Hi Aaron, Thanks for copying me in. The app is not deleted, just made private, I am still working on the app and initially targeting Android and iOS. I made it private because there is a lot to do and don't plan to release it for a while, so I wanted to avoid the possibility of people ripping i

FYI. I emailed Nic Carter and he responded with a cc: to Michael. In his second paragraph, he made these technical observations: //Given the rapid development of Apple’s frameworks on iOS, it’s hard to keep an app “up to date” and even compiling on iOS! I have looked a little at the situation

STEPBible is also on IOS. AFAIK it uses sword internally. and is open source. On Tue, Jan 14, 2025 at 6:47 AM Troy A. Griffitts wrote: > Hey guys, > > As Fr. Cyrille mentions, Bishop is available on iOS. > > Bishop builds Swift wrappers around the SWORD C++ engine and uses those > for delivery

Hey guys, As Fr.  Cyrille mentions, Bishop is available on iOS. Bishop builds Swift wrappers around the SWORD C++ engine and uses those for delivery of the cordova plugin for the SWORD library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-crosswire-sword This should already make available th

Bishop is very nice on iOS. I think rather than reassembling PocketSword concentrating on this and Ezra would be likely beneficial Bishop’s main downfall is that the search crashes it, something I should have reported ages ago, but did not so far. My bad. Peter Sent from

As a long-time PocketSword user, I am willing to contribute to this effort. I am fairly familiar with the PocketSword source code, having built it several times about 5 years ago. Even at the time, it was already in the realm of "legacy"; I could tell that it desperately needed to be ported over t

Today I tried out Bishop in my iPad Mini 4, following the suggestion that I try Bishop in case we lose PocketSword forever. Aside: The KJV module was already installed, but it needed to be updated. Afterwards, I installed the Daily Devotional module MCheyne from the Xiphos repo. M'Cheyne's Bib

Thanks for bringing that up, Greg. The only reason why Ezra Bible App is not available on iOS is my fear of the regular additional release / testing overhead. I even have iOS devices in the household. In general, it should be possible to build the app for iOS based on the frameworks/ technol

There is a long-standing misunderstood THML encoding of such references  in some old modules, including this one. Today I think thanks to the phasing out of ThML in CrossWire repos itself the issue is concentrated on Xiphos. Basically the behaviour you describe as working is unde

Thanks Peter, I think that would require someone to develop a bespoke script to convert mcheyne.dat to OSIS XML, not only to properly structure it as XML, but also to accurately convert each ThML scripRef element to OSIS, taking account of the special cases where the reference is for a range (w
