Home Assistant iOS app not available in App Store

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple

As they said, its completely on Apple now.

Just to give an update on this, there has been two builds released to private beta testers. The first one had a crash during launch, and the next one had an error that prevented logging in to Home Assistant during setup. It’s good that we caught this ahead of time, but it delayed things a little bit further than expected. Obviously it should not be released to the App Store until these issues are fully resolved first.

Robbie has an extremely busy day job and can only work on this at night. And the process to put out a new beta build takes him several hours each time (compiling the app, uploading to Apple, etc). He stayed up past 3AM last night waiting for things to process on Apple’s side. There’s an amazing new contributor Zac who’s been helping out in a huge way also.

Smart contributors are on this issue and everyone is doing the best they can to get it back on the App Store as quickly as possible. Fingers crossed for this next upcoming build. Just want everyone to know there’s been a lot of activity on this behind the scenes, please have patience :slight_smile:

Edit: the newest build is looking very promising and stable so far, so I think it’s close.
