iOS Console Version 2.2 issues

[Eric Bariaux]

Version 2.2 of the iOS Console is now available in the AppStore.
This is a major rewrite of the console, and although it went through a beta testing phase, some issues have now been reported with the final version in the store.
We're looking into the issues and will release an update to fix them. In the mean time, we advice not to update your existing console.

Issues that have been reported so far:
- sliders not working
- screen only partially visible after initial load (it should display correctly on subsequent loads / after app restart)
- incorrect handling of portrait vs landscape screens
- incorrect navigation (going to wrong screen in group)
- connection issues with HTTPS
- connection issues with security enabled on the controller

[Eric Bariaux]

- issues with tab bar not displaying correctly and/or displayed in white

[Dominique Swinnen]

Hi Eric,

It seems that we are many users having issues with the new iOS console (v2.2). I do confirm like many, that the sliders are not working anymore.
Any idea on the rough timelines for fixing the issues? On my side I cannot revert to the previous version....

Thanks again for the hard work!
Kind regards,

Dominique

[Eric Bariaux]

We have a first update that now fixes some of the more pressing issues reported so far:
- sliders not working

- incorrect navigation (going to wrong screen in group)
- connection issues with HTTPS
- connection issues with security enabled on the controller

- tab bar displayed in white instead of black

The fastest way for people to get hold of that version (mainly for those that have already upgraded to 2.2 and can't rollback) is to participate in the public beta. Please send me your e-mail address (eric at openremote dot org) and I'll add you to the list.
The build should be available later today.
Once a few people have reported the fixes work and no new blocking issue, we'll release to Apple for publication on the AppStore.

Tab bar displayed in white looks great! It's just my opinion ;-)

Same issues with sliders, I send a mail to subscribe to public beta,

Thanks for this great app!

Eric,

one more thing which I noticed when operating the new console: The control symbols for which I use two images (image and press image) also do react different. Initally I thought the flip between image and press image would not work at all anymore. Then I realized, it does work, but you have to press and keep pressure on the immage a little longer. 

Thanks for your excellent work on this.

I'm trying the new public beta, sliders works fine now but background image is missing (just as buttons with custom images), hope this information would help

For me, background images disappeared. Strange, as they were there with previous beta.

Kind regards,

Hi
I used the beta version via the TetsFlight app on an iPhone 6s.
For me, no png graphics work. Since all my graphics including the background color image are pngs, I couldn't see anything besides the text :( So my interface is not usable as is; needed to take out all images...

Still getting the "ERROR OCCUR: Generic HTTP error" when authentication is required.

Regards

[Michal Rutka]

No only background images are gone with this update. Also, I don't see camera feeds and emoncms graphs anymore (webview components).

[Jim Self]

Hmmm, here is the depiction on openremote 2.2.1 and the one of the prior version (which my wife keeps on her phone). Same controller, so I would say, there is problems with pngs not only in the background...

What I also discovered: at same point, the tab bar disappeared completely and doesn't come back even after killing the app. So only re-installing the app helps to get back to the settings and other topics...

[Othmar Kyas]

Eric,

iPhone 5, iOS 9.3.1 with Console 2.2.1

As the others report, all custom PNGs are gone (backgrund images, custom symbols). Sliders now work again. (Lights are dimming).

iPhone 5S, iOS 9.3.1, OR iOS App Version 2.2.1, OR Controller 2.2.0

I'm having the same issue as Jim in 2.2.1; background and png button/switch/slider images do not load on any screens in my panel.  In 2.2.0, 9 out of 10 screens loaded the images properly.

Interestingly, png images in the nav bar do load correctly the first time the nav bar loads (I have to go into settings and click "Done" for the Nav bar to load).  However, once I click any nav item to change screens, all the nav bar png icons disappear.  

My entire panel is custom png images, so this issue makes it very difficult to test; however, I can tell that the buttons still work; because I can somewhat remember where on the black screen the buttons are, and the controller responds when I click the right area.  And sliders are visible, but just the default slider images, not the pngs.

Working in 2.2.1:

1) Sliders are working now for me in 2.2.1

High-priority issues in 2.2.1:

1) .png images do not load on any screen

2) Nav bar does not load initially, I have to go into settings and click "Done" to load the nav bar each time I launch the app.

