I am back to the development: Expect new streams and the app updates soon. And while you are waiting there are some recordings of the development as a YouTube playlist:

Also I opened the source code: https://github.com/entdark/JKChat

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.

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.

Hello. I opened the source code of JKClient: https://github.com/entdark/JKClient That source is a skeleton for JKChat mobile application (that source I am going to open later). That client is a rewritten JA and JO engines code that doesn't require game assets yet still can let you to connect to game servers. The client is written on C#. Why C# - you may ask? Since it's a special library that targets .NET Standard 2.1 then it can be compiled once and ran on many OSs. That library can be ran on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and others. If I chose to make the assetsless client on C or C++ then every OS and every CPU architecture would require a separate compilation for every OS and architecture. Where could it be useful? At first, JKChat that I am currently developing: At second: you can create a Discord bot using this client to interact with players from your Discord server and game server by using: https://github.com/discord-net/Discord.Net Feel free to use the client however you want. I'd appreciate if you leave any feedback, give suggestions or create an issue on GitHub.

One more hotfix for both Android and iOS. Fixed getting an error on JO servers when sending a message with non-ASCII characters. And new experimental feature for iOS: endless background execution. That is achieved by using GPS tracking. You have to grant a permission to the app to use location updates "Always". If you denied the permission or only granted "When in use" but want to let the app always stay in background anyways, then enable "Always" in Settings -> JKChat.iOS -> Geolocation. Location is not actually tracked, if you care about privacy. It's only requested to be updated on background so it keeps the app alive all the time. Of course, if you do not want the app to execute on background then deny that permission and use the app same as before. Links are the same.

Made a hotfix for iOS for invisible text in input field. Check TestFlight for an update.

IMPORTANT note for those who download from Google Play Store: if you have never downloaded the app or uninstalled it previously, then after installing, it will offer you to update the app. So make sure to not leave the Google Play Store app page and update the app after initial installation.

IMPORTANT: I hear all your suggestions, guys, but as I told earlier, some features require new UI and it's still in development. Be patient, please.

Made one more hotfix, but for Android only. Links are the same. Fixed: - annoying frequent sounds from notification - blank server print messages - crashes on old devices Added: - disconnect from all the servers on app minimizing with Back button (foreground notification disappears) - disconnect from all the servers on app closing/swiping from the Recents screen (foreground notification disappears) For both Android and iOS: if you want to manually disconnect from certain server, just type "/disconnect" (without quotes) there.

Made a hotfix for inability to connect to passworded servers. Redownload from the same links.

New features are upcoming: jk2 servers support - done server commands - done refreshing server list - done background execution - implemeting Fixed some bugs (especially for often crashing iOS) and made some improvements - thanks for reports. Expect a new version very soon.

I did. No dates yet.

I understand and cannot help with it. Sorry. Currently putting any effort into making special protocol for mobile clients is not considered.
