Install f.lux via Xcode?
-
@denumerable iCleaner is a great app, I'm surprised we have to jailbreak to get it.
-
@lorna oh? i just got my 6s and have held off on the jb due to the newness of the actual jb and the state of tweaks os9 compatibility. anyhow, i too sideloaded one of the couple not-quite-f.lux and actually got here looking for source to do just this. count me in as an eager beta tester, if that helps. (typing on a mbp which of course like all my other devices (iPad isn't on 9 yet) is running f.lux.)

@lorna If you need a beta tester - I am the man (2 iMacs, 2 MBP, 2 iPhone 6s Plus 128 GB and one iPad Air) - Apple addicted

We will have goodies for you soon
Already any updates regarding you announcement? Cannot wait if you are presenting a side load version.........
-
@judgetom ditto! Just registered to say the same! I sideloaded GammaThingy but it's not quite F.Lux. I want to sideload F.Lux!
-
this is a bit of an echo, but I've also just joined the forum to say i'd be really interested in an x-code loading f.lux PP for iOS 9.x
Love the app on my iMac, and it bugs me not to have my iPad work the same. I have an iPad 2 and 3 if it makes any difference.thanks
-
I love f.lux - it's one of only a few tweaks I jb for, and the only one I can't live without. I'd love to see an xCode installable package! Is there any news on this?
-
We're gonna have to do something with this new iPad pro. That sucker is bright.
-
OK guys, get to work.

Just saw the tweet, registered to post and follow this thread.
Yee-haw!

What is the outlook for updates via this method? Is it a rebuild/reinstall every time?
-
Yes for now that's how it will work - there's a daily check for updates and whenever one is available you'll get a note at the bottom of the app screen. But you have to do the build process again.

Hi, my install on my iPad Air 2 went without a hitch. Thanks.
However, when I followed the same steps for my older (3rd gen) iPad (64Gb, 3G with no sim, but connected to wifi, iOS 9.1 (13B143)) the app fails when opened.
These are the symptoms:
The app icon is present on the last screen. Hit app icon and the app loads. The white splash screen is visible for less than half a second and the screen then goes black. The iPad is still running and the app doesn't crash. Double clicking the home button gives the normal response and f.lux is present as a totally black featureless screen. It can be swiped away. The same results occur regardless of screen orientation. A four-fingered swipe takes me to other apps ok.Hopefully this helps. I will probably delete and reinstall to see the results.

Does it work better after a reboot?
This is no good - same code as the version we have been shipping for years. Hmm. -
Do I have to leave the app in the background (with push notifications enabled and background refresh enabled) to let the magic work?
Does iOS kick f.lux from memory when I play some resource intensive games? -
Yeah it kicks us and brings us back. Notifications are good to leave on - but you can turn off the notification center ones.
-
@herf I have rebooted. Same result. No other apps running, no jailbreak or anything weird with the iPad, except no sim card.
I have about 2 hours to go until sunset, so will keep trying on this build through the changeover. In the morning, I will delete and recompile and report back.
-
@herf Further update: Widgets and Notifications swipe down ok on the black screen and the bottom control panel swipes up.
Not being a developer, I wonder if this is relevant:

Oh wow so it's not a color setting bug, but a UI one?
We must have a UI problem with the Xcode beta...?

Just got updated to 9.2 beta 3 and Xcode 7.2 beta (7C62) --
Not getting it to happen on an iPad mini 2 retina.Post any more details here.
thanks!
