Thanks to everyone that gave feedback on the first testflight release (0.8.64). The new release (0.8.67) has these changes below. Still waiting on testflight approval for this new version but should be approved shortly and the current testers will be notified.

Added

• Kbin app icon
• There is a new logs section that will save errors when interacting with the Lemmy API. If you face a bug, it could be used to see exactly where the error is coming from. You could also share it using the sharesheet and I can take a look.

Fixed

• Many of you have raised that you were unable to login with custom instances. I've now added many more popular lemmy instances as a workaround. The bug fix for custom instances will be coming at a later date.
• Added optional values for some of the variables in the site data model as some instances do not for example, use regex filtering. This was causing login problems for some people and should now be fixed.
• Potentially fixed the crash caused by changing app icon. It doesn't seem to happen for me so I'm curios to see if it has been fixed.

Full Changelog: 0.8.64...0.8.67

Just making this community to keep you updated on the progress I'm making with Lunar.

At this stage, Lunar is still in its early stages of development. While it's not available on the App Store or TestFlight just yet, you can get it up and running using Xcode and a Mac (instructions on Github)

I can only dive into Lunar during evenings and weekends so not got much time to dedicate to it at the moment but in the spirit of open source collaboration I welcome you to contribute your feedback and ideas and to even raise pull requests (pls mind my jank code)

Hey! Just a quick update from me. I've created this new community to replace the lunar_for_lemmy_ios.

I decided to make a change because the old name, lunar_for_lemmy_ios, was a bit messy and hard to type. So, I've created a new community called "lunar" - short and sweet.

I'll be moving everything over shortly and I'll make sure to keep you all posted on the progress.
