Several years ago, I made an app for this community that worked on iOS devices. At the time, I used a tool called Titanium to create it and have since then moved to all native app development. Apple notified me a few weeks ago that they are purging all apps from the App Store that have not been updated in 3 years, which includes the SDK Community app. Once purged, the app will not longer be listed but will remain available to re-download for anyone who already has it. While I have been modernizing a few others apps that were in the same situation, I have been trying to decide what to do with this app, so I have a few questions:

* How many of you still use the app, either the “Free” or the “Pro” versions?
* If I was to remake the app, should it have the same functionality as beforehand or envelop the newer HullBreach Studios IPs?
* Should I just let this app go and create a completely new HullBreach Studios one that includes elements of this community?

Sorry if I am off-topic. If there was an Android app for drawing and rating pictures, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Anyone is welcome to make an Android app. I created a Group a few years ago that publishes the API. Let me know if anyone is interested.

As what GEMini GUARDian said. Your issue is not with the iOS app, your issue is that this website is dead. You should worry more about advertisement and optimization before worrying about the iOS app.

The biggest cause of it being dead would probably be the register bug. About 19/20 created accounts are never activated because the activation e-mail isn't sent. I see legitimate accounts being made all the time, but they get deleted after a certain amount of time because they were never confirmed.

The emails are always sent, but Google flags them as spam for Gmail accounts. I’ve helped people on numerous cases on Twitter who have encountered this.

Ohh, I see. Any way to prevent that?

I’ve decided that I’m going to live immediate limited access to accounts upon registration and unlock other features after verifying the email address. That way, a member will have the opportunity to either resend the verification email or change the email address. I hope to have that all in place today.

After purging obvious bot registrations, there were 16 unverified accounts. I manually marked them all as verified.

Over the recent months, or just the last week or so?

Honestly, I'd say the app isn't as needed when barely anyone even comes onto SDK. Maybe let it go and focus solely on fixing bugs/glitches on the actual website instead of trying to do anything with the app? And I come onto this website using a DSi, so it wouldn't affect me, or possibly even other 3DS/DSi only users here.

Since the app didn't come out on the better OS (android... 😁) I would say let Apple pull the app.

On a serious note, wouldn't both options eventually lead to similar things? Only issue is, the app needs a design rehaul and further development work to be feasible. Both of which you may or may not have time for. I would suggest the latter, pull elements of all of your work to one place and ditch the app. It'll probably make it easier to manage/develop in the long run.

I haven't used the app in a couple of years, so I personally wouldn't mind if you let it go. I think it would be really cool to see a new HullBreach Studios community, though.

The app is missing some key features that make it kind of tedious to use over 3DSPaint.com, which works perfectly on mobile. I say just let it go.
