iOS 16 Compatibility Update

Thanks for your support!

IMPORTANT iOS 15 UPDATE!

Devices running iOS 15 above would see a weird off-white-ish coloured box on the top left corner of the widget, and that’s just horrible. I’ve seen it too, and it perplexed my as to why it occurs. I hated it as well, and understood that it would ruin the Sunlight experience…

After lengthy sessions of debugging, somehow it’s due to the moon. When the moon is outside of the viewable area during specific periods of time, it is technically still rendered, just off the widget. In iOS 15, the moon comes at us as a weird box on the top, when that happens.

Very sorry that I only found the fix now. Felt rather bad for that, actually. I hope this update makes up for it… I’ve checked if the moon should be rendered at all, based on viewable widget boundaries, fixing the issue.

Also, would like to update a little on the future of Sunlight. A few months back, I’ve started rewriting parts of the code that shows the in-depth information - like when you click a location in app. That should improve scrolling performance, as version 1’s code isn’t the most refined. Some features like filtering only certain periods of time, like only sunrise/set on the widget, is also planned. That update might take a while though, as I juggle between life and Sunlight’s development.

As always, hope you enjoyed using Sunlight, and please do have an awesome day ahead!
