The only complaint I recall was the date on the files being set to Unix timestamp of 0, but nothing related to the actual execution of them. If there's an outstanding issue with them, please let me know. I had moved on to trying to build a version with native Windows on Arm support.

There are several good toolkits already out there that can produce very serviceable mobile apps. Ezra is built, I believe, on Apache's Cordova and already works very well across a variety of screen sizes. I've used it on desktop and on my phone. And it even adapts well between my phone in narrow mode and in foldable mode (I have a Pixel 9 Pro Fold), properly using the extra screen real estate that it gains in open mode. Thus, an iOS build of it could probably be produced as well as an iPadOS version that adapts well. I don't think a version is currently being built for iOS but I think that's just a limitation of the developer not using or having Mac devices. --Greg On Mon, Jan 13, 2025 at 8:57?PM Kahunapule Michael Johnson < kahunapule at ebible.org> wrote: > I discussed this with a volunteer developer, today.

The app is not deleted, just made private, I am still working on the app and initially targeting Android and iOS. I made it private because there is a lot to do and don't plan to release it for a while, so I wanted to avoid the possibility of people ripping it off with ads. This app is a bit different to apps like Pocket Sword as I am targeting people like my daughters, so it will hopefully be simpler and prettier, but there could be a variant that would be more sophisticated.

Cyrille mentions, Bishop is available on iOS. Bishop builds Swift wrappers around the SWORD C++ engine and uses those for delivery of the cordova plugin for the SWORD library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-crosswire-sword This should already make available the full SWORD engine to anyone wishing to write an iOS app in JavaScript/TypeScript. Bishop does this and compiles for both iOS and Android: https://crosswire.org/applications/#bishop It's not a bad starting point for continued development.? I use it each day for my daily reading and to show manuscript evidence to people when they doubt the historicity of Scripture. The Android version is one or two releases ahead of the iOS version simply because I don't keep active a macOS virtual machine around to build.? Would be nice to have something like that available for CI/CD.

Message-ID: Today I tried out Bishop in my iPad Mini 4, following the suggestion that I try Bishop in case we lose PocketSword forever. Aside: The KJV module was already installed, but it needed to be updated. Afterwards, I installed the Daily Devotional module MCheyne from the Xiphos repo. M'Cheyne's Bible Reading Calendar After selecting MCheyne, and seeing the four readings for Today, I discovered that clicking any of the links took me to Revelation 1:1 rather than the actual passage for today! Family Reading: Genesis 15 Family Reading: Matthew 14 Secret Reading: Nehemiah 4 Secret Reading: Acts 14 The links in mcheyne.dat are very simple! e.g. Genesis 15 i.e. They don't use OSIS XML constructs! cf. These MCheyne module links always work fine in PocketSword ! The only minor issue is when the passage is a [chapter] range. In that case, the passage selector ends up indicating the last chapter as having been selected, even though the screen displays the first chapter in the range. NB. Within Bishop, links in the Daily devotional module SME work properly. btw. Clicking such a link from MCheyne in Xiphos for Windows gives an error too! BUG! Xiphos is about to crash due to a STRDUP error. However, there's no means to select the error popup text in Xiphos. I have no recollection of testing this Daily Devotional module in Xiphos before today. It's conceivable that the issue has always been there. I mention this merely for comparison now that I'm reporting what happens in Bishop. Can Bishop be improved such that these simple ... links will work correctly?

I am fairly familiar with the PocketSword source code, having built it several times about 5 years ago. Even at the time, it was already in the realm of "legacy"; I could tell that it desperately needed to be ported over to Swift. Back then, Swift was not directly interoperable with C++. You had to use Objective-C bridging headers. However, that changed last year or so and now Swift is directly interoperable with C++. The best way forward, in my opinion, seems to be porting PocketSword from Objective C++ to Swift. Tools like Github Copilot or Swiftify could make this a breeze.

The only reason why Ezra Bible App is not available on iOS is my fear of the regular additional release / testing overhead. I even have iOS devices in the household. In general, it should be possible to build the app for iOS based on the frameworks/ technology I'm using. If someone is willing to take on the regular testing and release effort, I'd be glad to support the learning curve and any problem solving needed to get the initial build and integration job done. The other thing that may be required is the Apple developer license to support notarization. I have that to generate the macOS build, but it may be needed for every additional developer who wants to independently build a release binary. Best regards, Tobias Am 14.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Thanks Peter, I think that would require someone to develop a bespoke script to convert mcheyne.dat to OSIS XML, not only to properly structure it as XML, but also to accurately convert each ThML scripRef element to OSIS, taking account of the special cases where the reference is for a range (whether more than one whole chapter, or even including part of a chapter). btw. There are several other early DD modules which are still based on ThML scripRef elements. Some of these are found in the CrossWire repository. It's not only the Xiphos repository which contains modules that are quite old. Best regards, David Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email.
