          @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.

                      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.

                          Geoff

                            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!

                                          So I installed the app and overall it works great. I do have one preference issue that I want to point out. It's possible that it's a bug or I simply don't understand how it's supposed to work. It's 12:39 am for me and my phone is running at 1900K but the "at night" setting is 3400K. I don't find the 1900K setting very conducive to using my device so I tried to change it to a higher setting but the app won't allow it. It won't even go to the 3400K it's set at. The only option I have is to disable it temporarily. Can you guys fix it so that the night time settings are adhered to?

                                          Followup: I just noticed that if I adjust the "when do you wake up" setting, the display hue changes to a different setting depending on what time I select. So how does the "when do you wake up" setting work with the "at night" setting/slider above? Am I missing something here?

                                            Yep I even added this to the FAQ: https://justgetflux.com/sideload/ (at the bottom).

                                            In the meantime just set "Dawn" and ignore the wake time feature until we make more UI for it...
