Are you using ui, or scene?

I'm using UI

@JonB said:

Re FaceId, I believe this is the same as touchid in iOS. The code below should work with face for devices that have face instead of touch.

No, this did not work.... on my iPad and iPhone (no touchid) they ask me for my code....

Greetings,

I’m having an issue with the following
code, it simply crashes my Pythonista since the latest update. Does it work on your devices ?

Thanks!

import console

console.set_idle_timer_disabled(True) 

@nfmusician

Here u go!

console.set_idle_timer_disabled(flag):

Disable or enable the idle timer (which puts the device to sleep after a certain period of inactivity).

console.is_in_background():

Return True if the app is currently running in the background, False otherwise.

I'm playing with Pythonista, and it's a very nice tool.
I found also many suggestion on the forum, thanks.
I'm trying now to do accelerometer logging.
Issue is when the phone idles logging stops.
Searching around it looks like there is no viable solution, but I found an hint about the use of
console.set_idle_timer_disabled(flag)

I placed it in the Today widget and ran it, but unfortunately it's not working.
Is there any hope?
I'm attaching the code.

Thanks in advance,
Massimo

@Snaresman, the link took me on a bit of a run-around, so here’s the workaround for the bug:

import console
from objc_util import on_main_thread

on_main_thread(console.set_idle_timer_disabled)(flag)

@Snaresman see here

Thank you. It was driving me mad. :-)

See the second link https://forum.omz-software.com/search/set_idle_timer_disabled?in=titlesposts

I am calling console.set_idle_timer_disabled(True) in my program and it crashes Pythonista. Is this a known issue?

Thanks
