As a mobile app ZMNinja isn't that complicated, what makes it complex and squirrely is that asker used Cordova to build it so that it would run on both iphones and Android phones, and the elephant in the room is clearly NOT that he "didn't have time to work on it anymore" but that the app is built with a cross-platform mobile framework that people are abandoning.
Someone needs to step up and migrate it to Capacitor. But that someone would NOT be me. If I was going to spend time on this I'd scotch the whole thing and write an Android-only app using Android Studio and Java. If I was going to code it for money, I'd write an IOS app on Xcode and Swift and keep the codebases separate. The other problem of course is push notifications, there is a group out there who insist on having an app buzzing their phone 100 times all day when a bird lands in the field of vision. I see the point with doorbell cams but the camera companies are only just bringing ones on to the market that don't require a subscription to Ring or something like that.

I recall one where it would show the cameras as viewable but as soon as you went to look at them they were not there, got back to the page where you make them viewable and they would have the bar through them. Turn it off and go look, still blocked. Never sure WHAT I did but at one point they were all there. I of course wonder if some of the issue is ZMNinja being built on Chrome. Zoneminder is just being ZM, i.e. it just works. I did a OS upgrade and thought I had dropped a bomb on it turns out I had NOT killed the old Focal PPA and that was causing major issue, killed the PPA and made sure the latest one was working did a quick reload, and it came back nice and stable as always.
