Pythonista 1.6 beta Is available again!
-
Sigh!!! The app opens then crashes. It is still in my list of running apps but when I select it it flashes and quits. Test flight says beta expired 6 hours ago.
-
So, I saved my documents folder via iMazing and re-installed 1.5. Saving was not necessary, but I've learned to cut the cards. Lost nothing but a curious observation.
Under 1.6, the iPhone 6 reports
ui.get_screen_size()of (320,568), but under 1.6, it reported (375,667). A challenge to us lazy types who hardcode location/dimensions for ui components. @OMZ: Also a little weird. -
@polymerchm, that is not weird at all. Apps that do not support a device's native resolution are instead run at a lower res, but displayed slightly upscaled by iOS. From the app's point of view the screen size is the emulated one, not the physical one, because it wouldn't be able to handle the real screen size. That's why the small size emulation happens in the first place. Pythonista 1.5 doesn't have largeyPhone support yet whereas the 1.6 beta does, that's why you're noticing a difference in the perceived screen size.
-
So I suspected. Guess I have to do it correctly and detect the "real" suppoted screen size. Or wait for the next beta.
-
Has there been a new beta version yet?
-
I'm showing expired 3 days ago, Crashing on load.
-
I went into the Apple AppStore and downloaded the v1.5 version and it flawlessly performed the downgrade from v1.6 beta to v1.5 preserving all of my scripts. I can not use the v1.6 capabilities but at least I have a working Pythonista that no longer crashes on load.
-
I was also able to downgrade as @ccc suggested, without losing any data. :)
-
Strange, when I check the App Store for Pythonista, it just shows the normal "open" button instead of the cloud redownload icon. Tapping that button tries to open the app, and fails as expected. Was this changed with the iOS 8.3 update?
-
For me it behaves as @dgelessus said. I'm on iOS 8.3 as well. The app crashes on boot.
-
Same here - iOS 8.3 FUBAR'ed all available paths to downgrade without losing data. Can't downgrade via the AppStore (showing "OPEN" button). Can't backup the Documents folder.
I shouldn't have procrastinated....(in hopes that Ole would push another beta build) :(
-
I guess I snuck in under the wire. Downgraded before 8.3 fiasco.
-
Just successfully installed (downgraded) Pythonista.ipa v1.5 using iFunBox's "Install App" and didn't lose any data!
-
Thanks for the 8.3 tip. I was just about to upgrade iOS but was able to downgrade Pythonista first without loss. It wasn't that big an issue because I am fully backed up. Now anxious to get Bluetooth BLE again.
-
So I'm just wondering what exactly is going on with 1.6? Is there a new beta coming or is it going final? Thanks.
-
I expect between new glitches due to 8.3 and tidying up loose ends, 1.6 is plodding. Wouldn't surprise me if OMZ has a day job too!!
-
Ole doesn't seem to have posted in any of his normal haunts (forums, blog, twitter feed) since April 1, several days before the beta expired. That is very unlike him. Even if he doesn't have an immediate fix for some issue he usually comments. It is rare that he doesn't comment on something in one forum or other every couple of days. I hope he is OK.
-
He's tweeting. Last on the 17th. So my opinion stands.
-
@polymerchm I was expressing concern, not trying to contradict your opinion. I'm happy to be wrong. It is not a debate. I just hope the long silence in these forums doesn't mean he is sick or something. I still remember Fabio Varesano.
-
DIdn't mean to sound combative. Not sure about the person to whom you refer, but if its a loss of someone who frequented the forum, my apologees.
