Version 3.0 released today shows a completely black screen on latest version of iOS and iphone 13 Pro Max. The Kiwix screen looks normal in the app scroller but again goes black when picked / maximised. Switching the phone day / night settings does not help.

I'm copy-pasting the exchange I had with the user (+screenshot):

"I have tried on an iPad 2 running 9.3.5 (downloaded with jailbreak running) and I cannot open the zim file I downloaded from the app. It did initially open but it looked like it was the css code , I did reboot into 9.35 no jailbreak and it simply does not open. Would this be because I am using a 32 bit device perhaps ? I have not attempted this on an iPhone 6 with current iOS 11 but will try later I'm sure. It will not download any other files and just crashes although I have several gb free space."

And then...

"Well I transferred the Wikipedia zim file to an iPhone 6 updated to the new iOS and see the same as what I saw once on the iPad ...."

Works fine on kiwix-serve

Hi, I have the 20 March 2021 Wikipedia .zim file and searching for the letter 'a' or 'b' or 'c' works but searching for the letter 'd' crashes the kiwix app, most other search terms I tried also crashed. Is this a known problem? Thanks.

There is a new, slightly remodeled logo for Kiwix https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kiwix_logo_v3.png The app's icon needs to be updated accordingly

I've had several users reporting that wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2018-10.zim fails to download (or rather: starts downloading and then stalls). They have also indicated that other files (including wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2019-12.zim) downloaded just fine, so the error might be with the handling of this one big guy.

Here is the online rendering: http://library.kiwix.org/dsp.stackexchange.com_en_all_2017-10/A/question/374/river-detection-in-text.html

Here is how it is rendered on my iPad.

Kiwix iOS v1.9 (2): I can open the packages under ON DEVICE (which I had downloaded with an earlier version of Kiwix) as expected. But I don't see any packages when I select an entry from CATEGORIES (i.e. "Wikivoyage"). And when I open the language filter, I can only see my own language (SHOWING > "Deutsch"), but not the other language preferences I had set (English, French), and there are no languages displayed under HIDING at all.

Note: When I first tried to download new packages, the app asked wether I want to remove the existing language filter or not. I declined. Then the app crashed immediately. I was able to reproduce this problem on another device. The first one is running iOS 11.2.5, the second one iOS 11.2.1.

iPadOS 14.4 and Kiwix for iOS v1.14: when looking at an article and switching to another app (without closing Kiwix), a user reports that coming back to Kiwix the article is fully zoomed in.

When downloading the large May 25, 2020 Wikipedia image with kiwix on iOS, the download appears to stop or hang after a certain amount of time. If caught fast enough, Pause'ing and Resume'ing the download can cause it to continue. If not, the download enters a frozen unrecoverable state, where tapping on the Pause button appears to do nothing (the UI does not change it to Resume). This has happened around a dozen times for me now, and in various states of progress. Some as low as 10-15% complete, once it happened to me while it showed 100% download.

• I tried setting device screen lock time to Never and this phenomenon still occurs.
• I have also tried closing Kiwix by swiping up from the App selection interface, but this still occurs.
• I have tried downloading the file both via WiFi only and Wifi+Cellular.
• I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Kiwix, but this still persists.
• This issue has also persisted over the course of several days.

My device and download info are: Downloaded file: Wikipedia (39.85GB, May 25, 2020, 6.1M articles) Downloaded file ID: f6aa1506 Device mode: iPhone 11 Pro Device OS: iOS 13.5.1 Kiwix version: 1.13

I would be happy to provide additional information if helpful.

Currently ipad os on my 6th generation ipad detects zim files from external sd but not able to load it anyway,share sheet doesn't even show kiwix as an option. Using version kiwix 1.10

It will be good to see a synchronization of bookmarks with iCloud between mac and iOS devices. I understand that it could be weird in a sense. People would expect synchronizing them with macOS -> Android as well. So not sure if that is something you will be interesting in.

On my iPhone (13 Pro), the "random article" button takes up valuable space in the action bar, making "Settings" and "Library" collapse into the overflow menu (sorry, not sure if these are the correct UI terms).

This is purely anecdotal/personal, but I use either option much more frequently than opening a random article, and it's annoying having to do the extra tap/step every time.

cant search non-english languages in iOS version. For example, When i search "Turán theorem" in desktop version, it will show me the results, but in iOS version, it shows nothing.

Hello and many thanks for the magnificent app! What I miss (and many others users too, no doubt) is the full screen mode activated e.g. with a single tap on the screen. It will make reading much more immersive if one could hide the top and bottom bars when they are not in use. Do not waste screen space, there is not plenty of it even on big phones. And this is a standard feature on most ebook reader apps, should be pretty simple to implement..

I had a wiktionary zim downloaded on Kiwix and nothing else. This led to many crashes while typing words into the search box, as seen on many other issues opened on GitHub. However, by adding Wikipedia’s zim file, all the crashes stopped happening. While searching, both libraries are checked : if I uncheck one of them, the crashes are happening again. I’m not a technician by any mean, and can’t explain what is going on. Anyway, I’m posting this hoping it could help both developers and users fixing things up. Please keep maintaining that awesome app. Thank you
