Hello I have checked one or your client storyteller app and follow function is crashing the app.. can you confirm..
2) can you add other camera view recording in future update ?
3) when are you planning to launch Android app for this ?
Hi,
1. sorry, your question is not clear, the app doesn’t crash at all.
2. Maybe, but not anytime soon.
3. We can’t make it because Android doesn’t support .mov videos like iOS does.
Apple has new guidelines for apps with user generated content, they won’t approve any app unless it has a “block” feature to avoid unwanted content. Are you guys planning to update the app so that it’s able to be approved according to apples new guidelines?
This app has already a Report/block function, since a few months. While watching the video you can tap on the … button on the top-right corner to report and block the video.
PS: Also all our other social apps have a block function too.
Cheers!
Awesome to know! I wasted money on project that got rejected by Apple due to not having the blocking mechanism, I’ve contacted the seller only to get no response and it’s been months, actually I mistakenly contacted you guys about it lol but I will be buying your product instead, you guys release the best projects on codecanyon in my honest opinion. Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks so much for your feedback, in fact we’ve noticed the same thing, we are iOS developers and must follow Apple guidelines, otherwise no sales 
Makes a lot of sense, cheers guys!
Btw, when will you guys be available for freelance work again?
Don’t know yet, you know, we’re in the process of building a few Android apps and it takes time and effort. Once we’ll be available again we’ll change our status here on our codecanyon’s profile.
Ok thanks and good luck with the new projects! Quick question, I just downloaded android studio to purchase on of your android projects and dive into android development, is reskinning on android studio similar to Xcode or more difficult in your opinion?
Reskinning can still be done via Interface builder (which is similar to XIB’s in XCode), and images are stored into drawable folder, so it’s not so difficult. Although we love XCode, it’s so much better than Android Studio, Apple rules, and always will
I concur my friend thanks again!
you’re welcome!
Update coming soon for XCode 8, but PLEASE NOTE that iOS 10 has a bug on reproducing videos in the video Editor screen (for example, try to watch videos sent in WhatsApp and you’ll experience the same issue), we can’t fix it , only Apple can do that, so you may experience that once you want to see your taken video again from the Video Editor screen, after taking it, its preview won’t start playing. Anyway if you tap Save the video will be saved and sent successfully, and you’ll be able to watch it from the Home screen **
Hey,
In the SubmitVideo.swift file im getting the error – “cannot invoke initializer for type ‘URL’ with no arguments” Im using the latest version of xCode from the the appstore it think its xCode 8?
anyway, this is on the line – var videoToSubmitURL = URL
How do I fix this?
Also, I just tried to switch back to xCode 7.3.1 and immediately got hit with 65 red errors 
Sure, if you open a project with Xcode 8 then you cannot open it with an older version of Xcode, you must open the original template, download it again from your Downloads page. Anyway We’re updating all our apps to Xcode 8, so you may just wait for this app to be updated
thanks, I got it error free now. I have another problem I am trying to archive to iTunes connect and i keep getting error code -22421, I cant find anything on google related to this error code… any idea?
Any idea about that, are your Development and production Provisioning profiles ok, not outdated? What is the complete error message that Xcode gives you?
I just deleted all my profiles/certificates and reinstalled them, they expire 2017… And the full error message – “This action could not be completed. Try again. (-22421)
PS: Apple made some big mistakes with Xcode 8 and ios 10 this time, all just to release iphone 7, we and lots of other developers are pretty disappointed by Apple, hopefully they’ll fix their issues soon, we expect an Xcode version 8.0.1 soon since 8 is still buggy.
Is it possible to add a button to allow the user to use the back camera? How can i increase the record time?
To increase time record check the variable into Configs.swift and edit it as you wish, but please keep in mind that you should still keep such value low, otherwise it would affect the loading time of data from parse dashboard since videos have a big size in MB:
let RECORD_MAX_DURATION: NSTimeInterval = 20.0
ok, what about a close button on the video? So people could stop the video if they dont like it?
Swipe down to close a video while you’re watching it.
