Search function is a great idea!

I think the best way to do that would be to add a search plugin to the backend drupal site and then open up an API endpoint for us to send search parameters to. Especially if it's desired for the web site. I'm not sure which plugins are out there. Perhaps our site admins have some ideas?

moin moin,

since it does badge scanning, it will need camera access.

It does badge scanning? For attendees to scan badges from other attendees?

it might need microphone access if it had a pane for search input.  but i
don't see a search feature.  that would be extremely useful, as we have 150
booths and hundreds of talks.

Having a search mechanism would be great. Same for the web site :).

moin moin Derek,

Looking forward to having an app for SCaLE17x. Is there a possibility of
getting it into F-Droid?

Also, why does it need precise location, microphone and camera access?

ciao,

Ilan,

Sorry about the delayed reply, I've been dealing with some issues with

one of

my clients and it has been an absolute drain on my energy.

Things are going well with the app though. I'm just about done updating

the

urls and image resources for the 17x moniker, and I'll be uploading the
updated app to the stores soon.

What would be really awesome is if you could install the app on your

phone

and test it out before I upload the updates to the stores. Obviously,

the

data will be from 16x but we haven't changed any of the features so you
should be able to use it just the same. Any feedback you give can be
integrated into the update I'll send.

I think the main thing I need to know is what work we need to do for it

to be

acceptable for the conference. If there are any features that you want

to

add, we definitely have time to work on them. If there are any bugs you

find,

we have time to fix them. I'd love to get an email from you soon that

says

the app is good enough to use this year.

Whatever we need to do to get this year to be the first year SCaLE has

it's

own app, I'm down to get it done. I just need your feedback.

Hi Derek, Hows the app coming along? Need any help from us?

As far as I know, there isn't a legal way to bypass the app store for
apple. android will allow you to do it, but with ios you'd need to
jailbreak your phone or "sideload" the app from another device. For
Android the users would have to set their devices to allow

unauthorized

apps, which I don't think anyone would be willing to do, and we would

have

to set up some backend download endpoint for he apk.

It looks like we could possibly contact apple directly (and probably
google too) to expedite a review. We may be able to make a case that

we

want to push immediate updates for the conference. But really, I think

if

we got some people testing it over the next couple months we should be
fine.

Currently, the URLs are baked into the app, but they don't have to

stay

that way. There's a bunch of ways we could probably do it since they

are

just strings in the source code. You're welcome to work on it. If you

send

me your github handle, I can add you as a dev on the project.

Hi Derek,

Do the urls have to be baked into the IPA? Also, can we push the ipa
outside of the store, so we can avoid Apple store?

Hi Derek,

I added an announcement about KubeFlow day.

Ilan,

I changed all of the urls and they look like they are working just

fine!

I'm also in the process of editing the image resources to reflect

the

new 17x as well.

Can you add some announcements to the backend for 17x? We'll need

some

sample announcements that don't contain the words "sample", "demo",
"test" or anything like that (apple will reject the app if we use

those

kinds of words). Or if you want to give me access to the backend I

can

do it, whatever you feel comfortable with. I would recommend that

you

just copy the text from some tweets or facebook posts. It would be

real

announcements that apple probably wouldn't have a problem with.

Once we have some announcements in there and I've edited the image
resources, I should be able to deploy to the app stores and have the

17x

ready to install/update in couple days time. I will also update the

app

store graphics and screen shots with the 17x moniker.

In my experience, it can take around 48 hours for updates to be

approved

by the app stores, so we want to make sure that we get as much

testing

done as soon as we can so that we have time to fix bugs and make
updates. Once the conference starts, we probably won't be able to

get

app updates to the users before the end.

Thanks Derek. .What urls did you use for 16x? Can we just change the
path to 17x?

All,

Last year we started working on a mobile app to replace guidebook.

We

got most of the way there, but didn't quite make it in time to be

used

for the conference. We'd love to see this app used this year so

we're

reaching out for your help to get it up and running. We're looking

for

people to test the app, develop features, find and report bugs, and

work

on backend features.

the app can be installed on both Android, iOS, and all desktop OS's:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.knowikiapps.SCaLE

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scale-conference/id1340573731

https://github.com/KnowikiApps/scale-conf-app

Currently the app is configured for 16x, but we just need the

backend

API endpoints for 17x and that will be fixed. So if you're the site
admin send us the endpoint URLs please!

If you're interested in contributing to the project as a tester,
developer, or designer let us know.

Best,
