We experienced some problems with PdParty not recognising the .pdz files
under latest iOS. We installed PdParty, sent the .pdz via whatsapp or
downloaded it from a link. Then we tried to open it but PdParty was not
in the list of applications available to open the .pdz.
In that case, you can *always* connect the phone directly to computer
with iTunes installed and copy the files via iTunes File Transfer.
Otherwise, the built-in web server will work over WiFi. The steps are
listed in the User Guide.
ok, I will have a look. Up to now we hardly had any problem thats why I
never read the user guide in depth.
I think this is fixed but just not in a release on the iOS app store yet
via https://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/pull/70. If not, I haven't had
time to do a formal PdParty release yet but I've been meaning to get to
it this winter.
This happened with two phones, both running the latest iOS. Another guy
with an older iphone did not experience this issue. In one case
reinstalling PdDroid several times solved the issue but I am not 100%
sure,
... PdParty (iOS) or DroidParty (Android)? I assume the former.
sorry to be unclear. It was an iphone, the owner reinstalled PdParty
several times and also got sent the pdz via different ways (whatsapp,
download, email). I am not sure which one worked because I had to many
things to deal with at the same time :( "every one running around like
headless chickens" kind of situation...
the situation was a bit chaotic as this happened just one hour
before a concert with seven musicians involved in the middle of a bigger
festival and everyone was stressed and in a hurry so I could not test it
properly.
Which iPhones running which iOS versions? I bet the difference is iOS
12+ bringing the Files app which may have broken the document type
declarations used by PdParty.
I dont know, one just said she had recently upgraded the iOS and that
sounded to me like it could connected to the problems. If you are
interested I can contact them to ask specifically the models.
*hint hint* I am behind the curve with testing new iOS versions and
devices as I'm happily running my robot cowboy rig with PdParty on an
iPhone 5S. If anyone would like more up-to-date support and works for an
institution which supports the creation of art/music and associated
tools, especially supporting a production which utilizes PdParty,
throwing a newer device at a single developer who puts out the app for
free would be helpful.
We already used the same patch months ago and there was no problem. The
same patch was totally fine under android, we actually solved the
problem by replacing the faulty iphone with an android phone.
Ouch.
Sorry not to be more precise, I dont have iphones around to test it
properly. If someone could test it would be good to know if this is a
global iOS problem or something we did wrong.
It is most likely nothing you did wrong.
ok. good to know. I was afraid it might be something wrong with the zip
but could not see what could I have done wrong
thanks for the reply.
