Need help maintaining this, any volunteers?

[daveverwer]

I don't have a huge amount of time to maintain this project. Anyone up for helping on a more permanent basis?

@zwaldowski @kenji21 @CraigSiemens maybe? Since you've all submitted PRs with core upgrades for new OS versions in the past.

Hi dave,

Thanks for thinking to me, I don't know if I'll also have enought time to maintain this. iOS 10 will be out shortly, and I didn't have any time to test Xcode 8... maybe "co-maintaining" can be a solution ?

Hi @daveverwer,

Do you have any precise feature to develop in mind ?

[daveverwer]

No, just maintenance and the inevitable changes that are needed every time a new major version of iOS comes out in beta/release.

[ZevEisenberg]

@daveverwer what's involved in maintenance? Do you have any guide for how to develop a version that works against the latest iOS? It's all pretty mystical to me, and if there were some kind of "setting started" guide, I or others may be more likely to contribute.

[daveverwer]

There's nothing written up at the moment... Basically it's a matter of extracting the new struct and figuring out if anything has changed and testing it with the new simulators etc...

It's a good idea though, I'll have a go at writing a guide when the iOS 12 beta appears in June.

So far so good, this's really an awesome framework, appreciate it! 👍

Do hope Xcode team could also expose a way to achieve such setting in the future (the QuickTime team did a great job on recording movie from real device).

I will be happy to help. Since iOS 12 public beta is out - has someone tried if everything works as expected there?

[daveverwer]

There was already a pull request for iOS 12 that @cysp kindly contributed which worked on beta 1.

I just tried to check that still worked on b4 and I'm getting a unicode error in one of the localisation files when building which is weird. I don't have time to look at it now. However, if you can reproduce that it'd be great to get that fixed!

error: could not decode input file using specified encoding: Unicode (UTF-8)

Just deleted my DerivedData and I still get it, so it's maybe an issue with b4?

[cysp]

Hm. That strings file isn't encoded with utf-8, it's utf-16 with a BOM. Perhaps Xcode has become less forgiving of that? Xcode 9.4 appears to run the same command and succeeds. ¯\(ツ)/¯ Here's a PR that sets the correct encoding in the project file: https://github.com/shinydevelopment/SimulatorStatusMagic/pull/65 😁

Interestingly, the "English" strings file alongside that one (which is not referenced by the project) actually has German text in it.

[daveverwer]

👍

We should get rid of that "English" strings file too. 😄
