Shukofukurou for macOS 3.4 Beta 2 Released

By

The 2nd beta for Shukofukurou for macOS 3.4 is now released, which fixes a few bugs. We will be releasing a stable release of Shukofukurou for macOS soon, so stay tuned for that.

The change log is below. The 2nd beta will be in the AppCast soon, but you can download it here. Like with beta releases, it runs separately from the stable release.

Change log is below.

Bug Fixes and Enhancements

  • Fixed Manga Search in MyAnimeList
  • Fix Trending Manga for MyAnimeList

Private Lists on MyAnimeList

Private Lists are now fixed in the official MyAnimeList API. There is no need to update the apps to make this work. The lists should now load properly in our apps now even with the privacy settings set to Private. Note that this only applies to your list and you may not be able to see other people’s list through the Profile Browser.

Shukofukurou for iOS 2.0.6 is now Released

By

Shukofukurou for iOS 2.0.6 is now available on the App Store. This release fixes two bugs, which includes the manga search functionality not working on MyAnimeList and the progress steppers. You can update to this release of the App Store.

Additionally, we will begin work in 2.1, which will add some refinements. This includes the Airing/Publishing filter as a pseudo status filter on the status filter. This status will not be available for modifying entries. Additionally, I plan to add 3D-Touch actions for the entries as Apple has now added support for trackpad support. It will have the same actions as the swipe cells do.

Shukofukurou for macOS 3.4 Beta 1 Now Released

By

February has been a busy week. While I haven’t made much updates on the main websites, I kept my active Patrons posted as we didn’t have stable internet access until the middle of February. Now, Shukofukurou for macOS 3.4 Beta 1 is now released, which adds the update history, fixes a few bugs and make some changes to the adult content filter, required to meet Apple’s App Store Guidelines. However, non-app store versions can still view adult content and disable the filter by enabling the “Show 18+ Content” option in the settings. The update is uploaded to the Github Repo, but should be added to the Shukofukurou Next Appcast for automatic updates.

The change log is below.

New Features

  • Added Local Update History

Bug Fixes and Enhancements

  • Stream Links button shouldn’t appear until the data is loaded.
  • Implement content filtering to filter out mature content to comply with Apple’s Guide Lines. Non-App Store version can still view filtered content by enabling Show 18+ Content setting
  • Various fixes

Now I have received some questions regarding Hachidori and I will answer them.

I can’t see the Hachidori Icon, but it’s prompting me to login. Is the app working properly?

Yes. macOS will hide additional icons if you have too many icons on your menubar. This is common when you are using a lower resolution or make the text/UI elements bigger if you have a retina screen Mac. Note that all the functionality happens as a menuitem and you may need to remove some icons on the menubar or close the associated apps. If you can’t do that, I highly suggest using an app called Bartender which allows you to hide menu bar icons to a special area. Note that this is a shareware app and we do not provide support for it.

How do I use Plex detection with shared libraries?

You direct the URL to the plex server you are sharing and login with your Plex credentials. You shouldn’t need special privileges to use the Plex XML API used on a shared server. You may need to enable the “Allow Plugins” permission under Restrictions for the user.

How do I enable MultiScrobble?

You need a donation license to enable this feature or be an active Patron and use a Patron license key. Once you enter a donation key, you can enable this feature under Preferences and select which accounts to use for MultiScrobble. Note that the account needs to be logged in for the services you enable with this feature.

This applies to all apps:

I use AniList and none of the functions works. What gives?

Note that AniList OAuth tokens only last a year with no refresh token. This means you have to log out and log back in. In future versions, we will add a feature that allows you to simply reauthorize your account and prompt you for that. Note that when you reauthorize the account once this feature is implemented, it must be the same account or it will fail.

Shukofukurou for iOS/macOS and Objectionable Content Changes

By

Just recently, Apple has rejected a bug fix release of Shukofukurou for iOS because of objectionable content (pornographic content). While the titles they provide as examples are not exactly classified as adult content, Apple has strict guidelines when it comes to content ratings.

Since our app is rated 12+, this poses an issue with titles that contain “ecchi” or even Hentai in the title. As a result, I have to implement a filter to filter “gray area” titles so that Apple will be happy in regards to the App Store guidelines. Note that the non-App Store version of Shukofukurou will not have these changes as long as the “Show Adult Content” preference item is checked.

While you cannot search or browse gray area titles, you will still be able to edit entries that contain objectionable content and they will still appear in your library. However, when you view more information, you will only see your entry as it appears in your list, no additional information. Share and “View on (Service)” options will be disabled. To add adult and gray area content, use the macOS non-app store version or add the title on the respective service from your web browser.

This release for iOS will be available on TestFlight soon for testing and will be released in a few days. Also, I apologize for having to make these changes. Blame Apple’s App Store guidelines for these changes.

Shukofukurou for macOS 3.4 Alpha 3 is now Released

By

Now with Shukofukurou for iOS now released, we will begin to finish Shukofukurou for macOS 3.4. The third alpha release fixes the stream links now that the new web service to retrieve them is now live. We will implement the history  next. However, there won’t be any history syncing until we can come up with a reliable way to sync them between all devices.

To download the third alpha, view the product page. We will be adding the release to the Appcast for in-app software updates soon. Note that prerelease versions of Shukofukurou for macOS runs independently from the stable release.
