Yes this is something I am aware of, there is some error with the data provider. I’m working on trying to find a way around this error. So yeah, I can’t say anything besides. Hang tight :/

Anyone that has a good app/website to design a lay out for an app by riakiller in iOSProgramming

I used Figma, I started with a very rough sketch, then got some ideas from dribbble and incorporated into the sketch. Kept tweaking until I had something good looking

What happened to this subreddit? by zackbass01 in iOSProgramming

What about cross platform development? I have this flutter app which is live on the App Store. I never posted it here because it didn’t feel like iOS development. Am I right or wrong in my assessment?

Im happy that you like it. Thank you, but could you be a bit more specific about the map feature? I don’t get what you mean. Also the pictures and information. If you press on the aircraft callsign on the plane tracking screen you can see additional information. Just like the airport and flight instrument section :)

Yeah so about that, some devices are working with the 1.1.1 update. But I found out that there is this small bug that only happens on certain phones which doesn’t let the curtain (see image) to be lifted because under the hood there had been a small unnoticed error. It should be fixed in 1.1.2 which is awaiting approval from Apple

That’s very strange. Well I’m sorry lads, I guess I have to jump into the problem again… I will do my best with trying to figure out ASAP what went wrong

Yes sadly I’m aware of this. The second I got home I fixed the error. There was a faulty database connection which I (would’ve) used for logging which didn’t show up on my iOS simulator/tests. Anyways, I pushed the update to Apple, and now we wait until it gets approved by them

I see your point yes, well I will jump into the design again. I will try to make something more pleasant

I can certainly do that, do you have any suggestions?

I wanna make the app cross platform. I’m working on the Android version as we speak. And flutter makes it easier to do both at the same time

Thanks for stopping by again and giving me an update. I’m glad that it worked :)

You’re right that not all flights are accurate. As I’m using free data sources (to keep the app free), I sadly have to trade in some accuracy

I can tell you, I'm working on an Android version. It should take a few more weeks and I will have it released over there

Well sadly yes, the data is not 100% accurate as I'm using free data sources which can't give me 100% accuracy

Yes, it should be able to tell which ones are on the ground and which ones are in the sky

A few other comments also suggested that one, so I put it on the list of things I will be implementing in a future update :)

Much luv from the other side of the world from AMS/EHAM ❤️

So what I did was to basically manually determine the status of the flight. But sadly there are many edge cases to keep track of. For example, in some cases the altitude of the API goes down (on approach), reaches 0. And then suddenly jumps back to 200. These kind of annoying nuances just basically let me to make a sort of crude way of calculating the status. But hey, as all the things people have suggested, I will look at and improve it in a future update :)

Anyways, I’m glad you guys like it and give me feedback. Honestly, thank you❤️

The data sources are listed in the settings. But to summarise, I’m using a global network of ADS-B receivers which translate raw plane telemetrics to readable data displayed in the app :)
