[sword-devel] iOS Testing - Bishop

Tue Jun 25 03:37:14 EDT 2019

Troy,
When selecting a searched verse, the bottom of the screen now displays correctly.
The selected verse is still partially hidden underneath the heading.when tapping the screen, the heading disappears and the verse is displayed.
Testing on a 9” iPad.
Regards,
Johan Marais

When I tap on the screen though, the heading is hidden and the verse displays. The bottom part of the screen also displays the rest of the chapter.

Generally, we are interested if it works. :)  One issue we've had on iOS in the past is that momentum scrolling wasn't sending scroll events during scrolling, but only after scrolling completely finished.  This was making it difficult to select a verse by scrolling the main Bible text view, or to select a word by scrolling the right half of the screen in the Language Assist view, as the highlighting only happened after scrolling completely stopped moving.  It would be great to hear if this has been improved in this latest build.  Other developers have complained about this and have a few different work arounds, but they also say it is fixed in later versions of iOS, so I am not sure we need to do anything now.  I would also like to know what versions of iOS we can install on, so please report if you are using an earlier or later version of iOS which hasn't yet been reported-- no need if someone has already mentioned your version.  I might be able to build things for older iOS phones by changing a few build settings, but I would like to hear if this is necessary.