How do I correct the following errors:? Expected ’,’ separator Expected expression in list of expressions
What version of XCode are you using? You must use 7.3, not beta 8, it’s buggy especially on Storyboard, Apple must do several fixes on Xcode 8 yet
Will you convert this app to Android?
it’s in our plan, although we don’t know when we’ll be able to make it, hopefully on next year.
Is there a sample of this on the iOS app store?
Having trouble when trying to create an account. Probably on your client, any others?
an account on back4app.com?
an account on the app link you just sent me. Creating a profile I received an error.
Sorry, we’re not aware of other versions submitted on the App Store.
We’re going on vacation for the whole month of August 2016.
We are not available for freelance works, nor we can assure to reply to comments/messages promptly.
Happy summer!
I would love to that video trim feature as standalone ios app. Pls see if you can publish that to codecanyon and notify me if so.
You can trim the video you’ve taken before you save and upload it. We can’t do anything else at the present. Cheers!
When I enable OneSignal, I can send a push to the device through the dashboard but when I follow a user, Xcode shows success as sent. It shows sent in OneSignal but the device never gets it. Is this a known issue?
When you run the app on a real device for the first time, it registers the device token of it and if you then logout and login with ankthe user for test purposes, for example, it doesn’t register a new device token. so you should use only the first account on your real device and login with another account on Simulator, then follow the user you’re logged in in the real device from the Simulator and you should get a push notification. Simulator doesn’t support pushes.
and anyway, we’ve experienced some delays sometimes with the free OneSignal account, pushes still work but you’ll receive them with some delay.
I tested what you are saying and still no go. I install app on iPhone, then login as user. Then on simulator i login as another user, then I follow the user that has the iPhone. In Xcode is shows that its being sent, but nothing is received on iPhone. I send a push from dashboard on OneSignal and no problem. It receives a test dashboard notification. Any idea whats going on?
So, you’ve correctly updated your .p12 files in your OneSignal’s app dashboard, right?
And if you send a push from the OneSignal web console your iPhone receives it, right?
Check if the device token registered in your OneSignal’s console is the same as the pushID column in your Parse Dashboard, in the row of the User you’re logged in with your iPhone. If everything is ok, then we have no idea about what’s going on, it works fine on our side and on our other clients side.
Correct, I have even downloaded your latest build, simply to test. Setup the OneSignal account, setup the Back4App account. I login into the first account in my iPhone, record video and then submit. I think login to Xcode with another created account, then find the video that was uploaded follow and the iPhone does not get push. I go to OneSignal to test but pushing a notification through their web interface and the iPhone gets the test notification. Something but be not connecting well. I check the status in OneSignal and its showing 100% successful API push delivery. I check the Back4App user ID and compare to OneSignal user ID and they match like you mentioned. I see Xcode and it says, its pushing the notification but phone never gets it. So odd.
yep, it sounds very odd, we’ve tested the app again and all works fine, and if the Xcode console prints “push sent to xxx” it means that there’s no OneSignal’s error, actually. Anyway, that doesn’t necessarily mean that other users won’t get notifications, it may be some unknown issue on your device, rare but it may happen, so go ahead and publish the app, the rest works fine.
I located the issue. If I delete the app from the test iPhone and then reinstall it, the only way notifications will work again through push API is if the user is deleted through back4app and onesignal, then reinstalls app again on device. Which will then cause the addition of the user being added to back4app and one signal with matching push IDs. The issue I see with this is that if a user deletes the app, then comes back to download again using the same username, this will cause push issues. Any solution?
No, that shouldn’t cause any push issues if the user removes the app, reinstall it and logs in again with the same user, because his device token is registered in OneSignal. your xcode probably messed up something in the beginning.
Hi, is there a fast way to loop the video or autoreplay it when it ends?
Edit videoEnds() method like this:
// MARK: - DISMISS CONTROLLER AT VIDEO
func videoEnds(notif: NSNotification) {
print("video ended!")
self.player.seekToTime(kCMTimeZero)
self.player.play()
}
Solid, works good. Question, do you take on private projects?
what do you mean with private project? if we make customizations?
Meaning, are you for hire to expand and customize this entire app?
for customization requests please contact us by our profile’s contact form and we’ll get back to you asap
Awesome, you are great sir!
You’re welcome!
