Overview

EventBlank iOS App

I go to a lot of conferences and events and noticed that few of them have a proper iPhone app.

And I can understand that - there are so many things the organizers have to take care of … and a nice app takes a lot of time do develop.

My goal with this project is to provide a free open source blueprint, which will allow creating an event/conference iPhone app in a matter of ~ 1 hour. The project will aim to have as few as possible dependanies so that it can be cloned from GitHub and built immediately.

This project is currently in alpha stage. You will need Xcode 6.4 for building it.

Video demo of the alpha build so far: https://vimeo.com/132935515

Launch Screen

It'd be perfect if Launch Screen can show the colors + the event and organizer names.

Here's my idea - the view in LaunchScreen.xib can have a custom view class, that could grab the event data and show it on the start screen. Try that

choose 3rd day of conf, select a session, then hit Back from the session details screen - it brings you back to the list of sessions of the first day of the conf

Show/Hide audience chatter

Check if twitter_chatter is 0 or 1 in the events table of the eventblank file. Respectively hide or show the Chatter segment in the Feed tab of the app

Add an alert for "event ended"

Upon starting the app it should check the date in the event file and the current date and if the event has passed show an alert to let the user know they are looking at an old content.

"The event happened from [begin date] to [end date]. You can still browse the session list and check the news feed." (refine text later)

Check for a newer .eventblank file in the app bundle

When you rebuild the Xcode project and you included a newer version of the .eventblank file in the project it does not get copied again to the Library folder and used in the app.

Check the modification date maybe and see if it's a newer one?

Twitter auth crash

"Just a heads up that if you decline Twitter account access on the Feed tab of the app, it crashes and will always then crash if you try to visit that tab. Thanks!”

self sizing cells

sometimes the bottom of the session name and/or session description gets cut off few pixels, haven't seen this on iOS8 while testing - I can see it happen on iOS9

ver. 1.1 brought with it an older versoion of the eventblank file

1.0 was updated to the latest data file, and so was nsdefaults and the etag, 1.1 came with a data file before the one that was online and user defaults etag was preserved and 1.1 showed older data than what I had in 1.0

question is - is the data file still in Library? it should be - and if so how to keep using it?

Show track names, descriptions, maps

Add list of the tracks and their info in More. Add "Tracks" menu item - in the next screen show a list of their names and descriptions (if any). Add a map button for tracks that have a map image - show the image in a preview popup.
