(Community Question) - Has anyone complied and got this code working?

[mikegchambers]

I have managed to get the code running on an iOS device, but it's not working as expected.

As far as I can see I have all the dependencies (after al it compiles) but and I have updated all the Bundle Identifiers and changed them in the code.

When I run the app, it all looks like its working, the VPN is created and it connects, however no URLs that I test are blocked.

The logs are copious and the warnings and errors may not be relevant.

Just looking to see if anyone has this running?

I have made an attempt to deploy the app to an iOS device. But I also got stuck. I then discovered that the code contains an identifier several times (used is some strings). If you do search and replace in xcode, everything works.

Search for: "group.com.confirmed"

And replace with your own group identifier Hope it works ;-)

[mikegchambers]

Yes, as I say, I spotted them. There where a number of different bundle and group ids, including the iCloud container ID. I have changed all I found. I might scrap my attempt and have another try.

So I tried again. And I kept a 'live' notes log as I went. It seemed to be working in the end. This is what I did, maybe it will help someone else:

1. Cloned the repo
2. Ran 'pod install'
3. Ran 'carthage update --no-use-binaries --platform ios'
4. Xcode find and replace 'group.com.confimed' with 'group.com.[me]' then figured that I would have to:
5. Xcode find and replace 'com.confimed' with 'com.[me]'

   Some could be found but had to be replaced by hand for some reason.

6. Tested that find 'com.confirmed' within Workspace has no results.
7. Changed signing to my team for all the targets.
8. Ran 'fix issue' on Lockdown > Capabilities > Network Extensions (this also fixed Personal VPN)
9. Ran 'fix issue' on Today > Capabilities > Network Extensions (this also fixed Personal VPN)
10. Build and Run on device...
11. Build complete with 169 warnings, no errors.
12. App running in iOS, imediatly asks for me to 'Sign In to iTunes Store'. I do this.
13. Tap 'Get Started'
14. Select country ?? (I select Australia)
15. Tap Enable metrics and confirm.
16. Configure block list, turn on every list. As I do it asks to install VPN, I allow.

17. Asks again for me to 'Sign In to iTunes Store'. Which I do. The following log may have been before or after this step, sorry I didn't notice.

18. Notice that the VPN has activated.
19. As I try to set the lists to blocked, some lists start to appear twice in the list.
20. Add 'bbc.com' as an individual blocked domain. (As a test)

21. Asks AGAIN for me to 'Sign In to iTunes Store'. Which I do.

22. Press save on 'Configure Blocking'

23. Reports that Apple ID Verifaction Failed. (Did I type password incorrectly? Maybe)

24. Shows '8' requests blocked.

25. Open iOS Safari, and navigate to 'bbc.com'. Confirmed (pun noticed), it's blocked.

26. Navigate to another site (amazon.com). Confirmed its not blocked.

Test complete.

Issues I am facing:

• When using (my compiled version of the app) I am constantly asked to login to the 'iTunes Store' on my device.
• When trying to turn the 'Recommended by Lockdown' items on or off, it is not stable, and I end up with duplicate categories in the list. (Some on and some off)

[Bastiaantjuhh]

That's also how I did it. By the way I encounter exactly the same bugs, those from the iTunes login and the duplicate items bug

[Bastiaantjuhh]

Ohhhh and also (when adding a new list) that the text “ip ranges” appears very often on the screen. Otherwise a awesome app
