Wow, it is a big PR. Has anyone tested it / is using it successfully daily?

Has anyone tested it / is using it successfully daily?

I tested it today – but my conclusion is, that its not "production ready" yet. Some key functionalities of the Gas Mask App are not working. I think the to-dos in #202 need to be addressed, too.

I tried it first with the configured Target platform settings (11.0) and with the most recent once (13.1) – the later giving me actually better results on an Apple Silicon platform.

• MacBook Air M2
• macOS 13.3 (b) Beta (22E7752300g)
• Xcode Version 14.2 (14C18)

Functionality + GUI issues

• Good news first: this version adds support for #90 - although buggy (see below)
• Sometimes the "Combine Hosts"-selection is missing
  • Might relate to Xcode Warnings with HostsListView.m, listed below
• A "Combined" file does not show any (combined) content --> yet I think an existing combined hosts works technically
• A "Remote" hosts file is not being displayed properly
  • e.g. after adding, an infinite "spinner"-icon is displayed (stuck downloading the file?)
  • upon App restart, a remote Hosts is rendered empty… and not refetching or alike
• Also I think the release is not properly updating Version information etc. (e.g. still "0.8.6").
• Tested the changes of 2 PRs and those both seem to work flawlessly – and could be merged IMHO:
  • #162
  • #193

Thank you @oliveratgithub for testing. To be fair the current code in master does not work at all.

I will try to review it all.

[lockieluke]

merge this!

Hi @2ndalpha Is there something we can do to help the process of getting the Apple Silicon version out. I see some testing is required and maybe some fixes. Please advise as it seems you placed you self in the eye of the storm and wanted to review :-D

[2ndalpha]

@tlogik I can review and test PR-s. The changes would need to be as small as possible. This PR is huge and if the author does not have to fix the issues then there is no real way to move forward with it. Unfortunately I don't have time to actively develop it.
