Any news if there are any possibilities of the app coming to iOS?

Like Misogi said, you need to pay to become Apple Dev ($99/year), then you need a Mac to develop and iPhone for testing, and you need to know Objective-C + the framework (cocoa?). So it is unlikely to have it in iOS. If any apple dev want to adapt the application or even only the parser, please do so as long there is a proper credit to the BakaReaderEx teamBornstellar wrote:Any news if there are any possibilities of the app coming to iOS?

Might be hard, as the parser only selecting based on the html element (ul/li) into a single array (the structure is gone).Unknownadd wrote:Highly doubt the app would work on the iOS for the above mentioned reasons.

If yes - then that might be a grey area where translations of foreign works are allowed through.
If not - then its because there is the risk of the work being licensed in the future that it is not allowed. Though some of the above sites (MangaFox for example) don't host licensed works on their site at all which may side step that issue.
In other news, I have this very annoying bug/issue with the current build. The way headers and lists work for chapters seems to be a bit problematic and lead to some funky chapter names. The best example is in Highschool DxD.
Example:
In vol4 you have chapter New Life with subsections Grigori 2 and Valhalla.On the page it is listed as:However, on the App the chapter list reads
- New Life
- Grigori 2
- Valhalla
This leads me to believe that with embedded lists the item before the new list will list all the subsequent items before moving to the list. I guess that means
- New LifeGrigori2Valhalla
- Grigori2
- Valhalla
would probably show up as
- Section A
- Section B
- Section C
Any idea what would cause that and if there is a way to fix it?
- Section ASection BSection C
- Section B Section C

Yes, there are manga readers on the app store that explicitly reference mangafox (which I just arbitrarily searched for) and the screenshots contain pictures of it, including pages from Beelzebub in addition to the chapter listings. I cannot imagine anything on B-T being more blatant then that.Unknownadd wrote:Highly doubt the app would work on the iOS for the above mentioned reasons.

Nope, the current data structure doesn't support it, as the marker is on the same table with the chapter/page marker.AerosAtar wrote:Is it possible to 'delete' a downloaded chapter without clearing the cache (which also deletes the 'read' status of the chapter)?
I.e. I finish reading a chapter/volume and want to free up the space on my device, but I want to retain the 'read' status of the chapter/volume. At the moment, the only option I can find is to clear the cache, which also removes the 'read' status from the chapter/volume, so I have to mark it as read again.
So, anyone?cramped wrote:Just my 2 cent here, the chinese LN website got an app on ios for reading these things, to boot it is in the official appstore.
If it's true, then... i'll take a look. I want to go back to brEX android when i am able to move my hand and add cloud backup. then maybe a test iOS app. but i don't have an iPhone/Mac is at work.Nandaka wrote:So, anyone?cramped wrote:Just my 2 cent here, the chinese LN website got an app on ios for reading these things, to boot it is in the official appstore.
