Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
-
@pparent Very cool to see that you are working on notifications!
I'll see if I can make a good description for the general tracker later today, if nobody has done it yet. It would be so sad to loose all of these great apps on a future stable release. I'm wondering if it has affected 1.x daily yet, or if it is a pure 2.x issue.
-
I think that it has been clearly said that there should be a 24.04-1.2 release; 24.04-2 is not destined to straight replace 24.04-1 in the following months.

definitely not.

@gpatel-fr Glad to hear it has not affected 1.x daily yet. As I understand it 2.0 or 2.1 is not coming anytime soon, no.

Anyway in the long run we will hopefully switch to Wayland when Mir2.x is included in the system, and then the OSK will be handled differently that it currently is. Not sure whether the 24.04.2 branch will include Mir2.x .

Notifications are available in version v7.86.0-1 !
In order to get notifications you need to keep the application opened. Somehow you don't need to un-suspend the application in Ubuntu Tweaks, it seems the Xwayland apps are not suspended by the system. So note it might affect a bit battery life.
Next version will focus on corrections of main remaining bugs or things that display not well in the UI, because not adapted to responsive design ( left menu, search message, medias of a group ), and if possible fix bugs with contentHub.

@pparent Would it be helpful for you to have a second phone?
-
Thank you very much for proposing, I currently have on top of my main phone:
*An old vollaphone (with broken screen, and I have datas on my waydroid session there that for now I would not like to relfash it for that reason)
*A pine-phone, that I wonder if I could use to try in-development versions (24.04.2)
*My old Nexus 5 that was my first UT device but completely outdated!
What are you proposing?

@pparent I have a OnePlus Nord N10 that I could give to you if it's of any use. It's running 24.04-2.x and the battery isn't very good anymore. I would reset it to factory settings and send it to you. What do you think?

It does, but it's acceptable. Especially since notifications are quite important to me. It's so nice to see Signal notifs appear on my Pebble watch now!

Ok I think I can make use of the device, thank you very much! (and in any case if I don't need it anymore one day, or you need it again, I can always send it back to you.) I send you a PM.
In an ideal world Signal would provide an API for external webpush server, as telegram does, and we don't need to keep an app open ususpended to receive notifications.
