Hello 3Speak & Hive community members,

With this post, I am going to share updates on 3Speak Mobile App development.

## 3Speak Mobile App - minor update - v1.2.3 Release

- I recently rolled out a new version v1.2.3 on both Google Play Store & Apple's AppStore.
- Following list describes the set of changes which were implemented in new version
- ✅ Bug Fixed - Login with HiveAuth - Trim white spaces at the beginning and at the end. It was reported by @arcange
- ✅ Bug Fixed - When cancelling broadcast transaction, app shows infinite loading indicator. Reported by @arcange (When operations (like upvotes) are declined (sign_nack), the app displays it as an error (which it's not) and stays idle with the spinning wheel forever. This should be better managed.)
- ✅ UI Improvement - Once user is logged in via HiveAuth, no need to show QR codes for transactions like upvote & comment.
- ✅ UI Improvement - QR Codes where-ever displayed, must be tappable

## 3Speak.tv website changes

- Updated link of iOS App with Apple's AppStore link to download iOS App.
- Updated link of Android App with Google PlayStore link to download Android App.
- https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-frontend/pull/6
- https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-frontend/pull/8

## 3Speak - Video posting automation

- Mobile app users have to come back to app & manually publish the video.
- To avoid this, I've added a script which will automate the posting of the video.
- As soon as video encoding is complete, video will be published by 3Speak on behalf of user.
- This will happen only if user has given posting authority to 3Speak.
- This script went through intense review process
- https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-frontend/pull/7
- Finally it was approved by @vaultec.
- I thank him for his rigorous code review, guidance & support.

## 3Speak - Video Status update automation

- Some mobile users, while publishing the video misses the step to publish the video.
- Due to this video stays in `publish_manual` state & stays in invisible state.
- Number of users encountered issue & reported it.
- @offgridlife & some other users faced it.
- I wrote a script, which will check videos, which are published on hive, but status is not correct. Script will take care of correcting the status of the published videos.

## 3Speak <=> @ecency integration

- I've been in touch with adesojisauljay & @good-karma
- I was involved in resolving their doubts, enhancing the APIs to support different use-cases to implement 3Speak within Ecency
- https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-studio/pull/13
- I have also enhanced the API to support users who have logged in with Hive-Signer.
- Changes suggested by @ecency are deployed & I am eagerly waiting for 3Speak on Ecency.

## 3Speak App - Customised Version for @arcange

- For Berlin Event, @arcange needed a special build
- I worked on the feedback quickly & provided him the build.
- I thank him for the witness vote he has given & I am committed to more & more.
