Keka iOS

[ghost]

Hello developer,

can you create a iOS app? Maybe in the future possibe?

No specific plans right now.

@aonez iOS 13 introduced native .zip handling in the File App. Wondering if you can just port the engine in Objective-C to iOS.

The UI can be as simple as a single page of toggles.

Compress and Decompress can use system sharing option between apps, UI is not necessary, placing a pop up for that would be sufficient, and keep updating the Notification API for progress update.

Primarily, I want 7zip to work well on iPadOS

I'm hoping to start the iOS project after final 1.2.0 version is released. No timeline though.

Hi @aonez, I just found an app named Keka for iOS.

Interestingly the developer of the app in the AppStore 航磊侯 mentions the Copyright to be © Keka, also the icon is based on the original Keka:

I assume this is no official app related to your work? I guess this is no permitted copy?

[aonez]

Thanks @jan-patrick, obviously this is not legit. Incredible how some people just use names and icons.

[aonez]

@jan-patrick they've already complied and changed the icon and removed the Keka wording. Thanks again for the tip 🤗

[aonez]

The response from the creators of that application in Github:

[aonez]

It's happening: https://ios.keka.io

[jan-patrick]

It is officially available in the AppStore:https://apps.apple.com/de/app/keka/id6443677513?l=en

@jan-patrick mail me at [email protected] if you want some codes to get Keka for iOS 🤗

[jan-patrick]

Thank you, @aonez, but I happily bought it already (preordered to be exact). You’re doing great work, and I’m happy to spread the word therefor! 🙏

I bought it as well 🎉
