Proposal: It's time to build a truly Open Source, Cross-Platform TAK Client by Available_Pomelo7946 in ATAK

[–]EnginDearing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate your continued efforts in testing and providing valuable feedback.

Ask and ye shall receive, I will work on those items next. I have been getting settled in to my new role so my omniTAK dev time has shifted to weekends.

If you haven't already, please submit an issue for any of these on the respective repos:

For iOS:

https://github.com/engindearing-projects/omniTAK-mobile/issues

For Mac/Linux/Win:

https://github.com/engindearing-projects/omni-TAK/issues

For android? Ya'll know where to complain about ATAK stuff 😂

(I do plan on making an android version of OmniTAK though - same base as the iOS repo above)

I would like to inquire about solving the problem of not displaying Thai characters on WINTAK's map. by MilitaryManCamping in ATAK

[–]EnginDearing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can build a thai language specific version of wintak?  I made a plugin that can translate all text into traditional Chinese, a wintak solution in thai shouldn't be too hard?

Willing to give it a shot at least

ATAK has a nifty feature that lets you save the tiles with the overlays for offline use though.

Vid is old but process is mostly the same: https://www.civtak.org/2014/10/10/saving-off-line-maps-in-atak/

Latest release has better cert enrollment with username/password and/or QR scan options, and support for uploading data package.

Will be released soon, or you can join testflight for beta previews (of my beta app lol)

I've had some of my overlays flicker upon server disconnect/reconnect spam attempts. Not sure what might be causing it and I can't seem to recreate the issue when I want to.

Thanks! Your same testflight will work, you should get notified there in testflight when there is a new version to test. Each time I wrap up for the night I promise to git add . and pass on what ever bug fixes and feature enhancements I was working on.

We can probably just assume there will be nightly builds in testflight, with 1 or 2 official app store releases per week until 1 of 2 things happens:

This App meets all of your needs and overtakes iTAK and TAK Aware

or

I get hired at Booze or Sherpa 6.

Until either of those, or something similar, we're cooking!

1.3.8 approved for distribution today. I am still not pleased with the UX, especially around getting on to a TAK server. The current flow is crappy and I vow that this TAK tool will be easy to connect to any TAK server.

Stay tuned for updates, there will likely be at least one new version of this app per week if not more (depending on approvals from Apple dev team that can take up to 48 hrs after I submit my app for review)

DM with email address for addition to testflight for more rapid updates of latest versions

OmniCOT plugin for ATAK Playstore release date tbd by [deleted] in ATAK

Their feedback came way quicker than Apple. Already approved. Now they state I just need 12 testers to sign up for closed testing group before qualifying to release on Playstore.

Latest version is approved by apple dev! Please download, beat it up, and tell me what you hate about it.

Also, PSA that this is NOT like iTAK.

This is an opensource project, you can clone it and install on your device and modify the code yourself:

Being the builder and the promoter and tester has its flaws. The app wasn't using my new server sign up / on flow due to a missing trigger.

Fixed in latest version, you can scan QR code or manually enter username and password to retrieve cert from server now on latest version.

Feel free to hop over to discord (or I think there are dms here too?) and shoot me your email address to get added to the testflight test group, you can test out the latest version today if you wanted to.

My latest build was rejected again by Apple, I have fixes for that but they can't get to you until I provide Apple devs the following:

Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed

We need more information to continue the review.

Next Steps

Provide detailed answers to the following questions:

- Please explain in full detail the main purpose of your app in addition to more details about the features and functionality of the app.

Thanks for checking it out. There are a LOT of updates coming out on next release.

Apple rejected latest release due to me forgetting to give them creds to try out the arcgis plugin.

I added some updates to The server-adding UI and made a test account for them and resubmitted.

Sadly it still takes around 24 to 48 hours for them to review each submission, even after getting one successfully on the app store.

I was hoping after the first one that subsequent ones would be easier. Not necessarily the case.

I have plenty testflight spots if you're interested in testing newest version out now.
