[iOS] iFakku 3.0.4 -Final- (Retried)

TrueYukiNagato · 2014-07-30T18:56:50+00:00

Latest Update: Thank you all for all your support, but I am unable to maintain this application any longer. It's been fun and the dream of iFakku motivated me to learn and develop iOS applications. I probably would not have picked iOS programming as a hobby if not for Fakku. I would like to thank all of you users who supported me throughout the development of this application and the Fakku team for their release of the API. Spoiler: Final Update: Spoiler:Hi everyone. After much consideration, I have decided to retire this application. There are several reasons why I am doing so but the two mains reasons are 1. The Fakku website is already optimized for mobile devices 2. It doesn't seem like there are any plans to update the API. I have spent countless hours developing Fakku I am very happy as to how it turned out after 3 versions. The latest source code will always be available online. I would like to thank everyone who enjoyed using the app as much as I enjoyed developing it. I would also like to thank all users who have given me feedback either through Fakku or email, your praises and criticism really were the motivation to deliver and improve newer versions of this application. It's been fun! Latest Version: 3.0.4 Source Code https://github.com/TrueYukiNagato/iFakku Presenting iFakku 3.0, the latest iFakku for iOS. After many months of intermittent development, I made the decision to finally update iFakku and did so from scratch during the last few weeks. Requirements iFakku will require a jailbroken iDevice with the Cydia application installed. It is designed to work for iOS7+. Universal iFakku was designed to be a Universal Application, what this means is that the same app is optimized for both iPhones and iPads (as opposed to having two different applications). Features iFakku 3.0 contains major improvements and optimization along with new features from the last version of iFakku.

