Broken feed

[nathanspeller]

Multiple apps, including my HN Reader app have been broken for a few days now. Not sure if the recent commit broke the scraper?

Completely sure it didnt. You can check out any of this apps that displays the posts correctly and uses libHN for doing so.

• http://getboreal.com/
• http://www.hnreader.com/
  Make sure your app is refreshing correctly the configuration file.

@nathanspeller @jchomali i can confirm that my app is broken too http://mackernews.com . I reinstalled my app which should fetch the latest configuration file. Something most definitely is up IMHO

@jchomali hnreader.com is my app. I've confirmed with a few users that the feed isn't loading for them. I've tried redownloading the app which I imagine would force a fetch of the latest config file, but no luck. Also doesn't work locally in Xcode.

The following hn reader is also experiencing the same problems:

Redownloading the app will not fix the problem if the configuration file was imported wrong.
Can you please try my app, Boreal, and tell me if you see any posts? If you dont see any posts please kill the app twice and look again. If Boreal doesnt throws the error then the problem can not be the configuration file.

@nathanspeller I can confirm that your app shows the posts after reinstalling the app and the killinkg it one time. After that it shows me the posts. Please try doing some logging to the see if the configuration file is being downloaded and replaces the old file.

@jchomali I tried your Boreal app. It also did not show any posts until I killed it first. Re-downloading and killing my own app also got my app to show posts. Post are also now showing in my local version.

This is still a bad situation since all of these apps won't show posts until they're killed. My other users still have no posts even after killing and reopening the app. I believe I'm loading the configuration file correctly but I'm not sure how to test this now that my local versions are retrieving the correct configuration file.

I agree that the latest configuration file is working, but something else seems to be broken.

@hamin is your app still having issues?

[nathanspeller]

@jchomali did you do anything in Boreal besides including calling HNManager.sharedManager().startSession() inside didFinishLaunchingWithOptions?

This seems like the only time that a new configuration file would be loaded. However, when logging in the simulator, I find that didFinishLaunchingWithOptions is NOT called when exiting and reopening the app. It is also NOT called when you kill the app and reopen it!! This is news to me.

When will a casual user actually call didFinishLaunchingWithOptions? When their phone restarts?

Not sure what's going on but my feed is still messed up on my app http://mackernews.com . I actually updated the Podfile to point to the latest commit on master and still it seems to be broken. Right now trying to build a new version to upload to Mac App Store. Will keep everyone posted

just an update @bennyguitar's last commit fixed it for my app without any update whatsoever :)
