traccar-manager-ios's Issues

Can’t log in if another auth layer is used (Cloudflare Access)

Describe the bug
If I enable Cloudflare Access as an additional layer of security on my instance, the app says it can’t connect to the server. Because the app just shows the web interface, I would expect it to show my cloudflare login screen and allow me to log in before displaying the Traccar interface.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make your instance publicly accessible using Cloudflare DNS
2. In the cloudflare zero trust panel, set up your subdomain as a self hosted application and set up auth
3. Open Traccar in a browser. You’ll see the cloudflare login screen first, after which the Traccar login screen will show.

Expected behavior
The app should show the extra login screen, rather than complain that the site doesn’t look like Traccar and refuse to show anything

Show spinner when logging-in

I just tried logging in on a slow cellular connection (normally I am on WiFi, or 3G/4G).

There was a 3-4 second delay between me tapping "Login" and the login occurring.

I think it would be nice if a loading spinner appeared after the user taps "Login", so that it is obvious that something is happening.

Xcode and Swift version

What are the minimun Xcode and Swift versions that can i use to compile the traccar manager ios.

Thank you.

Enable sound notifications

Possibly use mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction property.

"ERROR" Incorrect email address or password"

If I point safari on my Mac at http://89.242.7.83:8082 it will log in using my email and password without any issues. I have tried Traccar Manager on all of these 4 servers;
http://demo.traccar.org
http://demo2.traccar.org
http://demo3.traccar.org
http://demo4.traccar.org
But each time I get "ERROR" Incorrect email address or password"
I have deleted the app and re installed it between attempts.
Im guessing this is me doing something wrong but I can't work out what?

Login screen layout on 3.5" iPhone screens

Email and password fields are obscured by keyboard, logo is pushed up off the top of the view.

Feature Request for a Locate Button to solve location not updating when ran in background on IOS

To implement a page refresh button on the Modern app under the right hand column of other buttons to update the app with device locations with a title ‘Locate’ or something similar. When the button is pressed it refreshes the page and the up to date locations are now shown. This could resolve the issue of when the app is running in the background and then brought back to foreground the latest locations are not shown. This problem can be reproduced on Traccar Manager by having a connected device online, then putting the app in the background and turning off Wi-Fi to simulate a connection drop. When going back into the App the devices aren’t updated with current data ie ignition/positions ect. until force closing the app and re-loading.

iOS App does not scale with change in screen orientation.

Hi Guys...the iOS app does not scale with a change in screen orientation. The app has to be closed out and reopened with the new orientation.

Default Map Center on Login

When logging in or opening the application again it would be nice to have the default map action be to auto center on devices.

Search for a devices

Currently there is no way to search for a device. I propose adding a search field to the top of the devices list view.

When the user enters text in this field, the devices list would filter to display only the devices with names matching the search query.

This would allow the user to quickly find a device, but would only be useful for users with more than around 8-10 devices in the list.

Show device location history

Currently there is no way to show the location history for a device.

I would like to be able to see the track that the device has taken over some time period (for example, the last hour, last 12 hours, current day, ...).

I propose adding the option to view location history for a device, as a track on a map. Initially, to keep the UI simple, I would suggest that the user drills down into a device, then selects a predefined time period from a "History" list. A map view with the location history of the device is then shown.

App logs out and gives error after interfal. Invalid signature - SecurityException (CryptoManager:76 < TokenManager:77 < LoginService:65 < ...)

Describe the bug
On all IOS devices we use Traccar Manager app on Traccar logs out and gives this error: Invalid signature - SecurityException (CryptoManager:76 < TokenManager:77 < LoginService:65 < ...) Then I need to log in again and after sometime or server reboot te error comes back. Nothing in the logs to trace.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Traccar Manager on Iphone
2. Look at screen
3. See error

Expected behavior
Dont log out and dont give error, or give clear discription of error reason.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Iphone 13 Pro
• OS: IOS 17.3
• Traccar Server 5.12

Add map to device info view

Currently, I have to zoom to all devices on the map, and then tap each pin until I find the device I want, then pinch-to-zoom to that device. This is a bit awkward.

I propose adding a third section at the bottom of the device info section (beneath "Device" and "Position"). This section would be titled "Map" and contain a street map, centered on the device's most recent position.

This view would be useful for me to quickly find a device on the map.

Problem when i try to create an ipa archive

Hi, when i try to create an ipa file i get this message:

The selected team does not have a program membership that is eligible for this feature. If you need assistance, please contact Apple Developer Program Support. https://developer.apple.com/support
No profiles for 'org.traccar.TraccarManager' were found: Xcode couldn't find a provisioning profile matching 'org.traccar.TraccarManager'.

App can't get user's location

Describe the bug
The app cannot get the user's location to show it on the map along with tracked devices.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the map in a browser
2. Click on the location arrow
3. The user's location is shown on the map
4. Open the app
5. Click on the location arrow
6. The user's location is never shown

Expected behavior
The user's location pointer should be shown on the map, as if it was accessed through a browser.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone 13 (had the same issue on my XR)
• OS: iOS 15.1.1
• Version 2.7

Additional context
iOS requires the user to approve location permissions. The Traccar Manager app never asks for those permissions.

