Hello everyone!
The Wikipedia for Android app has been released on Google Play, to generally very positive reviews. Thanks to everyone for helping test it!
Pre-release testing of the Wikipedia for iOS app found a bunch of bugs, which we've fixed. However, the fix necessitated an upgrade of our underlying Platform (PhoneGap) from 1.4.1 to 1.7. This is a reasonably big change, and would be awesome if you guys could spare a few minutes and test it out.
Instructions on installing this on your device:
If you have already given us your Device's UDID (yay!) it is much simpler: 1. Download http://dumps.wikimedia.org/iOS/Wikipedia-iOS-3.2RC4.ipa toyour computer 2. Connect your iOS device to the computer 3. Open iTunes 4. Drag the IPA to the 'Apps' section of your device 5. Sync
If your device's UDID has not been added, please email me or tfinc@wikimedia.org and we'll add it for you. Instructions on finding your UDID here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/How_to_start_beta_testing_iOS...
Major things to test:
1. Saved pages persist across app restarts. Save Page, Force close the app (not just minimize it (https://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137)) and open app again -> saved pages list is not empty. 2. Sharing via Facebook. First time you'd be asked to log in, and depending on your OS version might have to hit share again. 3. Sharing via Twitter - only on iOS5+ 4. Opening external links - should open fine in Safari 5. Scrolling - on articles large and small. 6. Upgrade testing. This tests the 'Upgrade' process from an older version of the app to the newer version, so that saved pages are migrated properly.http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Pre_launch_checklist#On_iOS has instructions on how to do this.
Thanks for your help!
