Anyone else get the app hanging on the logo?

Hey! Can you provide some more details on your issue? For example, do you have local notifications turned on?

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Hey. I believe I have notifications turned off. After updating via testflight, the app just hangs on the logo splash when opening it. I tried restarting my phone and it still gets stuck. I'm on an iPhone 12 Pro Max running IOS 17.3.1.

[-] darklightxi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Hmm, that’s weird. I’m using iOS 17.3.1 and have no issues at the moment.

Do you have your Thunder settings exported? It could be an issue with conflicting Thunder settings from the update.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Unfortunately I do not have my settings exported, so I don't really have anything to work with. Do you think I should re-install?

[-] darklightxi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

If it’s not too much of a hassle, try reinstalling and see if that fixes the issue! Thanks!

[-] darklightxi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Just an update on this, the issue has been found and I'm working on a quick hotfix for this issue. If you'd like to track the issue, check it out here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1123

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

That was fast! Thanks for looking into it. I haven't had the chance to re-install yet, so I might just wait for the hotfix.

[-] darklightxi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

A hotfix should now be available on TestFlight! Let me know if that version works

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

It works now! Glad I didn't re-install yet. I'll definitely export my settings now. Thanks!

It says it's built with Flutter. I follow the link to learn about Flutter. It appears to be a web page that hangs due to tracking garbage that is blocked by my adblockers. I fire up the non-blocked browser that I use when I really want to see such content (I usually just close the browser tab) and it says that Flutter is made by Google. Oh, now it makes sense.