Whats the best way to change the background of the loading icon. The green circle i am referring to in every screen that is loaded.
check the hud view in Configs.swift file and set its backgroundColor as you wish
Any push notifications for when people you follow upload videos ?
No, only when you follow someone.
Okay, any guidance on accomplishing this? I am fairly familiar with swift but still learning.
That would be a very complex feature, since this app doesn’t have a PHP backend we don’t even know if that’s possible at the present, nor we have time to try something about it, sorry.
I would think you can simply place a conditional statement to check who has followed you then notify those followers you have published a new video. However I guess saving username who follow you in a database will be needed.
sure, but the code can send 1 push to 1 user at s time, not multiple pushes to x number of users who are following you while you post a video, that’s yhe problem right now.
I was using parse to push multiple notifications to multiple users before in another app we are building. I’m sure I’ll find a way, thanks so much!
the thing of it is that we used OneSignal service for push notifications, because now that Parse SDK is hosted on back4app.com, they need to fix the iOS Push system, it doesn’t work properly yet. Give it a try anyway and see if you can figure it out.
Sounds good, I never used one signal, I’ll have to test. I’ll update you on what we come up with!
ok cool
What would be the possible complications of increasing the limit to maybe 30 seconds?
The app may be slower in loading all videos since they’ll have a bigger size.
Would it be possible to switch back to parse? I need something that has local data storage available.
please contact us by our profile’s contact form and we’ll get back to you asap
Nice app! I want buy this app
1- I wonder if I can put in this app my own videos if yes how how many gigs can I do that? Because I have over 100- 3 mins different videos! 2- Do I need som site to support that? 3- If it possible that I locked my video and open every day new video? 4- do you have it in both versions ios and andriod?
Thanks for answer
Hi, thanks for your feedback.
1. This app works with CloudKit and you may upload your media and create users and records manually into your CK Dashboard
2. no room site, CloudKit stores data into its server
3. No, sorry.
4. No, we’re only iOS developers.
thanks for answer.
You’re welcome!
I got your update, and it worked perfectly to stop the app from crashing. The only other concern I have is that the videos never show up on the home screen until you hit the refresh button, and even then cloudkit seems to be pretty slow retrieving the videos. Is it supposed to be that way/ is this something that I will just have to live with?
It’s just how CK works, it is a bit slower than Parse, and we have left the app as it is in order to prevent it to make too many queries to the CK server in the Home screen. If we made the app query the videos automatically all the times you enter the Home screen, that would affect the speed of the app and wouldn’t limit the amount of queries to the sever.
For some reason if I select the profile icon on the bottom bar sometimes it crashes. I haven’t really changed much of the app other than design features. Any idea why that would be happening?
Yes, that happens when the home screen has not retrieved the CurrentUser record yet, CloudKit is not like Parse so when you open the app you should wait for it to load the videos list.
Is there any way around this? Apple is not approving my app because of it.
Yes Apple will approve it as they did with the other versions of this app that other clients have published successfully, anyway we’ll add a method to always check the Current User so it won’t crash in case you tap the user icon too quickly. Cheers!
Do you know when I could expect to see the update for this?
Sure, in a couple of days.
Many, many thanks to you. Cheers!
You’re welcome, and don’t forget to rate this app on your Downloads page, unless you already done it 
Everything I buy from you gets 5/5. I see you posted the update but it’s backdated until April 10. Will it not be available until then?
Yes, we have to wait for Envato reviewers to approve the update, it may happen tomorrow.
How can I utilize the front facing camera?
Hi, we’re not in office on weekends so we can’t paste the code here, but check the videoCamera instances and you’ll find .Front option, you can change it to .Back if you want the rear camera. default is front.
Thank you for getting back to me on the weekend! That was a quick and easy fix. Any way to easily add the option to choose between the front and rear facing camera?
Not in this app, you would have to rewrite some custom code to switch camera, not an easy job.
How do i remove ads completely?
Check this video out, it will help you: https://youtu.be/-AnEd1tfcWk
Where are the video files saved to in cloudkit?
Into the video Asset field of the Videos record type.
I dont see how to access the videos….
where, in your CK Dashboard? if that’s yes, you can download videos by clicking Download on its record, next to Remove button.