3) Security features do not work (retested with 2.2.1 today), with security enabled in web.xml, I get an error in the iOS 2.2.1 app, "ERROR OCCUR - Generic HTTP Error"

Low-priority issues in 2.2.1:

1) Nav bar loads with a white background, which is hard to use because all icons and screens were designed with the black nav bar

2) My panels are designed in the standard iPhone panel resolution 340x480, and in version 2.1.3, the panel was centered on the larger 4 inch screen of the larger iPhone 5S.  Now the panel is moved up to the top of the screen, which makes a "black bar" down between the bottom of the panel and the nav bar.  This looks odd and is more difficult to use.  I'm excited about being able to use the extra screen space on a new panel someday, possibly at higher resolution, but for existing 340x480 panels, it would be better if they were centered, or moved to the bottom of the screen instead of the top.

3) In version 2.1.3, syncing the controller with the designer would automatically trigger a re-load the iOS app, which was nice when adding/testing new features.  2.2.1 must be completely closed, re-loaded, and then I need to select the panel to trigger a re-load/update with new changes from the controller.  I have made some modifications to the controller since 2.2.0 was released, but I know the controller is still working properly because I have an iTouch and my wife's iPhone still running app version 2.1.3 properly.

Thanks Eric for your work on this!

Thanks all for the feedback.
Build 2.2.1.1 has been distributed as beta.
It fixes the most pressing issue of the images disappearing.
The TabBar should also be black instead of white.

We'll work on other reported issues as soon as possible.

[albert.mar...@gmail.com]

Hi Eric,

Now works fine! All images are displayed in my screen (background and button) and navbar is black, thanks again for this amazing app

Pd: I will test the app deeper to give you more feedback

Thanks, Eric.
Well, I am getting quite mixed results with 2.2.1.1.:
+ navbar is black
+ some pngs are back

- not all pngs are back. On some pages they show up on some they don't (see below) although it is the exact same pngs. Then, also no background png shows up.
- background pngs don't show filled. May be the "Fill screen" argument is not interpreted.
- once I kill the app and restart it, the navbar is gone...  

[Nathan Shepard]

Thanks again Eric for the hard work; 2.2.1.1 is way better!  Hope these notes are helpful:

iPhone 5S, iOS 9.3.1, OR iOS App Version 2.2.1.1, OR Controller 2.2.0

Working in 2.2.1.1:

1) 90% of screens in my panel load background, switch, button, and slider PNGs properly (see #4 below)

2) Nav bar loads with a black background and icons look great now, but the nav bar does not load when the app launches (see #1 below)

High-priority issues in 2.2.1.1:

1) Nav bar does not load initially, I have to go into settings and click "Done" to load the nav bar each time I launch the app.

2) Security features do not work (retested with 2.2.1.1 today), with security enabled in web.xml, I get an error in the iOS 2.2.1.1 app, "ERROR OCCUR - Generic HTTP Error"

3) Labels with both text and a sensor defined in the designer no longer display the defined text while waiting for an initial sensor value.  I like to define text in these sensor-based labels like "Connecting, please wait...", but now these labels are initially just blank.

4) No .png images do load on screens with Gestures enabled on that screen in the designer (see attached pic)

Low-priority issues in 2.2.1.1:

1) My panels are designed in the standard iPhone panel resolution 340x480, and in version 2.1.3, the panel was centered on the larger 4 inch screen of the larger iPhone 5S.  Now the panel is moved up to the top of the screen, which makes a "black bar" down between the bottom of the panel and the nav bar.  This looks odd and is more difficult to use.  I'm excited about being able to use the extra screen space on a new panel someday, possibly at higher resolution, but for existing 340x480 panels, it would be better if they were centered, or moved to the bottom of the screen instead of the top.

2) Nav bar icons are only 'blue' immediately after clearing the image cache (see attached pics).  Once the cache is cleared, the active group nav icon is blue, but after any navigation they are not highlighted. I know this is picky, but I thought I'd pass it along as a low-priority bug.

3) In version 2.1.3, syncing the controller with the designer would automatically trigger a re-load the iOS app, which was nice when adding/testing new features.  In 2.2.1.1 I need to go into settings and click "Done" to trigger a re-load/update with new changes from the controller.

