Android – latest update
A smaller Android update is almost ready. There are a few changes in this release: the menu drawer now overlays the top, ‘View Admin’ was removed from the sidebar and moved to Settings, there are new graphics for xhdpi devices (like the Galaxy S4), and the post editor now saves local drafts a little differently by pressing the back button and then prompting the user (before you had to change the status yourself).
Android – NUX
Mostly on hold since we’re discussing ways we can make the NUX better by showing real user posts as a part of the onboarding flow. Need to figure out what’s happening here, post coming so we can discuss.
iOS status
Some bugs were fixed based on user feedback in the forums. The WordPress.com Native Reader iteration is still ongoing, there’s been a lot of testing/fixing. Optimistically we should be able to open it up before the end of this week.
We briefly talked about what should come next for the iOS app, some ideas thrown out were:
- Reader
- Notifications
- Visual Editor
- iOS 7 preparation
Mobile Handbook status
The Mobile Handbook is in need of some serious work, especially in some areas. Rachel has started to look into the state of it and everyone is urged to take a look ASAP. We’ve all been busy but it’s time to make progress on the todo list and also make sure that the content that is already there is current.
GitHub migration
Last week we talked about moving the WP app’s Git repos from WordPress-Mobile to the Foundation’s GitHub account (discussion here). So far everyone seems favorable of the idea, but please share any thoughts. We’re also hoping to get a new, more stable subgit version and some git.wp.org changes (may be as early as by the end of this month).
Next week
The next dev chat will be on July 17, 2013 at 15:00 UTC. Mark your calendar and join us in #wordpress-mobile on Freenode.
