Interested in an unofficial Apple Watch app?

Hey man, I just got a weird email from
Apple about the app, not sure if
got it too:

I removed the ID, not sure if it could do some harm when shared. Let me know if you need it, happy to share it

All invited testers get the same email once in Review - nothing for you to do your end

Haha yes this is a side effect of how I was adding everyone to the app before. I’ll have to move us all over to being formal beta testers soon but am fine with y’all being along for the ride

Thanks for the great work, just joined the beta unable to login, keeps saying captcha required when I click in login. What am I doing wrong ?

I have a fix for the captcha handling but currently waiting for App Store review to release it. In the meantime, this can sometimes be fixed by logging in to your Porsche account from your phone, or waiting a day or so.

Thanks will wait it out, tried using safari and logged into my account from safari, didn’t help. Thanks again

As it's looking like App Review might take a minute, I'm uploading the latest build to TestFlight with subscriptions disabled for now so that the captcha fix can land. For those testing on iOS 17/watchOS 10, I've also switched the builds to use the newest beta SDKs so you should see some improvements on the betas New build should be up within the hour!

As part of this update, I've been working on adding support for more widget form factors, starting with showing charge rates in a new extended widget for the iPhone lock screen. You can play with the configuration in the widget simulator under Settings.

Which looks like this on the lock screen (yes, I know my at-home charging setup is depressing haha):

Or if you prefer a more minimalistic configuration, I've also tuned the inline widgets to use the custom Taycan icon now instead of the stock vehicle icon

Really enjoying this app thanks for putting all the time and dedication into it. Only thing I have noticed which isn’t a big deal is the watch complication. If it’s placed in the corner it cuts off the first range number when the range is in the triple digits.

@featherless - this looks great - thank you for your efforts! I still see v1.2 on testflight, though?

 

[electricsidecar]

Latest build for v1.2 (41) is now available on TestFlight. If you signed up via the beta link then a separate build will be available soon!

 

[IanG]

Hmm … this is what I’m seeing- not a big deal but seems to be an earlier version

 

[electricsidecar]

V1.2 45 is now available for beta testers

ahh ... thanks for explaining - I'll try to sign up - no problem b/c my car is en route to me, scheduled for delivery later this week - thank you!

and just saw the update's available on TF now - thanks!

Installed it yesterday. Took some time before the complications showed the % and range but this morning everything was displayed correctly. Don’t know why the info is different between the two faces. Because of the design of the watch face or the placement upper right vs lower ?
