App does not run beyond setup

[aayushbatwara]

Hi, I'm a student trying to develop this (quite brilliant!) app further for a school project. However, I am facing some basic issues.

I am following the steps at CONTRIBUTING.md to setup the project. After finishing step 1-3, I build the app and the build is successful.

Upon launching the app the first time, I am required to grant permissions, agree to privacy policy etc. After this setup, however, the main app (with the run tracker) does not start. Instead I get the following screen:

I have tried:

• Pressing 'Reset Setup' which, simply enough, resets the setup.
• Pressing 'Main App'. This is not a button
• Signing into my Apple ID for the Team attribute in Project Settings > Signing and Capabilities on Xcode
• Building on my iPhone 13, connected via cable
• Changing the bundle identification to a random one

However, I just get the same problem.

What am I missing here?

You haven't done anything wrong!

I am currently in the middle of redoing the entire UI of the app, so the dev branch probably won't be stable for a while. Just now I created a new release for the last published version of the app (around a year ago) which you could use as a starting point for your project :)

Alternatively you could also contribute to the UI-Redo and help me code some of the views. I do not know the nature of your project, but I'm sure there is some way we can get you started here

Thank you so much for the quick response :)

Will give the new release a shot! Thanks for tip :)

Regarding the project, we are aiming to develop a health insurance for running enthusiasts - one that will give discounts to those with healthy and fit lifestyles. So to build this, we are planning to use your simple and elegant app and build the insurance system on it!

I certainly wish you good luck with that :) If you need any help with the code don't hesitate to ask. I would also really appreciate if you reached out once you have finished the project, I am genuinely interested to see what you come up with

Hello Tim,

I do a lot of sailing and I have an idea to implement a position sharing application based on your app.

I recently started developing IOS applications and I learned swiftUI, unfortunately your 1.3 release is in swift and I have a hard time starting on this basis. When do you think you will push the first swiftUI release?

@aeschimannr That sounds pretty cool :) Unfortunately it might be a while. In the last year I have not had a lot of time to work on OutRun. There is also an exam period coming up, so I will have even less time to put into the project.
