Swiftfin progress/app update? - WelcomeRevolutionary - 2023-12-15
I recently checked out Swiftfin and was quite disappointed that the app hasn't been updated on the iOS store for nearly a year.
Major bugs like bug #582 (white swipe bar remains on screen) remain in the version on the App store, despite fixes being merged months ago on GitHub.
Is there a reason for the lack of updates and/or is there anything as a user I could do to help (e.g contribute towards $99/year dev account cost)?
I like the idea of swiftfin, but I've uninstalled it for now as from the user point of view (not many people will go hunting through bug reports on github) it looks like it's been abandoned in a broken state.

Swiftfin is still being actively developed. But, yes, the last release was 2022.
There is a newer testflight build from this past August if you want to help with testing.

Agree, swiftfin in not usable for now. Need to revert to plex until the app gets a good update with bug fixes. Really sad beacause I like jellyfin better.

You could use Infuse.

I am interested in testing the testflight build.

It's disappointing that it continually is recommended as a valid substitute for those of us trying to get away from proprietary vendors.
It's not about the money. I gladly donate to Jellyfin. It's about software that doesn't treat end users poorly.
Swiftfin's Github has been quite active of late, and it looks like the developers are using Fastlane to automate some of their CI/CD and testflight stuff. With any luck, this will mean we'll see improvements hitting tvOS devices soon.
