Wrong accent colour

timo

AvinashR I still don't understand yet why it shows different shades of colors for you there.
This is how it looks for me:

If it is crashing for you, please wait until the next update lands and try to let it crash again, maybe some better crash report will show up on my end then. A video showing the crash would also help. Could you also enable sharing of crash data in the iOS privacy settings? It should then sometimes show a dialog with which you can share the crash report with me

The second thing is not bug, I think. The app boots up and always shows the splash screen (which shows a "fake calendar" screen) while doing so. Because you have a fast phone, it is only shown for a split-second. Then the app loads the main screen (calendar or timeline view). Then the app immediately puts the login screen over that screen and you see the login screen. Maybe you can post a video, but from my tests, there was nothing unexpected to be seen.

timo A video showing the crash would also help.

I don’t know when exactly when it happens but it happens after changing colors. Sometimes it crashes on launch, sometimes it crashes while adding new entry as if it happens behind the scenes.

It never once asked me to share crash report.
Let me toggle the option for sharing crashes

Is this correct option?
If not, help me to find the option and i will enable. Happy to share the crash data.

Regarding launch screen:
Instead of showing fake calendar I would like to see the app icon as splash screen.
Every app has icon/image as splash screen rather than Home Screen page.
Ref:splash screen examples

Fake calendar is a distraction

timo

AvinashR Is this correct option?

Yes this looks good.
As I mentioned in another thread, I am currently investigating crashes on iOS that I might or might not be able to fix. It might also be related to the tech I am using (.NET for iOS) and reported some crash reports to Microsoft already. These crashes should not be related to accent colors though.

I have already considered changing the splash screen to something more simple, but last time I though about this I preferred the splash screen that resembled the initial screen. Only when you use the password/FaceID protection, then there is a "visual hickup"

AvinashR Every app has icon/image as splash screen rather than Home Screen page

Check out the "iTunes Store App" from Apple 😉

AvinashR

timo Check out the "iTunes Store App" from Appl

Most of the the apps have simple icons as splash screen

I have face id enabled all the time and i am sure most of the people do enable faceid/pin/other form for security purpose as this is private diary.

So it makes sense to have icons rather than fake calendar or something smarter

AvinashR

timo tech I am using (.NET for iOS)

Just curious, are you using xamarin forms for ios app?
Also other platoforms…

One thing i noticed:
When i toggle light/dark from control centre, colours list remain same and only page bgcolor is changed according to the theme while i am in list page.
But when i came back to settings page and toggled, list is different

But the list i have in these two scenarios is different from what you shared earlier in screenshot. Only you know(logic/code) what is happening

timo

AvinashR When i toggle light/dark from control centre, colours list remain same and only page bgcolor is changed according to the theme while i am in list page.

You mean by that, that the texts do not change (e.g. from yellow to brown)? This is expected behavior, because the texts are only "calculated" when first opening the page. But the color circles are adaptive and change according to the current theme immediately. I just dont understand why they change to brown (and generally darker colors) for you in light theme, but not for me. This might be some iOS setting. Can you remember settings some related setting in iOS?
These are the colors I am displaying in that page and you can see in the Apple docs how they should look like for both light and dark theme: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/foundations/color/#specifications
Edit: I just noticed on that page, that the "accessible" colors look different - just like in your video! That must be the reason for all this. Did you turn on that setting accidentally? Seems like everything is working as expected them, or not? Only thing I see that might have to be fixed now is the different colors in the timeline page.

AvinashR So it makes sense to have icons rather than fake calendar or something smarter

Yes I will try this out again and reconsider. What do you think if there is no icon at all, just a dark/light background (according to the theme)?

AvinashR app is crashing.i am unable to open at all

Oh no, this is not good at all. Will investigate this.
If you are using the app on another device or have the Cloud Sync enabled (which I think you do), can you try to reinstall the app and see if the problem persists?

AvinashR

I just updated to 2.9.51 ios
app is crashing.i am unable to open at all
I already enabled share crash option.
Maybe you can find some crash data report of my device.

AvinashR

I reinstalled 2.9.51

Color issue still exist 😞
Yellow/brown

AvinashR

timo can you try to reinstall the app and see if the problem persists?

I reinstalled 2.9.51

Color issue still exist 😞 Yellow/brown.
I don’t know what ios setting you are referring to. AFAIK, there is no such setting about brown color that i played in ios with except diarium app.

——————-

Splash screen can have blank theme color without icons. Then when faceid page opens,it has theme color as bgcolor so it looks seemless.

AvinashR

timo Only thing I see that might have to be fixed now is the different colors in the timeline page

I see yellow color

Yes, i think this still has to be fixed because why it is showing’s yellow color in heading when the selected color is brown (according to accessibility)

timo

AvinashR I don’t know what ios setting you are referring to. AFAIK, there is no such setting about brown color that i played in ios with except diarium app.

It's the "Increase contrast" setting: https://www.imore.com/how-increase-contrast-and-reduce-motion-iphone-and-ipad
It's disabled by default, you must have turned it on

AvinashR Color issue still exist 😞 Yellow/brown.

But at least the crash is gone. Wish I knew what caused it. Hope it doesnt happen for other users.

AvinashR Splash screen can have blank theme color without icons

👍

AvinashR

timo It's the "Increase contrast" setting

Yes.Finally 😃.

AvinashR

timo Wish I knew what caused it.

I enabled share with developers setting before updating to 2.9.51

I think you can get crashlytics info on this.

AvinashR

AvinashR
It was increased contrast. I enabled this year ago or so 😃

Now its fine. Able to see yellow/yellow.

timo

I am already in the process of rewriting the navigation bar theming, so that it supports the accessibility colors properly

timo

The "brown yellow" is only there when in light theme & high contrast turned on (as can be seen here: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/foundations/color/#specifications) - your screenshot is in dark theme

AvinashR

light theme+ high contrast = brown

So brown should also be in the timeline heading
Not just for entries dates.

Hopefully there won’t be any crash.

We can stop here if its too much. I will go with more colors to pick yellow color.

I am using yellow as i was used to ios notes app for years.

timo

Again, your screenshot is with the dark theme 🙂
Please let me know if you encounter any crashes. There might be rare crashes when opening an entry and you have many "feed" integrations enabled. Many concurrently network requests might lead to crashes. If you see any crashes related to colors, please let me know

AvinashR

I don’t have many integrations
Just github,strava

I will update here if any 💥

timo

Yes, the navigation bar is not brown in your screenshot because I just fixed this in the code 30 minutes ago 😃
