I use this for hacking battle cats as it is safer than other methods, it is smooth and works well for iOS. I still suck at battle cats :( this is very helpful though!!!

프로그램이 코드를 한번 입력하고 나니깐 다시 깔아야 작동되고 다음부터 작동이 안되어요

프로그램이 오류를 이르켜 한번 작동 되고 그뒤로 다시깔지 않는 이상 작동이 안됌 오픈소스라 이해는 하나 수정 부탁합니다

I'm sorry but I don't fully understand the problem you're having. Would you mind sending a more detailed description using any of the options listed in the "help" command: e-mail (another_shell@icloud.com), Bluesky (@a-shell-ios.bsky.social), github (https://github.com/holzschu/a-shell/issues) and Discord (https://discord.gg/cvYnZm69Gy). The Discord server has users that are fluent in Korean, which might help.

Top!

Vielen Dank an den Entwickler. Wir brauchen mehr von diesen Tools, damit man das Apple Zeugs mal sinnvoll nutzen kann 😉

Flaws: Cant tap to move cursor when using terminal history, does't autoscroll down when using ffmpeg

Trying it out sinch ISH hasn't been
updated in a while. SSH and Ffmpeg are installed here by default, the main things I use the phone terminal on ish for, converting media and sshing though a terminal because It feels better than using the "moden" interface terminal apps use, not many extra pkgs available like ish which has thousands since its alpine, but its a very smooth and easy experience here. Upside here is the file system is always visible, the other app it only shows up when the app is open and if clicked through the app, its much easier to add files to the folder for this app.

You can install nnn to make file browsing easier. Connecting by sftp/scp works but lacks autofill which is slightly annoying

Overall amazing

This is a really good app. I love it. Just one issue, nano in ssh doesn’t seem to scale properly and it displays weirdly, when I try to delete things where my cursor is isn’t actually where it’s deleting (this is in ssh). Apart from that, this app really push the limits of iOS. I am amazed by the fact that I can just start a python http server and other devices can connect to it. The ssh is really easy to use. I understand that apple has heavy restrictions on code execution so that (full) package management cannot be implemented and we can’t execute UNIX apps. But overall really impressive.

The battle cats.

I’ve seen a tutorial on YouTube that came out like last year on how to hack the game. I copied everything but it was a little different than what he was doing and I couldn’t do anything about it. Just wondering if I could get some help. But overall I like the idea of the app

New UI is confusing

Very confused by the new multi-arrow buttons on iPhone. They don’t seem to do anything. Am I doing something wrong?

$ pip check
curl-cffi 0.15.1 has requirement cffi>=2.0.0, but you have cffi 1.17.1.

$ pip install --upgrade cffi
Successfully installed cffi-2.0.0

$ pip check
cffi 2.0.0 is not supported on this platform

Thanks for raising this issue. Despite what "pip check" says, curl-cffi still works. You should remove the cffi-2.0 that you installed in order to go back to the pre-installed version.
