Help for contributors: signing into the app within the iOS simulator #54

Closed paulrobertlloyd closed 1 year ago

paulrobertlloyd commented 1 year ago

Given I’ve filed a few bugs, I’d like to test some possible fixes. I’ve cloned the repo, installed all the dependencies and got the app running in the Simulator… and now I need to sign in to the app.

Is there a way to set up the project for local development where authentication can be provided outside of the app? Otherwise, how can I sign into the app using a verification link sent by email?

Good question, it is tricky to test completely separate from Micro.blog right now without running your own copy of the web app, which isn't open source yet.

@paulrobertlloyd – if you enter the email address you want to sign in with, it will send you an email (obviously 😅) – that contains a link you can copy and paste into Safari on the Simulator and it should just work.

Oh and I forgot to mention that you can always sign in using an app token, that you can find on your account page on the website – just copy and paste it and it'll work in the email field (in the app).