Version 1.0 release

I have uploaded version 1.0 to the store. Let's see if Apple approves it. Most likely they will request some more details about the app and how it works.

I have fixed the issue on iPhone 4S again. Pull the changes from master to sync your fork.

License headers are added to the source files. If you add any more files, please add similar header.

@wpearse, thanks for contributing to this project.

For the next release I want to think about adding more features to the app (to be on par with web interface) and unifying interface as much as possible between web, Android and iOS. If you are interested, I can come up with some wire-frames for the UI.

View device info after tapping on device map pin

At the moment:

• When you tap a device map pin a callout appears showing the device name and address (if available).
• You can only view device info by tapping "Devices", then tapping the device name in the list.

I propose adding an info button on the right-hand side of the callout, that when tapped would show the device info screen. This behaviour would be similar to the Apple Maps app, where you tap a pin, then tap the info button in the callout to view a detail information screen about the location.

Can not connect to websocket

Can not connect to websocket using WebService class. Have running Traccar server at http://188.120.235.97:8082/. After calling WebService().authenticate readyState of socket is "CONNECTING", never "OPEN".

Add login functionality

The app should allow users to login with their email address and password to a Traccar server. It would be great if the server URL was customisable.

iOS 12.5.5: app shows blank screen in Modern UI

Describe the bug
On 07.08.22 the Traccar Manager on iOS was switched to Modern UI.
I usually used Old UI since I dislike Modern UI and also the App seemed to not work properly in Modern UI.
But on that date the App was forcibly switched to Modern UI.

Then the App's screen became blank & did not react on any taps.
I reinstalled the App, logged in.
Then see this:

If I press the green button on the left - I see a list of devices.
Assume I selected some device.
End.
I see a blank screen.

If I unload the App (swipe up from a bottom), then I see a login screen again.
Then the same scenario is repeated.

• Device: iPhone 5S
• OS:12.5.5

[Future request] Android/iOS manager app multiple server support

Hello Anton,

We really love Traccar, so much that we have multiple servers running.
Is it possible to add the option to switch between servers in the Android and iOS app?

The only way to switch at the moment is to uninstall and install the app.

Best regards,
Sam

Add remember login

Remember login is missing

Save password

On the login screen it would be nice to have a checkbox to allow users to save their passwords.

Push notifications

Hi. I see this thread -> #32
I followed this tutorial and even then I don't get notifications. Perfectly added the GoogleService-Info.plist but they don't come. Does APNS have anything to do with it?

Change map type

I'd like to be able to change the map type -- from satellite, satellite and street, and street map types.

how to change map type to Google Satellite Maps with api key

Hi,
how to change to google satellite maps with api key, which code shoult i replace with https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/ in https://github.com/tananaev/traccar-manager-ios/blob/master/TraccarManager/MapViewController.swift

Build Issue from GoogleDataTransport

When I build the project, I keep receiving errors from GoogleDataTransport. I am using El Capitan with Xcode 8.2 and Swift 3.0. Does anyone have experienced this before or have a solution? Thanks in advance.

See all devices

One user reported that he can see all devices even if logged in user doesn't have them. I suspect there is some problem when you login as one user and then re-login as different, you still see devices of the original user.

IOS App with version 5.0 not updating location

Launch IOS App and validate that modern interface is displayed.

Select a device from the devices menu.

Compare device on IOS to web interface.

Vehicle lags several seconds to + minutes behind active tracking on the web interface.

Vehicle location does not update when reselecting the unit.

App does eventually refresh but tracking does not appear to be as aggressive as old version.

When selecting a unit in version 5.0 the unit does not stay in focus when leaving the map.

In version 5.0 modern interface when a unit is selected from the devices menu - the unit does not continue to track of the unit leaves the map boundaries displayed. Reselecting the unit recenters focus.

There is no option in either the web interface the mobile to pin a unit for continuous tracking as the unit moves (or i'm unable to locate it).

Consider IOS usage scenarios

Upgrade to server 5.0.

In the traccar manager client under server 5.0 the new modern interface is drawn. When rendering on the screen unit access is not immediately available. To access a unit a user must click the menu, select the unit, then the back arrow. This makes it very hard on a mobile standpoint to scroll through units in an efficient fashion.

Practical example - we use traccar to follow ambulances across a county. In the pre 5.0 version a table of units was drawn on the screen. This allows a someone operating a supervisors vehicle to very quickly navigate between units and see their location on the map and follow them if it became necessary.

Suggestions:

When selecting unit from the menu immediately return to the map.
Enable the expanded table as the full web interface has.

Push Notification

Hi Anton, How are you?
I really liked the Traccar manager apps (IOS & Android) for mobile, you did a great job.
Are you planning to add Push Notification support for the Alarms?

Thanks

Push notifications

Hi there!,

I already downloaded source manager app for ios. Also added GoogleService-Info.plist file to the application. My firebase project server key is already added at conf.xml file in my own server instance.

When I run from Xcode the application (regardless my own iPhone or emulator) there is not a Modal screen requesting permissions for "allow notifications". Server address screen appears, I type my own server instance domain and everything goes normal so far. Neither a notificationToken is added to my user's attributes.

Is there something i'm missing here?

Thanks in advance
