Nexus Testing

Disclaimer: I am such a beginner when it comes to any sort of development including UNA that beginner probably doesn’t even apply, so please forgive my ignorance

Today I downloaded Xcode and Android Studio and dove headfirst into what turned out to be numerous and often rage inducing attempts, over many hours at compiling the new mobile iOS app. I haven’t even made a full attempt at the Android version yet.

I was finally able to get the iOS app compiled, I think successfully, but the only thing I can seem to do is login to my account here on una.io and since I use other hosting its usefulness is limited. I assume this is related to not having the Nexus app installed but unsure. I know the platform is not launched yet so with that in mind, a few questions I have:

  • Is the Nexus UNA app listed in the Market functional so that if I paid the $100 today, I could hook up my external hosted UNA site and start testing the compiled iOS app through TestFlight or ad-hoc?
  • Does the 1 year of support and updates start officially when 10.0 launches or does it start during the beta period and then would lose however many weeks or longer before the official launch?
  • Is there any draft documentation that might possibly help me as I am trying to find my way through the Nexus platform?

Thanks in advance for any guidance, tips and information.

    • Thank you for choosing UNA for you site and mobile apps.

      1) yes, Nexus app is functional, but there is not much there, it just make your app connect to UNA

      2) 1 year starts from the date of the purchase

      3) Nexus isn't platform, it just an App, UNA is platform for development, all the documentation is here:

      https://github.com/unaio/una/wiki

      If you need documentation for UNA mobile apps - it's written in ReactNative and documentation can be found on their site, we have some UNA specific info in the app source code README file.

      If you have any question please feel free to ask.

      • Hey Alex,

        Thanks so much for the response. I appreciate the info on the subscription and the current status of the Nexus app.

        The documentation on Github is great but I feel like it is overly simplistic and like there were prior instructions that I should have already known. Obviously that could certainly be more about my inexperience than anything else but just my take. A couple new questions from me -

        1. Does it matter where the source code resides for the apps? Does it have to be hosted or can it just be on my local laptop documents folder?
        2. Can both Android and iOS apps live in the same directory? I cobbled together the iOS app (although with some React specific .js issues that I haven’t solved yet) but trying to run the Android setup from the same directory is an exercise in futility for me so far.
        3. When I buy and enable the Nexus app, will I be able to render my site via the mobile app? I have similar configuration type questions which I was hoping to find in the Nexus documentation but I can’t seem to find much.

        Thanks again for the insights
