Join the trunks for Mastodon beta

Available on iOS

@trunksapp unfortunately the first app where the login doesn’t work.
trunks.social (@[email protected])

Attached: 2 images @lscottspencer Ah, the automatic verified links failed for you for some reason. Try manually verifying it in settings under open by default.

@sys4tron Can you also provide details on what phone your seeing failures on?
@trunksapp I’m using a iPhone 14 pro with iOS 16.3
@sys4tron Ah, it must be looking for the asset links in a different location. Let me update the server.
@sys4tron I just updated the records on the server, you might have to uninstall/reinstall to see the effects.
@trunksapp i reinstalled from TestFlight, but still the same error. 🤔

@sys4tron Might be a propagation issue with DNS.

Shows good result. I'll keep debugging.

@sys4tron Also just verified on an ipad with 16.2 - maybe it's a 16.3 issue? I'll update and see whats up.
@trunksapp on my iPad with iOS 16.0 it’s also working. So I can try trunks on that device for now. 😊
@sys4tron Apologies for that. I'll figure out what's up tomorrow! hope you enjoy it!
@trunksapp it seems it took some time to do the magic that was needed. Trunks now works on my iPhone. Thank you for your support. 🥃🤘🏻
@sys4tron @trunksapp I see the same issue on my #iPhone 12 Pro running #iOS 16.3

Infosec Exchange
@trunksapp I saw that at the end of the thread and it offered no other explanation other than “it eventually started working for some reason.”
@mjgardner Yeah I apologize there's no rhyme or reason to why apple is inconsistently verifying the domain and I'm a bit in the dark myself. Try rebooting the device to force the universal links synchronization?

@trunksapp That did it, thanks.

But if I may ask—why does it need to phone home to trunks.social in the first place to log in to my Mastodon server?

@mjgardner Oauth redirection
@trunksapp You should be registering a universal link (iOS) or app link (Android) and redirecting to that instead per the spec: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8252#section-6
RFC 8252: OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps

@mjgardner that's what this process is. Those mechanisms require site association and validation.

@sys4tron @trunksapp

Same here. Wasn't sure if 2FA is an issue.

@trunksapp I am testing it right now. Nice job on UX/UI. The one thing I miss from IceCubes is the ability to browse other instances public timeline, which is very very useful to discover content from a tiny instance, such as mine.
@trunksapp please excuse the Dutch error message, but it basically says the "Something went wrong" when I am trying to download the Beta version from the play store :/
@SuitedUpDev @trunksapp yes, I'm seeing the same. Would love an f-droid version.
@trunksapp I tried to use it and after hitting authorize I get this
@trunksapp The beta link does not work. I get always an error occured.
@chrisonline Apologies, country restricted as I slowly roll out things.

@trunksapp

404 not found, is it country restricted?

@jonathandhn Yes, slow rolling access to other countries so i can work through privacy requirements.
@trunksapp Just started it up and oh my, this looks so good on my Z Fold 3. Beautiful UI!
@trunksapp
So far it's pretty snappy! I'll run it thru the wringer the next few days.
@trunksapp I know it's beta, but all I see after authorization is empty white page :(
@trunksapp Thanks for the suggestion 👍 I've tried a few...all seem to have something different slightly broken lol so you never know 😅
@trunksapp Not managing to log in to mastodon.scot. The “Login” button remains greyed out and unresponsive
@uisge Try removing any trailing spaces on the domain.
@trunksapp The app was an older beta. Updating it seems to have been the solution. I now have access 
@trunksapp checking out the android version. Still haven't found an android version I'm completely happy with
@trunksapp Looking extremely promising already! There's a lot of things I like about the Android version and I'm looking forward to see it get even better as time goes on. There's just one small thing... 😉
@trunksapp @ewdocparris My first impression of Trunks is that I really like the appearance ... different enough in detail yet similar enough in layout that I'm enjoying it a lot. So far, no usage problems.
@trunksapp are you going to put in an option to follow the device theme for light and dark mode?
@trunksapp thank you for the quick reply, I’ll give both Android and iOS versions a try but early indications are good 👍🏻
@SteveyAsp I’ve also noticed that the alert at the bottom didn’t seem to disappear automatically
@trunksapp Yay! Finally something new for Android!
@trunksapp Got this error when authorizing access to my account.

@trunksapp I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled and same error. Then, I changed my default browser, and problem fixed.
@trunksapp very nice app guy’s 👏
My wish for next update is: save last read position in timeline and load new toots above last position 🙏
@trunksapp @ramesh if it works I will give it a go on my Pixels as the only client I enjoy over there is Megalodon whereas over here on iOS I have Ivory
@Harp @trunksapp It's working great on Pixel. Try it, Harp.
@ramesh @trunksapp will give it a shot as so far the only one I like is mega
@ramesh @trunksapp did try it but prefer Megalodon 🤓
@trunksapp I will try! iOS
@trunksapp same thing… iOS. I will wait till it’s fixed!

@grumpygrumpyowl Ah, you actually just need to put "better.boston" in that field, but you just made realize I need to support people also putting their full user[at]domain!

Thank you!

@trunksapp @grumpygrumpyowl I had the exact same source of confusion when trying out my first Mastodon app, Tusky. It seems to be a common pattern among apps that users have to stumble over once -- but then you learn from it and remember it for the next time!

However, being able to enter your full address & reducing a 2 step process to 1 would be a UX improvement! (Unless there's some security benefit to be gained by taking the username & domain separately.)
