What can I work on?

If you are looking for easy work, look at the tasks marked with the "Easy" tag. This phabricator workboard will show you all the "Easy" tasks in the iOS backlog.

If you are ready to pick up more difficult work, look at the iOS backlog and pick something from the Bug Backlog column. This workboard will show you all the tasks in the iOS backlog. If the status of the task is unclear or you need more information, feel free to leave a comment and we will try to respond as soon as possible.

If a task does not currently exist, please create a new task for the PR on for phabricator via the iOS backlog form. All changes to Wikipedia app’s repositories should be captured in tasks on Phabricator. This aids the team's engineers and product managers to evaluate the change and ensures it is properly reviewed as part of our QA processes.

Describe the motivation for the change:

  • Is this a new feature? Is this a bug?
  • If there was any discussion on wiki, please include a link.
  • Note whether there is any expected change in the user experience
  • A brief summary of the changes made.

I found my task. What next?

Now you want to let the team know what you are working on.

  1. In Phabricator, assign the task to yourself.
  2. Add the tag representing the current release to the task. This link will take you to currently open releases. Tagging your task with the name of the release will add it to the release board.
  3. On the release board, move the task to the "Doing" column.
  4. When you are done developing, move the task to the "Needs Code Review" column.

When a volunteer PR is created, one of the team's engineers will aim to acknowledge the receipt of the PR as soon as possible and provide any additional instructions in order to enable the team to review the patch. This should be as soon as is convenient and Apps Engineering will strive to acknowledge a patch in 5 working days.

Once the task has been created and triages the team will conduct a series of reviews during the next team sprint. Our team's sprints are two weeks long and the first round of feedback should ideally be completed in 28 days.

Non-user facing changes will be reviewed by the team's engineers. User facing changes will be reviewed by the team’s product manager, designer AND engineers:

  • The product manager will assess whether the proposed change aligns with our team's current feature priorities or longer term strategy.
  • The designer will assess whether the proposed change aligns with our team's design system or other design principles.
  • The engineers will provide code review to ensure that the change is free from bugs, aligns with our architecture and coding conventions, and doesn’t result in a degraded user experience.

Proposed changes will likely receive feedback from any or all of the above and so volunteers must be prepared to receive those and be willing to act on suggested improvements to the pull request. Please be aware that it is possible that your proposed changes will not be accepted into the application.

I don't want to work on my task any more.

You can let us know by unassigning the task and moving it back to the "Tasks from Product Backlog" column.

How will I know that my contribution was accepted?

If your task gets moved to the "Ready for PM Signoff" column, it means that your contribution will be included in the upcoming release.

ธันวาคม พ.ศ. 2566

  • We connected with Wiki Editoras Lx and joined their editathon December 16th to gather feedback about an alt-text Suggested Edit task on iOS. In preparation we made our feedback form automatically appear after a first edit to increase the feedback we receive. Attendees were generally positive about the prospect of the feature. Experienced editors thought it could be a good task for onboarding new editors, but also a more casual way of contributing for new editors. Attendees of the edit-a-thon expressed that editing alt-text on the Web is currently difficult because it takes you out of context of the article. There was also an expression of interest in the feature being brought to Android.
  • The team has started working on a refresh of the navigation of the app. As we start adding more features to the app it is becoming increasingly difficult to choose an appropriate entry point to surface to iOS app users. We invite you to be a part of our decision making process as we explore some changes to the app’s navigation.
  • The team made progress making the iOS app editor a native editor. This will improve the performance of editing within the app. In December we focused on formatting options in the new native editor.

พฤศจิกายน พ.ศ. 2566

Ahead of the December fundraiser, we updated campaign banners to ensure users have the ability to scroll on smaller screens (SE). T348695

  • The team’s Product Manager attended the Wiki GLAM Conference to get feedback on a Suggested Edits prototype that encourages users to add alt-text to images. The feature was well received by attendees qualitatively. Before proceeding with iterating and releasing the add alt-text feature to the iOS app, the alt-text added by attendees will be evaluated. Further details about the project are available at iOS Suggested edits project page.
  • We also fixed a crash that was occurring on Chinese Wikipedia when clicking account or donate. T348723
  • The team is currently working on updating the navigation of the app. We currently have two variants for an updated app navigation. We will be conducting user testing in the coming months to iterate on the new app navigation concepts. If you are interested in providing feedback on the new navigation of the iOS app, please reach out to ARamadan-WMF.

We are happy to bring Watchlist to the iOS app. You can now add articles to your watchlist to monitor the edits of Wikipedia articles you care about the most. You can access and, filter your watchlist through the Account option in your Settings. Read more about thus feature on the Watchlist project page.

