Is this being coded in a cross platform language such as reactJS or flutter? I hope so.

Hi @bambamf16,

We are currently developing native apps for both Android and iOS.

Hmm. Seems like a lot of extra and somewhat unnecessary effort. Flutter would produce android, ios, and web at the same time. 

Hi @bambamf16,

It does involve extra work, however database queries are much faster with a native implementation.  The app supports any number of ISY simultaneously and we would like to keep speeds as fast as possible. 

Hmm. It was my understanding flutter compiles to a native code app. 

My understanding, of things like Flutter, is that it makes a native app, but that portion is really just a wrapper for a web app. I'm sure that's a bit over-simplified, and perhaps something has changed since I last read about it, but that's how I understood things.

 

As far as iOS and Android topics, will there be separate forum sections, or just one for UD Mobile and it's a good idea to add some tags to threads?

Also, if you need someone to beta test for iOS, I'm interested. I'm not sure if I have all the requirements met (looks like maybe it needs ISY Portal, which would be a bummer), but I'm willing to put in some effort, if that's helpful.

Hi @i814u2,

We will be looking for iOS testers soon.  Both apps do local and remote connections.  Remote connections will require ISY Portal or a valid CERT.  While it is possible to get around the CERT there is no guarantee it will work in the future.  

That sounds great, thanks.

I look forward to checking it out.

I would just like to say thank you for this. I put it on my Pixel 4. I haven't customized it yet; but it works, including the RPi. ?

I support five ISYs for people that all have iPhones. I look forward to the iOS version for them.

Thanks again . . .

I saw the video UD sent out, and was impressed by the crispness of the operations demonstrated in the video, (no doubt attributable to utilizing native coding). Unfortunately, not a Droid owner, but looking forward to IOS. Would be happy to help test. 

Congrats on this development. Having written console apps for the ISY I understand what a PITA grappling with NS underlying functionality can be. Really good move by UD recruiting you to develop.

I loaded the other five ISYs with only the Portal connections (no local) tonight. I can't believe how fast the app Portal interface is. Well done.

One small suggestion . . . Consider making the favorites tab specific to the ISY you selected. I can see arguments either way.

I'm all in Android, but the iOS app can't come soon enough for my users. So how's that going? Thanks again.

Hi @auger66,

Thank you.  A there is no option for a selected ISY, they are all combined into a single interface. That said you can achieve something similar by adding a favorites folder.  iOS is in testing, but we do not have a release timeline.
