Brandsonic Web mobile for review and approval. This morning I woke up to an email saying that it was rejected because they are "not interested" in hosting it. I am extremely disappointed and I honestly was not expecting them to reject it. I was ready to announce that Brandsonic Web mobile had been moved to Havoc. This leaves me in an awkward position. As of now, I have nowhere to host Brandsonic Web mobile. Brandsonic Web mobile will still be downloadable from Packix indefinitely but I have nowhere to submit future versions. I will host it on my own if that's what I have to do but I chose repos like Packix so I wouldn't have to go through the h