The team ran user testing for a prototype of Suggested Edits on iOS, a microcontribution feature. The Suggested Edit type we are exploring allows contributors to add alt-text to images. You can read more about the project and the outcome of the user testing on the iOS Suggested Edits project page. After several requests to improve the donation flows in the app, the team made a number of changes:

  • Ability to pay using Native Apple Pay T288285
  • When using non-native methods of payment, users are taken to an in-app web view instead of their app browse T345851, T333108
  • Give potential donors more control over seeing campaign banners with the introduction of an option of Maybe Later or selecting I already donated T346823
  • Support multi-lingual campaigns in the app T347352
  • Ensure campaign language can be updated faster T348278
  • Sample campaign banner with new options to select Maybe Later or Already Donated

  • Its now possible to share sections of an article T345436
  • Bug fixes related to app navigation T347581 and T344005
  • The app should no longer freeze when swiping down and back up  T300321
  • With Apple’s release of iOS 17, we dropped support for iOS 14. T343038

In October the apps team held office hours. You can see the recap on our office hours page.

End of กันยายน พ.ศ. 2566 Update

The team created low fidelity mockups and a design clickable prototype for an exploration of bringing Suggested Edits to the iOS app. The first iOS suggested edit task we are exploring is to add alt-text to images.

We ran a consultation with Global Renamers to understand how we can improve the account deletion flow in the apps. This information was used to create a set of requirements, which will be implemented by a service team:

Must Haves:

  • Auto verify email and username association.
  • Requests with a verified email go directly to Special:GlobalRenameQueue and includes the user’s email and user name.
  • Requests to Global Rename Queue includes a note that the request is a deletion request from the app and rationale for the request.
  • Users that can not be verified by email and username should go to trust & safety.
  • This can be handled app-side for the purpose of the apps team but if this has to serve web and apps needs for account deletion then the web flow would need to account for this (perhaps via something like a Special:ContactForm).

Nice to Have :

  • Auto account deletion (renaming) for users with:
    • Zero edits.
    • Zero Actions.
    • No active blocks (by Account or by IP).
    • DEPENDENCY: In order for this to take place an additional consultation would have to take place with the broader community because it requires a modification to community renaming policy.

กันยายน พ.ศ. 2566, Special Mid Month Update

Watchlist on iOS is available to test via Test Flight. You can go to the Apple App store and download the testflight app and join Beta Testing for the Wikipedia iOS app. Once you’ve downloaded the Wikipedia app through test flight, add at least one article to your watchlist via the more button in the bottom toolbar. If you already have items in your Watchlist and you are logged into your account you can access your Watchlist by going to Settings → Account → Watchlist. Feel free to leave feedback on the Watchlist project discussion page.

มิถุนายน พ.ศ. 2566

We have successfully launched Release 7.3.0 (2242) (T337792). In this new release, we have made improvements to the user interface and the overall performance of the iOS app.

  • To ensure smooth navigation and usability, we have adjusted the interface to present a warning for semi-protected pages earlier in the process before edit mode (T313772).

The following are designs for two scenarios:

Editor taps to edit a fully-protected page:

  • Editor taps to edit a semi-protected page
    Editor taps to edit a semi-protected page
  • Editing screens open with an alert
    Editing screens open with an alert
  • Tapping 'Ok' brings the editor to the editing screen that is disabled

  • Enhancements have been made to the Picture of the Day and Top Read widgets, which now fetch data independently from Wikifeeds, ensuring consistent performance and data availability (T327554, T327556).
  • We have created guidelines to standardize the colors used across the app, resulting in improved UI consistency and accessibility (T299793).
  • We have addressed theme switching issues that surfaced in the user talk revision history and the Link editor, ensuring that these elements now adapt correctly to all theme variations (T330320, T326207).
  • We have also optimized the app's launch time. This was achieved by simplifying the state restoration process and reducing the number of navigation modals, thereby significantly enhancing the user experience (T337073).
  • We also introduced a new feature flag in the client app for the watchlist feature. This provides a safeguard for rollback without affecting other work. Flag checks are in place at key points including the watchlist, diff view, and article view entries (T336200)
  • This month we also examined design component patterns with emphasis on theming, font application, automatic updates for dark mode/dynamic type changes, and integration with UIKit and SwiftUI. After finalization, we provided guidelines for design requirements, focusing on defining inputs and outputs (T329329).

พฤษภาคม พ.ศ. 2566

  • In May, our team successfully rolled out version 7.2.2 of the application, which included performance improvements ( T335077, T335075, T335134). We released 7.3.0 to Beta testers which includes performance improvements to widgets and the last of our edit notices work (/T337792#8935018) .
  • We have also been investigating and testing a solution for a bug that can cause our app to freeze, potentially due to outdated offline reading code (T336804). The fix will go out in release 7.3.1.
  • Further, we are enhancing our native source editor to facilitate full page source editing (T331936).

เมษายน พ.ศ. 2566

  • We fixed some issues with background crashes and long app launch times. These will be released in version 7.2.2 in May. Extra thanks to all of the users who helped us troubleshoot this! T335077 T335075 T335134
  • We worked on technical debt surrounding widgets, to make them more stable. T327553

  • Talk pages have been fully released to the App Store. As we conclude this first version of talk pages we are recruiting experienced Wikipedia contributors with iOS devices to participate in a multilingual survey (Arabic, German, English, Chinese (Simplified)). If you are interested in participating you can use the survey. If you have any questions email otichonova@wikimedia.org; thank you!
