It would be nice to have the projects ordered by last build time on the website.
A slightly more compact start page/projects page design would help to get a better overview. Right now I see only two projects in a maximized browser window. And because of the previous point, the first two projects are not the ones I’m currently working on.
It would be good to see the last build time on the mobile website, so I know if the latest changes are included.
I don’t need notifications for every build, but I’d be interested in having notifications on error.
Is any of this planned?
Also, the website is sometimes a bit slow/unresponsive, especially when looking at logfiles. It’s not a big issue, but this (and the long build times) makes it a bit harder to debug build problems.
Hi @any_user ! This is great stuff, thanks for sharing.
Project view: ordered by ‘recently built’ would indeed be very useful. We also think a tighter design is the right direction for that page. Just curious: Would you say you visit that page more frequently on mobile device or on a desktop machine?
Build time stamp on mobile: definitely.
Notifications: Yes, we have a lot of feedback in this area. I’m interested to hear your thoughts: Which of these options sounds the most useful:
Per project notification on / off
Global notifications on / off for both success / fail
More collaborator / team member roles, with non-developer roles not getting any notifications at all
Site speed: OK, good to know. If you notice it bogging down frequently and impacting your work, please file a support ticket, and we’ll use that to follow up.
I visit the page more often on mobile as soon as a project is set up properly. I set up a project on the computer, but as soon everything is working I have not often a reason to go to the website except for downloading builds, which I normally do on mobiles. If UCB would support standalone builds, it would probably be a bit different.
On mobile I think it’s not a big issue that the page doesn’t give a good overview, because the only thing I do there is downloading the most recent build. Just on a computer browser I’d love to have a better overview.
I personally only would activate global notfications for failed builds, but I can imagine per project overrides for these settings could be useful.
What would be the use case for a non-developer user? If I understand right, we anyway can send builds to testers without login with the sharing functionality, which seems a good solution. If you ask me, I’d rather put time into support of more platforms to make UCB a fast an powerful build platform instead of starting to rebuild testflight sharing mechanisms.
Counter for the number of times a build has been installed (devices) / played (webplayer)?
Local timestamps!
A flag or enum dropdown we can populate with states, i.e. so we can flag “Last Good Build”, “Serious Issues”. We had a bug recently which caused all sorts of problems and was present in several builds…with no way to distinguish those builds, and if you want to look at a working historic build you have to go through them all to find which are affected (and there’s no way to hide or remove the bad ones from the list).
On the web-linked Install landing pages, could we have the first few lines (or even just the opening line) of the Change log displayed; just enough for an at-a-glance summary?
