Mostly broken, barely usable, install debug apps on IOS

[Dave Dyer]

Installing debug builds on iPad almost doesn’t work at all, due to some screwup in the touch management.  Clicking to install a build either does nothing or brings up the keyboard, 80-90% of the time.

I presume this is a bug in JavaScript support, somewhere between Firefox on iOS and codenameone.

Video available but too big to post here.

You need to use Safari to install.  We never supported any other browser for the install part.

[Dave Dyer]

It behaves the same using safari

Can you create a private youtube video and post the link?

Not too impressive to watch, but while the install link is visible I am repeatedly

Tapping on the target area.

Yep this has some sort of issue on mobile Safari like Dave was saying, I have also seen it

There is another issue when viewing the dashboard on Chrome (desktop)

In my experience it looks like clicking goes dormant after the dashboard is open for a while. Clicking again triggers something that awakens the click event but only after a few mins after having clicked again

To test this:

1. Open dashboard on Chrome

2. Leave dashboard open for a few mins

3. Click to download/refresh/etc. (here it fails). It will work again if you wait 1 minute after this

TBH I was a much bigger fan of the old dashboard but I understand there were some reasons to move to the current one. As a side note the UI could really do with a makeover. It's not really important (the only thing that really matters is that it works). But colors could be made friendlier and edges could be rounded here and there :)

@Dave you need to make the video visible to people with the link. Sorry I wasn't clear about that.

@Javier try the new Build app. We'd like to move to a more "desktop app" oriented approach instead of a web app. This will give us greater control.

[Dave Dyer]

I changed it from private to unlisted

[Javier Anton]

I see, all is good. I don't mind the current state of the dashboard. Either way, it's great to know you have plans to improve it

I'm not sure I understand from the video since I don't see your hand it's hard to tell. You mean you have a problem with the first UI. Right?
In clicking the button that gets you to the Install page.

[Dave Dyer]

It's a screen capture, so no hand.  After I open the IOS panel, I tap on the "install" area about 6 times before it finally takes effect.
