@peertube very frustrating that the first priority here wasn’t making it possible to log into an instance, or at least manually add your favorites. Trying to be optimistic here but this preview is unusable for me (literally none of the instances I watch videos from are here), and seems like it’s taking a very “walled garden” approach that feels antithetical to the whole point of the federated net

@peertube is there a timeline for an iOS version as well?

@engiqueering You mean an "unlocked" app on iOS?

@peertube yes, will the unlocked iOS version come out alongside the unlocked android version?

@engiqueering Is there an alternative store on iOS like F-Droid for Android? (I'm not the dev of the application, so I'm not an expert of the iOS ecosystem :) )

@peertube No, apple devices are required to use the managed app store, however an iOS app was promised last year (https://joinpeertube.org/news/peertube-future-2024)

I know several people who *want* to use peertube regularly, but the lack of a mobile app is a barrier to entry. Currently there *no* iOS peertube client but several Android ones (Thorium, P2Play, etc), it is a serious problem for adoption that half the mobile market has no native app

@engiqueering Sorry I misunderstood you. Yes, the iOS version of the app is planned and we already have a working beta (as you can see on https://framaforms.org/peertube-mobile-application-release-candidate-1731599644). We're currently experiencing issues with the App Store validation unfortunately...

@peertube I've been working with the beta and have very much been enjoying it. I hope you get the App Store validation resolved, I'm glad to know the full iOS release is still in the works
