Any future plans to build a IOS app? #4412

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

I'm sure other people have asked this question in the past, and I seen a few that the issues were closed a few years back. Just that I would ask if you had any plans on building a IOS app? Would love to be able to use the 2FA like you do on the android side, but IOS works a lot better when you have a mac and ipad, every device works together.

si458 commented 2 years ago

do you mean an app to control the ios device, or to control other devices from your ios device? ios has no remote control support but like a view only mode with screen sharing, and you can already control other devices on ios by opening a browser (like safari) and going to your MC url

ghost commented 2 years ago

I don't mean to control iOS devices. It would be nice to have an app instead of having to use a web browser. Also would allow iOS devices to receive push notification 2FA

Ylianst commented 2 years ago

This is not a bad idea. On Android the agent also doubles as a push notification application. It works well, I use it occasionally.

I don't have the equivalent for iOS and I did start working in Swift a while back to build the MeshCentral Router for macOS. It would be fun to built a MeshCentral app with 2FA for iOS. This said, I am pretty swamped and going on vacation for 6 weeks starting September 7th. If anyone has skills to do this, that would be welcome, but not sure when I will get a chance to work on it.

It would be nice to have a admin app were we could quickly see our agents and reboot computers or get push notifications from broadcast or messages from the meshcentral assistants when someone requests help.. I use the mobile website every now and again but having a app that would stay logged in and be about to quickly view something would be a plus.

Thanks for the warning about you going on vacation. :) I look forward to your Youtube videos every week and I would have been worried something happen! @Ylianst.

I do not know how to code; I wouldn’t be of any use to attempt to help but I searched iOS MeshCentral app and it led me here.

There are a lot us that would appreciate this. :-)

DarkxPunk commented 1 year ago

It would be great to see eventually. Frankly the web interface on iOS is largely unusable. Can’t drag windows, scaling is all wrong. I may look into it at some point from a styling perspective to see if I can resolve it, but yeah an app would probably be much easier to fix that stuff.

Any decision or traction on this? Would be great to see all MC managed devices on an iOS device, and be able to get statistics and perform remote management tasks on them... Thanks!

dinger1986 commented 1 year ago

You can already with a web browser.

I'd be surprised if any large features are introduced now since Intel pulled funding.

silversword411 commented 1 year ago

Start a gofund me...probably $20,000+ will get a developer with the skills interested. Hire a developer and commit the code back to the repo.

Probably about the only way it's going to happen.

We had a meeting today with a handful of MeshCentral devs. This is a desired feature, and we are looking for someone with experience with iOS apps to coach our developers. Please reach out to me if you can help.

SemoTech commented 4 months ago

Thats great news @marclaporte, and while I am not a developer, I do have interface design experience as well as project management and testing experience, so I am happy to provide insights into the design as well as beta test.

That seems to just be an API for replaying video from a screen in MacOS and iOS...
