Hello Thomas,

Thank you for confirming that the alignment issue only occur in iPad 7.1.
I Will keep this thread updated with any news I heard from the dev team regarding CROS-635.

Update: December 9, 2014 10:35 PM

A nightly-build of Crosslight 3 (build 152) is now available to be downloaded. Please obtain the hotfix in here. This is a nightly-build update that fixes Post button getting truncated and vertical alignment issues from MessageInputSamples project in iOS 7.1 (CROS-635).

For your information, I have evaluated the nightly build on MessageInputSamples project using iPhone and iPad simulator (running iOS 7.1 and iOS 8.1) and found that the reported problems are no longer persist. Please let us hear your feedback regarding the nightly build.

Hello Thomas,

Just to clarify, the vertical alignment issue supposed to occur in iPad 7.1 only, correct? Per our testing using the latest build, the vertical alignment looks good in iPhone, for both 7.1 and 8.1.

For your reference, the backlog for this issue is filed on CROS-635.

Hello Thomas,

Yes, the Post caption is customizable through the "SendCaption" property available in the message input view control. There are a handful of settings that you can customize, see the class API here.

Sure, we'll adjust the vertical alignment for iOS 7.1.

With regards to the "Library" problem, this appears to be an issue with Xamarin iOS compiler. We'll be working with Xamarin team to address the issue.

Hope this helps!

Hello Support,

in the simulator it works with iOS 8.1 and on the device it works with iOS 7.1.

The text "Post" is vertically top aligned with the text field (only iOS 7.1). A vertical center alignment (as in iOS 8.1) would be nice. Please, correct.

Is the text "Post" customizable (e.g. for localized versions)?

Will there be a bug fix for the "Library" folder problem?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

After thorough investigation, it appears to be an issue in latest Xamarin update. In our recent test, we simply created an empty Xamarin iOS project (even without any references to Crosslight), change the device target to iPhone 5s 7.1, then hit Run. This simple blank app crashed, similar the symptom you described.

Could you please test the empty iOS project and run it in your Mac? See if it encounter such issue. If that's the case, we'll be contacting Xamarin to report this issue.

UPDATE: Xamarin apparently crashed only when the iOS 7.1 project is located in /Library folder where Crosslight library and samples are located. If you moved out the sample project to Documents folder or somewhere in the current user folder, the sample works fine. Make sure a full clean and rebuild have been performed prior to running the sample.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hello Support,

the fix did not change anything. In my opinion the situation got worse.

I tested with the iOS simulator. iPhone iOS 8.1 worked fine. iPhone iOS 7.1 crashed without any error message. iPad Air iOS 7.1 same as iPhone iOS 7.1. iPad Air iOS 8.1 app starts but the "Post" button is not completely visible.

Please, check this again carefully and update the sample in the repo.

Thanks,

Thomas

Hello Crosslight Support,

there are some problems with the MessageInput sample on iOS.

When starting under iOS 8.1 everything seems to work fine. But starting under iOS7.1creates problems.

error.png shows the runtime error I encountered. There is no "Product" created in the "ProductDetailViewModel". This causes an argument null exception.

workaround.png shows my solution for this. Set the "Product" in the constructor. As said it is just a workaround. You should fix the inital cause.

post.png shows a screenshot under iOS 7.1. The "Post" button is not completely visible.

Please, fix.

Thanks,

Thomas
