3Speak - Mobile App Updates - iOS Native App with SwiftUI

Hello Hive & 3Speak Community members,

With this post, allow me to share some updates on 3Speak Mobile app.

Background

With Flutter, we have several issues & limitation on Video player

Changing orientation causes video play from beginning
Full screen has several issues on Android
Background Video player not working properly
Picture in Picture mode not supported
Chrome cast, AirPlay not supported
On Android, most of the videos, only play sound & shows black screen
Video playback speed changes related issues
Video player crash
Issues while playing 3Shorts videos
Video player doesn’t support subtitles
Upgrading 3rd party video player library may cause several issues
We’re using multiple 3rd party video libraries to play videos & shorts for iOS & Android
With those many issues, I kept thinking on what needs to be done.

At the moment, we are doing a lot of refactoring and making open source contribution.
With acela-core, SpkNetwork is trying to keep the back-end code completely open-source.
With GraphQL, Any one can use queries & use it in their DApp.
Such Massive refactoring work also made me think about the refactoring mobile app.
I am already re-writing the most of the screens with GraphQL & Acela-core, why not native?
So, I worked on a separate code-base/repository to build the native app for iOS users.
