OutPost 1.0 Build 9 is on TestFlight
Jim Mitchell 2 min readA big thanks goes out to @ilyess for reaching out and letting me know that OutPost was having challenges authorizing on sites that use IndieKey.id as a login identity. This has been fixed in both the macOS app (v1.2.1) and the latest TestFlight release (build 9).
What Changed
When you sign in, your site’s login page now sends you back through a web page at jimmitchell.dev, which then hands you to OutPost. It used to send you straight to the app. Some sign-in services, including IndieKey, refuse to send you straight to an app, so their users couldn’t sign in. They should be able to now.
What to Test
Sign in with a new account, especially if you use IndieKey or sign-in failed for you before. After you approve on your site, you should land back in OutPost and be signed in. If you get stuck on a page instead, tap its “tap here” link and tell me what happened.
Check accounts you’ve already added. They should keep working as before, with no need to sign in again.
Known Issue
If you switch to another site while writing a post, the formatting bar can disappear. I’m still working on it.
