For battery life, and visual consistency with iOS 13 dark mode.

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Visit http://www.ust.hk with the app
2. Check the site rating, the encryption type is unencrypted
3. Change the url to https://www.ust.hk
4. Check the site rating again, and the encryption type is still unencrypted

Expected behavior

The encryption type should be either forced, encrypted or mixed

Actual behavior

The encryption type is still unencrypted after I changed to visit the site with https

What is the version of the duckduckgo app you are running?

v7.6.1 on iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 11.4

In any search results, such as Instagram, if you click on the link the corresponding application installed on the phone will open.

Perhaps this can be fixed so it does not happen, and put into the settings for users to turn on and off.

Hi there, not being able to import my bookmarks is the only thing stopping me from using DDG on iOS instead of Firefox.

I look forward to the possible implementation of this feature.

Like your newly relaunched macOS app, please consider extending this app’s tracker blocking as a Safari content blocker, similar to Firefox Focus.

Bonus points if it includes an allow list, which Firefox Focus doesn’t have. ;)

Why the project cannot build correct，when code signing changed～！
The most critical issue is the problem of handling two group IDs related to core

When I open a multi-page pdf file and try to scroll down, there is a glitch that seems to show content from several pages away, then quickly scrolls back to where it should be. It seems to happen whenever I change scrolling direction (for example, scroll down a few pages, lift off finger, then scroll up), so trying to quickly find a part of a document is hard. There also seems to be a similar glitch when zooming in.

Currently, the Xcode project file includes DuckDuckGo's Apple developer id. An external contributor (i.e. someone outside of the DuckDuckGo development team) needs to change the account id, app id and app group names before the app can be compiled. The external contributor should also take care to exclude these changes from the PR being worked upon.

It would make life easier for external contributors if these variables (development team id, app id and app group prefix) can be specified in a separate xcconfig file. The xcconfig file should not be included in the git repo, and a template can be included in place of that.

If you think this is worth doing, I can work on a PR for this.

Are you guys looking for any open source contributors. I 'm fairly new to open source and would love to learn and contribute.

I like it. I'm wondering if there is a way we can make it even more obvious that the app is automatically erasing everything for you.

This isn't a request for removal, just thinking out loud.

I have discovered very important details.
I have sold all my iOS devices.

You can’t set up and use iPhone offline. You always have to do an internet activation in the setup window first. If you reset the software, internet activation is required again. iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV and Apple Watch same problem. The worst thing is if Apple shuts down the servers then you will never be able to use the iOS devices again.

Also when installing apps (locally installed by PC) you have to connect to the App Store the first time you start it. You are completely bound to Apple. Offline use is not possible.

During use it can connect over 100 undocumented Apple domains.

– my $150 or High-End Android device does not have this limitation. Can always set up and use offline.

Not to forget, iOS has a built-in remote keylogger from Apple. Every keypass is sent to Apple server!

In general, developers don’t like iOS. It is extremely limited and always set against the user.
Best duckduckgo iOS will no longer support, because iOS and the other Apple systems are harmful platform for developers and users.

It is better to support Android or Android without google service and Linux than iOS. Users always benefit first and it is the most sustainable solution.

Please will not support iOS devices and the Apple platform again. It is really a harmful platform.

Hi,

If possible, please add a setting to allow us to clear all data and tabs (similar to the fire button) when we close the app.

Maybe something like this on the AppDelegate.swift?

func applicationWillTerminate(_ application: UIApplication) {
        ServerTrustCache.shared.clear()
        WebCacheManager.clear() {}
        tabManager.removeAll()
}

Thank you!

Within the iOS app, any links that have HTML code with target=“_blank”, the app does not honor it. Works fine on other web browsers like Safari, etc.

App version: 7.21.0
Device model: iPhone XS & iPad Pro 3rd Gen
iOS version: 12.3.1
Reproduce: click a link with the specified HTML property target=“_blank”
Expected behavior: Open a new tab to the link
Actual behavior: Takes the current tab to the link

It is currently impossible for DDG to handle payments via the Ideal platform. Any support coming for this?

Hello all,

I noticed in the app there are no options for customizing the look of the app. Maybe a white theme or a pure black theme for OLED display on the iPhone X. Just a suggestion mostly.

Have a good one!

Hello guys,
I have an issue when building your project on last Xcode.
What solution do I need to use to resolve this problem?

Hello folks. I want to add Downloading files feature to this project. In example: downloading epub files, zip etc. So what do you think about it?

Expected behavior:

The app should download epub file, then shows it in Books app.

Actual behavior:

The app opens a page that shows the unicode.

There is no Eventual Connectivity management so the user will know when he or she no longer has access to the internet. In addition, retrieving the internet connection does not continue downloading the pending data. The behavior described above can be observed in the following video:

The tab switcher continually gives me the impression that I can tap the background to return to the tab I was at (e.g., dismiss the switcher as I would if I tapped the 'Done' button).

This might sound silly, but I'm constantly tapping the background expecting this behavior. Not sure if this is my own problem or not, so I'm opening this (low-priority) issue for feedback, as well as submitting a PR for the team to try out.

In iOS, bar buttons with state transitions are more often found at the top of the screen, for example:

• a search field with a results controller and a Cancel button that dismisses the search modal;
• when you're editing a list in a table view and the Edit/Done nav-bar button

Hey,

It seems since 13a22ac I can't update to 7.2.0 on my iPhone 5 through the App Store. (the target is iOS 10 but the iPhone 5 (which can run iOS 10.3.3) is 32bits)

It's not stated in the changelog, was this intentional?