Thanks!

Excellent work Eric. Testing again on iPhone 5c iOS 9.3.1 Console version 2.2.1.1.

Sliders work, all PNGs show. All functions and capabilities restored. Only small defect I notice compared to 2.1 is, that the alteration between image and pressed image is somewhat slow. If I hit a control quickly, the alteration does not happen at all, while the function is carried out. If I keep the control pressed for about half a second the pressed image shows.

I have been having a couple issues since the first update, was hoping to yesterdays update would fix them. 

1)    On one of my screens the images associated with the switches will not display, I can still touch the spot and the switch activates but no image, they are .png 

2)    Two of my switches on another page are not changing state, which doesnt allow me to shut them off. 

[Erik Skogen]

Hello, I have been looking forward to this update for a long time, I'm happy that we can now use the larger real estate of the newer phones.  But, as stated above, I too have some of these same problems.

1.  Sliders now work, but do not show my custom graphics.

2.  Custom toggle switches do not appear on some screens

3.  On other pages toggle switches do appear but toggles on but not off. 

4.  The nav bar icon along with text should turn blue when selected, now only the text turns blue.

If needed I can post screen shots between the old and new app versions. 

Once again thanks for all the work, this will be a great update once the bugs are worked out.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the quick release of 2.2.1 to the public. Still having some issues with security enabled controllers. HTTPS now works but users enabled throws an HTTP Generic Error on both HTTP and HTTPS connections. 

[Jim Self]

Thanks for the update.
Unfortunately I still have the issues as I stated above on May 3rd with (background and widget) PNGs on pages with gestures.

[Eric Bariaux]

Just FYI: we're working on the issues that have been reported but so far have a harder time reproducing them.
We'll let you know as we progress in the debug/fix process.

[Scott Drew]

Eric

Any updates on fixes for these problems? I'm still seeing switches not changing states and have lost icons. Let me know how I can help out

Thanks

[Cristina Chira]

Iphone 6 and version 2.2.1.1

- transparent switches only work with the off command

- design for iphone 4 - to get to almost full screen image - set iphone 6 to zoomed

Tablet

-incorrect navigation- always going to the first screen in the group

[Scott Drew]

Ok, so I did some testing and figured out a bare switch will work and change state but any time I place a .png on the switch it will not change state and allow me to turn the switch off. 

Please let me know a fix for the issue, I need to get this back up and working properly. 

Thank You

[Eric Bariaux]

A new beta of the iOS console is now available, and includes:
- Fixed : on initial load, some screens were truncated
- Fixed : images are not displayed for certain screens
- Fixed : username/password field for protected controller are not correctly laid out
- Updated : tab bar now use the images as mask, as it used to in console 2.1 and before. This should fix all issues reported regarding the TabBar

[Erik Trapp]

Thanks Eric for the new beta! (2.2.2.0)

For me the TabBar still does not show when I start the app but after I go into the settings menu and click "Done" the TabBar will show. If I close the app and start it again the TabBar is gone again. My TabBar only contains text.

[Jim Self]

Perfect! I got my pngs back! Background color png and icon pngs are working again!
Security login still generates HTTP error for me.
Plus: sometimes, the tab bar disappears. Can't easily reproduce it. But the only option then is to reinstall, since I can't get to other screen any more.

But what I also wanted to share: since 2.2.1 the performance has improved dramatically for me! Now, once I brought up the app, I can almost instantaneously interact with my home! That was what I was always dreaming of!
Thanks for this great tool!

I just loaded up the new controller 2.5.0 with professional designer and 2.2.1 iOS app and can confirm that HTTPS and user login are now functioning properly 

again. Thanks for all the hard work, its very exciting to see all the new developments from the OpenRemote team!

[Cristina Chira]

I installed the new controller 2.5.0 professional designer and 2.5.0.0  iOS app

ipad:

- no images on tab bar, only writting 

- incorrect navigation, always going to the first screen of the group

iphone 6:

   - buttons with transparent images do not work with ON command only off 

-images set as background get to the size of the screen while buttons stay in the position set for iphone 4 resolution, this affects room navigation with transparent buttons

Thanks,

Cristina
