IOs app 1.86.0 not available
I've updated the server version, to find out I'm not able to use Immich from iOS devices because the latest version of the mobile app is not available. I've also tried joining TestFlight but it says it's unavailable

The release went out 7 hours ago, Apple can take a bit of time to approve the app
That's really annoying, my gf wanted me to backup her pictures
I hope it comes through in a reasonable time
Next time I'll check the app store before updating
Any chance on getting TestFlight?
We don't use testflight afaik
It's mentioned in the documentation page with even a link
Might need an update then
Yeah that will need an update
Honestly, how difficult it is to make things backward compatible? Or at least make a note in release notes that iOS app isn't available yet
As a result, iOS is now not usable with immich after server upgrade
there is a "braking" note .. you just have to read it as well
Yes, I read it. It doesn't say - "DO NOT UPGRADE. iOS APP ISNT AVAILABLE YET."
ok I don´t feed the trolls so I end it here
It's not about trolling, but rather setting people expectations. It's not too late to update a release note, so more people not waste their time like I did. Just saying
It takes apple this time unusually long to make the review. most of the time the app is on the appstore just a few hours later.
ok I will feed .... "Please make sure you have toilet paper before going to the toilet, otherwise some unpleasant surprise might occur" . And yes I am sorry for the joke
You are not offering any useful suggestion by your comment, so you are trolling basically
That's why we cannot have nice things
ok my suggestion is " if there is a braking update. please make sure that updates for IOS and Server are both available before updating"
And I admit I did not check myself and my wife is trying to murder me now the last few hours 😆
The project states "under heavy development" and states braking changes in the release notes. The IOS app is released, but you can not know how long apple takes for the review. Most time it's fast. IMHO all is done to be informed.
That was my suggestion actually, not yours, lol, or part of it.
I created a bug for this - https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/5042
Immich is currently in beta. Backwards compatibility is not rocket science, but it is extra effort that we would rather spend elsewhere.
As we try to note basically everywhere:
Wow, i tough I am doing something wrong with my new fresh installation. And there it is - just version missmatch 😄
Any plans for official release date?
Nope
yeah I am not sure why it takes so long this time
hopefully the app will be released by the end of the date to day
otherwise my wife is gonna strangle me
I agree that the notification to update should not be displayed before the app is released on all platforms, especially with breaking changes
My wife is going to do the same
I tried to rollback but since the update includes db migrations it's not possible
We don't really have a control over this. This is a catch of self hosting application with both the server and the mobile app, especially during development
that is why we put in the warning in the release notes and encourage people to read the release note before an update
I understand nobody but apple has control over when an update will be released. But the release notes and the app notification can be changed as needed imh
noted as an opportunity for improvement
especially for breaking changes
speaking of the devil, app just changed status to be "In Review"
so it should be out within the next hour
Nice.
it is approved bois
should be out in the next few mins
Just an idea. But can’t you submit the app for review, and then release everything at once after it’s been approved. That should avoid issues like this.
yeah we think we can do this for breaking changes like this one
TBH this is the first breaking change that prevent logging in we have ever pushed out so still learning from experience here
Thank you for the feedback
just updated 🙂
