ent Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Updated the app. For iOS users: Install TestFlight: https://apps.apple.com/app/testflight/id899247664 Then open that link on your iOS device: https://testflight.apple.com/join/5HSqhVHw For Android users: Install directly from APK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptx301a1pas39n9/com.vlbor.jkchat.apk?dl=1 Install from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlbor.jkchat Added:- added UTF-8 support for messages: send emojis or any symbol from any language (Jedi Academy only)- added a possibility to open a link from chat message- added a possibility to copy a message with a long click- added informative notification that shows how many servers you are connected to and how many unread messages are there - added timestamps next to messages - added new dialog window animations for appearing and disappearing - added new chat page animations for opening and closing on Android Fixed: - fixed inability to interact with dialog window when it was covered by keyboard on small screens on iOS - fixed missing animation for send button disappearing on iOS - fixed undefined behavior when the app was restored after being killed by the system on Android Also I released a few recordings of making of the app: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbmJPIOxh7XwRiUUTSxjNCgmmMs1k9or6 After trying the application, please, leave a feedback of what you'd like see in the future. Yes, you can request any feature you want. It's not necessarily to be only limited to chat, I could implement other game features. Probably everything is possible that doesn't require game assets. Also if you encounter any error, then please report me either in the feedback form in TestFlight or in this JKHub post or in JKHub PM or on discord PM: ent#9404. Report the error either by copying it or taking a screenshot and showing me or just telling the steps to reproduce. Circa likes this Link to comment
ent Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Made one more hotfix with a few additions. Fixed crash when someone sends a voice command in any team game type in JA. Fixed weird loading indicator appearance from the top on iOS when navigating to chat page. Added a possibility to restore the app on Android even if the system killed the app. The app restores in 99% cases. Added a "Disconnect" button to the foreground service notification on Android. Redownload the update. Links are the same. Link to comment

Circa Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Getting constant crashing on iOS. It comes up with choosing a name and then crashes. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it but still does the same thing. iPhone 13 Pro iOS 15.1.1 app version 1.0 (16) ent likes this Link to comment
ent Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Thanks for the report. You are not alone with that. Investigating. Also GG Google. Removed the app in public beta test for breaking some rules. Gonna fix that as well. Circa likes this Link to comment
ent Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Fixed the iOS version. You may download the updated version. Links are the same. Additionally to the crash there were some critical visual issues like black navigation bar and wrong offset chat. Using this thread as a psychotherapist: Fuck Apple with their backward incompatibility. Simple code becomes overcomplex: iOS: fixed app appearance on iOS 15 · entdark/JKChat@cc907d4 (github.com) Started to discuss the app removal with Google as well. They are not hurrying to reply. For now download the Android version from Dropbox. Circa likes this Link to comment
ent Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 JKChat won't be available for some time on Google Play since the app does not respect some rules of the store. Particularly that thing is violated: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9876937?hl=en So all server names, all chat messages are UGC and can contain objectionable texts. So I have to add some kind of reporting/hiding option to protect snowflakes from the evil internet. C'est la vie. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I am not sure when I get some extra time to please Google as it's not high priority. Use Dropbox only for now. Link to comment
Circa Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I wonder if Google Play has a TestFlight equivalent? Something to use to avoid the app store approval process. At least installing outside the store is still a viable option though. Link to comment

ent Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Hello. The app is back to Google Play. I added reporting system to Android as Google demanded. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlbor.jkchat As bonus: fancy effects when clicking on servers and messages and Quake III Arena servers experimental support.