Click Done and, still on the Sources tab, click TrueYukiNagato - MyRepoSpace.com [6. Select All Packages 7. Select iFakku and click Install and Confirm Bugs and Suggestions Please post all bugs or suggestions on this thread. Of course, any other comments are welcome too (: Changelog The Changelog is available on https://www.myrepospace.com/profile/TrueYukiNagato/675040/iFakku. FAQ There is a built-in FAQ within the app and a copy of that has been made here: Spoiler:What is my "full username"? To find your "full username", go to your profile on the Fakku website and look at the URL. For my profile, this is the URL . Your full username is the last segment of the URL, in my case, it would be without the greater than/less than characters. If you are an older user, your full username may not contain an id number. Is iFakku free? iFakku is 100% free and ad-free. I have no plans to use iFakku for monetization purposes. Will iFakku be open source? I plan to release the source code for iFakku at some point. I don't know when this will be. You should just know that the code is an absolute mess. I found a bug/have a suggestion, how do I contact you about it? The best way to get in touch with me is through the Fakku website itself. Just post your suggestion or bug onto the official iFakku thread under Forums > FAKKU Developers. I'm also on the Fakku IRC a lot under the handle TYN, so you can chat with me there as well. Any usage recommendations when using the app? Alright, so a lot of pages are reused, so there's a lot of checking code. My only suggestion is to view Downloaded manga from the Downloaded tabs since the images are loaded internally, and thus, much faster. What are the "Fakku Forums" and "Official iFakku Thread" buttons on the User page? I just put those there to make it easier to get to the forums. They're simply web views displaying the respective pages. Obviously, if you think I'm out to steal your password because I somehow rigged the web view (I didn't), don't use it. I lurk the forums a lot. Version 3.0? What happened to Version 2.0? So I was programming version 2.0, but then I was super preoccupied with real life, so development stopped for many months. A lot of the code in iFakku 2.0 was also very experimental, so when I tried to start development again, I would just get too confused and stop. iFakku 3.0 is a fresh version of iFakku that refined the code in iFakku 2.0 and I feel it warrants a new version. Who are you? Just a user on Fakku, not even a prominent one at that. I used to have an Android phone and I loved the Fakku app for it (this was before the API came out) and was always disappointed that there wasn't an equivalent on iOS. How long did it take you to program the app? Funny story, I actually only adequately learned iOS programming a week before the Fakku API came out. It took me about 3 weeks to complete a decent app. I've been really busy. How do I donate? Thank you for the consideration, but iFakku doesn't need funding. However, if you'd still like to show your appreciation, please consider posting a simple "Thanks" on the Official iFakku Thread on the Fakku Forums. If that's still not enough to express your appreciation (:, I'd love a (digital) copy of any of the Fakku Books (for various reasons, I can't get one ATM). I don't think there's a gifting option, but you want to try to sort something out, PM me. Thank you so much. Special Thanks Spoiler:Orarius Orarius helped me sketch up designs for a new verion of iFakku. They were so pretty they basically motivated to improve on the UI of the old iFakku. He also provided some awesome icons. Icertys Icertys handled early distribution of the app on Cydia which really helped the app gain exposure. He also created some vital backends that allowed this app to interact with the User Favorites page. He was also involved in the debugging on the beta versions of iFakku. icons8 Most icons are used from icons8. Jacob and the rest of the Fakku staff Needless to say, the only reason this app exists is due to all the hard work Jacob and the rest of the Fakku staff put into the website and into the API. And You For using this app. Additional Comments I spent a large amount of time developing the app and consequently lost a lot of sleep from it. In the end, I developed an application that I was very satisfied with and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do. Known Issues The Downloader seems to be having random errors. If this happens, uninstall and reinstall iFakku. This is being looked into. It's best to slow down on the Downloader (so don't add too many manga to the download queue.) Sorry for the inconvenience. Previous Posts Spoiler:I am working on iFakku 3.0, the next full on stable release of iFakku. It is built to be a Universal App (optimized for both iPhones and iPads). The alpha version with all core features has been released to the alpha-testers. Look forward to a public release by the end of next week. More details will come as soon as I have updates. Thank you for your patience. March 5 Update: The app is 90% complete. Just some minor debugging. Expect a public release by the coming Monday (assuming no random delays). Spoiler:Hi everyone, development on the app has stalled due to lots of shit popping up lately. I'm just experiencing typical life drama that has set me back a long ways. For that, I'm incredibly sorry. Development has been delayed and it seems like life has other plans for me at the moment. I'll update you guys. Once again, I'm sincerely sorry. I have started on what is going to be a tedious development project. I most likely won't update this thread until it is complete (I have no idea when). If you have any questions, PM me or hit me up on IRC https://www.fakku.net/irc. Spoiler:iFakku 2.0 is currently in development and will most likely be released in late January. I am aware that iFakku may have problems in iOS8 due to some stupid changes on Apple's part. It provides major improvements to the functionality and design to the current iFakku. I would like to thank user Orarius for his excellent UI designs and user Icertys for increased public distribution of the application. iFakku 2.0 will likely be the last version of iFakku (unless there are drastic changes to the API or website) and there is a 99% chance it will be open source due to popular demand. I am occasionally on the Fakku IRC channel (I'll be on if I'm currently developing) if you would like to contact me for questions or just to fuck around. I'm under the handle TYN Thanks for downloading! Update Dec 10, 2014: Progress is steady so far. Constantly optimizing the UI for iPhones and iPads is a huge pain in the ass. Yes, this app is intended to work for iOS 7 and above, so I'm working on 2 storyboards for anyone who is interested. Admittedly, I haven't started working on the Downloader or Reader yet, but those shouldn't be much trouble since all the code for them is already written. Update Dec 17, 2014: The reader is completed and there are some improvements, which more attention on the ease of use. Images now load dynamically while reading as opposed to the previous versions, when all images had to load before the manga can be read. It is also planned that when all images are loaded while reading, the manga can be downloaded instantly, instead of all images being re-downloaded. Basically, a bunch of improvements. Based on the rate of development right now, I'll highly speculating the app will be completed approximately late January. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hi everyone! TrueYukiNagato here and I am proud to introduce Fakku!'s first iOS application, iFakku! The second major release of iFakku for iOS! Version 1.1 (Haruhi), this update contains huge improvements in the UI and backend code, especially the Downloader. And now, there is a new and improved icon :D PLEASE suggest color schemes ;_; you can clearly see I am not a designer, if you have a color scheme in mind, please let me know, I would love to implement them! Every kind of feedback and all questions are appreciated! If you find any bugs, please report them and I'll get to them ASAP.

Haha, I didn't do anything. The problem was that the official Fakku API was broken, and since iFakku relies on the API for information, the API broke as well. Now that the Fakku API is up, the app should be functional as well as long as the didn't change it.

Thanks for having faith!

The app doesn't really do anything. LOL at least I got it to run on non jailbroken phone! Im guessing there is an issue with the api maybe some changes were made recently. Since I'm running 9.0 GM perhaps things are broken. I can't even get the html to view so lots have broken down.

another problem i seem to have on ios9 when downloading is this:

2015-09-16 16:02:26.605 iFakku[1870:843528] +backgroundSessionConfiguration: is deprecated. Please use +backgroundSessionConfigurationWithIdentifier: instead
2015-09-16 16:02:26.671 iFakku[1870:843528] Invalid URL scheme for background downloads: (null). Valid schemes are http or https
2015-09-16 16:02:26.673 iFakku[1870:843528] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[2]'

it seems that:
NSURL *pageUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:pageUrlAsString];
is setting pageUrl to null

any idea how to fix that?

I am also having an issue where if I did load all the images of a manga, then choose to save them, then go to the download page, the app freezes with this message

2015-09-16 16:41:01.366 iFakku[1901:857845] /mobile/Containers/Data/Application/EB4EAD81-DC85-495A-96D5-F73C0F871640/Documents> Documents static directory created.

any idea about why is that happening?
