  67. Maranda somehow finds having a good XMPP client on iOS to be "utopistic".

  83. intosi

    Maranda: why?

  84. Tobias

    what's mainly missing is a PUSH standardization, and that's being worked on by Lance et al. IIRC

  85. intosi

    True.

  86. Ge0rG

    Tobias: what is also missing is a privacy-convenience slider rule

  87. Tobias

    with an image in the middle that fades between EFF and NSA, the more left the slide the more EFF shines through, the more right the slider and the NSA logo dominates?

  88. intosi

    But even without push, all clients I tested so far have show-stopping issues, such as not being able to connect to a site not offering SSLv3 (only TLSv1+), or crashing at random, or weird set-up, or only functioning as a foreground app.

  89. Tobias

    intosi, where have you seen that SSLv3 thing? on iOS?

  90. intosi

    Tobias: iOS 7 on my iPad, with Monal IM.

  91. intosi

    Other clients can connect to that same server, only Monal refuses. It does want to connect to the same setup with SSLv3 enabled.

  92. Tobias

    hmm..wonder if they are using apple's high security TLS implementation, instead of something interoperability proven like openssl :)

  93. Tobias

    http://monal.im/ wonder how it does both, connect directly and stay open in the background

  94. intosi

    Haven't tried that bit, so no idea if it does.

  95. Tobias

    IIRC Kev mentioned one has to trick around to have even a short background time (i.e. 15 min) on iOS

  96. Ge0rG

    there is only one way to comment on this: goto fail;

  97. Ge0rG

    iOS allows long-running background tasks for voip and some others

  106. Maranda

    Tobias, Monal just doesn't, after the BG task execution hits the timeout it'll disconnect

  107. Maranda

    at least that's how it behaved when I tried it.

  108. Tobias

    Maranda, ahh..ok

  109. Ge0rG

    iOS XMPP clients belong into one of two groups: usability-broken or security-broken

  110. Tobias

    can't they have both broken?

  111. intosi

    Tobias: I'm sure they can.

    Ge0rG has a refreshing way of saying how things are. Nice to have you more involved with the XSF Ge0rG.

  116. Ge0rG

    simon: nobody is served by keeping the truth hidden...

  117. Maranda

  118. Maranda

  119. Maranda would add also "or plainly-broken"

  120. Maranda

    I have got reports from users of clients on the AppStore which don't work at all.

    Looking at http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0059.html there seems to be a crazy number of SHOULDs in there that have no business not being MUSTs.