I'm stuck with an upgrade I can't to in the app store, it's a bit annoying 😑

Would be nice if you could place a link to the App Store in the Repo description. Currently it just says "DuckDuckGo iOS Application". There is a "link" setting so you can show a link next to the description.

I'd send a PR, but it's unfortunately not possible to PR this change.

Description

Goal is to include app version number in iOS system settings. Example from Test Flight:

Any thoughts on integrating https://github.com/Yubico/yubikit-ios to support Yubikeys similar to what Brave did at brave/brave-ios#1158?

If I enter a number on the search bar the app loads that as a URL rather then making a search with the number as the query

input: "3"
result: "http://3/"
I'd expect: "https://www.duckduckgo.com/?ko=-1&kl=wt-wt&q=3"

is this the expected result?

I think we should do this up front on setup. I think we can look at how the keyboards do it (as they have super complicated setup requirements).

I think this is the highest priority.

The GROUP_ID_PREFIX value in ExternalDeveloper.xcconfig is not imported, causing a crash when DDGPersistentContainerdefaultDirectoryURL.defaultDirectoryURL() implicitly unwraps a nil value.

Just a few minutes into the codebase, but the fix appears simple: interpolate Global.globalIdPrefix as part of Database.Constants.databaseGroupID.

A PR with this change is incoming.

Hi!

I have started to translate the app to Spanish from Spain and I see that there are many texts that do not exist in the Localizable.string file and I have started to add them, do you accept the translation to languages? :)

When using the “Change Tab” button, animations for both presenting and dismissing the view, makes the UI lag. An example of this can be found in the video shown below:

UI/Snapshot Tests are broken in develop. Something about the Onboarding, Site Ranking, and Network Offenders must have been changed and UI Tests were not updated apparently. It's a quick fix so I'm preparing a PR in case it's useful for you.

I think the red while on brand is a bit alarmist in terms of color theory. We should arguably ride the private browsing wave on this and try to pull of a dark theme of some sort. I think Design can help a lot here.

Excuse me， When to adapt swift 5.0？

I got an error from this script, when building, saying that it cannot find anything at ~/DuckDuckGo/Fonts/proximanova/. This path seems to be a Bundle path (visible inside the Xcode project), but it is not there on disk.

That aside, it tries to copy the fonts in this folder $SRCROOT/fonts/licensed. But the fonts are already there.

I don't know why you guys have this step, but to me, it seems unnecessary.

Hello,
I think it would be something great to add localizations to the app, I really miss it (French).
Plus, I think there should be a maintenance update, or some features added or ergonomic enhancements, as it is quite "repulsive" to see an app that has been last update in 2016! (I'm not saying that you're trash, hu, just telling that maybe, just maybe, a little maintenance won't hurt the app!

Thanks for reading guys, keep up the good work!

Hello developers,

This is a question related to your website, not iOS app.

May I ask where is your mystery unit converter(s)? And how can I summon it?

Yesterday, typing 1 foot to meters made your mystery unit converter show up. Today that's not working.

Would you please help make them available in easier way? The question to a good engineer is: if you have those things, why you make it extremely hard for the users to find them?

I think we should just call it DuckDuckGo? Thoughts?

Similar bug for the Android app, where this was already implemented: duckduckgo/Android#383

Using 7.24.0.

When visiting a website that requires Basic Authentication, you immediately get a 401 Unauthorized error.

Rotating the device when the tab switcher is shown may cause layout issues, with cells are not spanning across the available horizontal space.

Can an option be added to disable video autoplay?

I think we can remove the safari button. Presumably they are here for a different reason, not to open in Safari.

Could you please add this feature.

Hello,

I wanted to know if the next behavior is expected from the app or if it is a bug:

I downloaded the app, and when I opened it for the first time, I had no Internet connection. The screen that asks users to choose a theme (light or dark) did not appear.

I ask this question because I am able to change the app's theme when I am offline in settings. Thus, the screen asking users to choose a theme the first time they open the app should appear regardless if he/she has an Internet connection or not.

Thank you.

I’d like to be able to go straight into the relevant app when doing a !Bang search. For example, !q should take the user straight into the Quora app rather than display the mobile site.

It would be great to support 1Password natively within the app.

When restoring a tab from disk, only the current page is restored. The tab’s back-forward history is lost.

App version: 7.25.0.0
Device model: iPhone SE
iOS version: 12.4.1

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Open a new tab
2. Go to a page (say, a DuckDuckGo search)
3. Tap on a link (say, the first result)
4. Wait for the page to finish loading
5. Force-close the DuckDuckGo app
6. Reopen the DuckDuckGo app

Expected behavior:

• The app should open with a tab that allows one to go back (say, to the DuckDuckGo search)

Actual behavior:

• The app opens with a tab that shows the last seen page, but doesn’t allow one to go back or forward

If you think this is worth doing, I'd be happy to discuss an implementation strategy and work on a PR for this.

Description

First scenario:

1. Open a bunch of tabs.
2. Navigate to tabs switcher.
3. Select a tab I'm the middle.
4. Close a tab before it.

Expected: the selected tab still has the highlight.
Actual: the highlight moves to the next tab down and it becomes the newly selected tab

Second scenario:

1. Open a bunch of tabs.
2. Navigate to tabs switcher.
3. Select the last tab.
4. Close a tab before it.

Expected: the last tab still has the highlight.
Actual: the highlight drops off.

Goal

Duplicate Safari's behavior: Safari shows the navigation bars when you reach the bottom of a web page and try to scroll down more.
