jbrodriguez Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 it was mostly a data driven decision: open the docker webui was barely used according to the analytics info, by a very large differential. Quote Link to comment

Slainor Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Updated to 5.0.5 didn’t test sleep yet but the docker detail page isn’t working. What does the discovery function do ? Since I’m unable to do anything with it other than seeing that there is a server. Quote Link to comment
jbrodriguez Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Thanks for the report ! It seems that the image wasn't bundled correctly. I'll release a fix in a moment. Quote Link to comment
jbrodriguez Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 RELEASE Version 5.0.6 - 2021-08-07 - Fix open icon not showing It should be available for android later today and for ios probably tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
jbrodriguez Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 I think I've figured out why sleep doesn't work, I'll probably push a release tomorrow to validate the fix. Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 @jbrodriguez I have another problem with the Android version of the app starting with v5. I Tried 5.0.2, 5.0.4 and yesterday v5.0.6. and none are even starting on my phone. Version 4.17 is still working fine, but let me explain a bit more that might help. My phone is a Pixel5 with the custom AOSP based ROM CalyxOS installed with MicroG services to gain some of the google features like push notifications and access to google services. I don't use any Google accounts on that phone and have no access to the play store directly on this phone. The account I baught your app with is still active and I have to use it on a temporary phone to download app updates for paid apps like yours, back them up and install the apk on my Pixel. This procedure worked flawless for me until v5. The temporary phone is an old Galaxy S3 and is only used for this and is off if I don't need an update. Paid Apps can't be updated with the build in F-Droid or Aurora store under CalyxOS and I'am fine with that. I only have 2 paid apps anyways. App version 4.17 installs fine and works without issues. App version 5 was the first one I coudn't use. Clearing cache of the old version, uninstall it, install newest version, so fine so good. As soon as I try to start your app, nothing happens. No error message, nothing. Is there a way I can help to diagnos the issues and make that app work again? I know I'am a special case, but it would be nice to have an up to date version of your app working again on my privacy friendly phone where everything is working except of your really helpful app, and btw. in which version did you removed the password/fingerprint lock option inside the app? This was a feature I requested some time ago and you implemented it back than 😔 Quote Link to comment

App version 5 was the first one I coudn't use Hi, I'm pretty sure the reason it that with v5, I've changed the publishing format to what Google considers the official publishing format going forward (https://developer.android.com/platform/technology/app-bundle). 3 hours ago, bastl said: in which version did you removed the password/fingerprint lock option inside the app? This was a feature I requested some time ago and you implemented it back than I don't remember myself implementing this feature. I'll check the code, but I can't think of when I did that. 4 hours ago, bastl said: I know I'am a special case It certainly is, looks like a very secure setup, although I'm not sure a workaround exists. The new format is exactly that: create an aab instead of an apk artifact. 😮 Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 1 hour ago, jbrodriguez said: publishing format So if I understand the new format correctly, as a developer delivering new updates is easier and smaller now. You kinda update only parts of the app. But on the enduser device your app still exists as an APK, right? I grabbed that APK and sideloaded it on my main phone and the install went fine. This doesn't explain, why the app won't launch. Did the app permissions changed compared to version 4? Is there a way to force the app to start in a debug mode so I can get some logs for you? Or do you have a test build for me with debug enabled? 1 hour ago, jbrodriguez said: I don't remember myself implementing this feature. i'am kinda relativly sure that feature existed. If not, see it as a feature request 😄 Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 @jbrodriguez I checked a couple other apps for backing up APKs and I found one which backed up all split APKs from that new format and on my main phone V5.0.6 is running now. Thanks for the hint with the new split file format 😘 What's with my feature request? Are you already on it? Just kidding 😂 Would be nice if in the future the app start can be protected by a passcode or via finger print. Quote Link to comment

Yes, that's something that should be easier now with the new code Quote Link to comment

jbrodriguez Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 RELEASE Version 5.0.7 - 2021-08-10 - Fix sleep command This should fix the issue with the sleep command. It should be available for android later today and for ios probably tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
Slainor Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Updated to the latest version, the Sleep function works thank you for that and somehow since the last update the docker page changed. Since then you can’t click on that docker anymore where the coming soon page was before. Quote Link to comment

Yes, that's right. The details/(coming soon) page was causing some noise, so I'll add it back when it's actually implemented Quote Link to comment

jbrodriguez Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hi, I just tried the app against a test 6.10.0-rc1 server and I'm able to connect/add the server. If you're unable to add a 6.10.0-rc1 to the ControlR app, is it possible that you're logged into unraid.net ? I'm not logged in, that's the only big difference I can think of right now.

jbrodriguez Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 There are some upcoming changes in the mobile app, but as far as I can tell, the latest version on the stores works with 6.10.x (latest rc) Quote Link to comment
SavageAUS Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I’m on unraid 6.10 RC2 and I cannot for the life of me add my server. The app finds it in discover I enter in my details ( http port 80 username and password ) and it just sits there and does nothing. Quote Link to comment

That's odd, I guess you're not running the plugin on the server, otherwise it would have filled out the port and protocol. Can you try setting protocol to https and port to 443, see if it makes a difference ? Quote Link to comment

jbrodriguez Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) ControlR 5.1.0 is rolling out to Apple and Google stores ! v5.1.0 - Next generation ControlR, with a streamlined and more functional user interface and completely re-architected to support even more greate features - Implementation of (experimental) qrcode scanner: it's now easier to add a server to your app The qrcode scanning is still a bit experimental becuase I only have a limited set of devices to test it on, but it worked for me. Also, note that I'll be running a #CyberMonday2021 40% off sale: pick it up for $2.99 this monday (Nov 29th) only ! Edited November 27, 2021 by jbrodriguez Quote Link to comment
