Mobile dev chat summary for Oct 24, 2012
We had a short meeting in IRC this week. Chat log.
WPiOS 3.2 status update
Version 3.2 was released yesterday and seems to be working fairly well so far. There has been quite a few bugs fixed since we submitted the update though, and there are pending translations, so we decided to issue a bug fix update (will be version 3.2.1). We noted that we need to pay closer attention to the app store reviews as some of them highlight fairly severe issues with the app.
Currently WPiOS trunk is not suitable to work on the bugs so we’ll work in a branch for any WPiOS 3.2.X releases, and move on to have trunk always be functional come version 3.3 of WPiOS.
Join us for the next weekly chat Wednesday at 15:00 UTC on irc.freenode.net in the #WordPress-Mobile room.

Isn’t that how it should? Trunk needs to be the code for 3.3 and bugfixes that also apply for 3.2.X goes then in the 3.2 branch.
Also I don’t really like the post thumbnail feature. You can only set it by uploading an new image and not by using an already uploaded image. Partly this can be done in the image view of all connected images of that post.
Also not that sure about the icons for inserting an image and selecting an post thumbnail.

We’re still trying to figure out the best way to iterate on the app.
There’s currently no way to access existing media on a WordPress website through the app. Once we have that we could offer ways to use images that have already been uploaded in different contexts, featured images being one of these.
What’s the icon and what’s wrong with it?
