Python dev against Swift, Apple Reviews, Telegram bugs and App haters, trying to make it Nice. At least tried…
Download Telegram
Few days ago new bug was found in iOS 13. Some symbols cause apps/system crash. Telegram users were abusing it and I was also affected.

Starting from build 5.12.2 (980), Nicegram will have an option in System settings to clear cache (it’s similar to “Reset Holes” in Debug menu), so you can delete bad messages from other device (PC/Android) and safely enter the app without losing your accounts.

Finally, feature is available in both betas


I've adjusted info for old accounts a bit, so they will show other values than 02/14
You can reset cached registration dates in Debug menu > Reset Holes.
It will not logout you from accounts.

- Bad news
Apple reviewers don’t read my notes about Callkit in China and Apple Pay API, so they rejected it and it requires at least one more day to respond.


- Good news
Seems like Apple is OK about JieBao as a separate application.
API was unstable for a while. Server was a bit overloaded.
Fixed now, but requires new server very soon
Nicegram is trending in Italian AppStore 🇮🇹 📈
I’m shocked a bit. Thank you Nicegram Italia community!

One more Nicegram feature is now used in official Telegram. Warning before starting secret chat. https://news.1rj.ru/str/tginfoen/539
This day is coming. Screenshot from official beta Mac OS Telegram.

Still not sure that Telegram team loves Nicegram features?
👌 Just wrote a small python noscript to get and check all the requests for Nicegram Premium beta.

If you bought Premium and want premium beta, please, submit your request as on screenshot to @NicegramBetaBot

Other requests will be ignored.
Sorry, there're too many of you. (Many of users does not read requirements, your emails will be ignored. Yes, really.)
🤦‍♂ Some users are just kidding. Is it hard to send screenshot with hashtag and email caption?
Small BETA update with iCloud settings & folders sync.

On first start, app automatically write LOCAL settings to iCloud settings.
Then app will use iCloud settings in priority.

iCloud settings means:
- Stored in iCloud 🙄
- Stored and retrieved even with app reinstallation
- Syncing across iOS devices
- Currently it’s less then 5KB data used :)

There’s also an option in Nicegram > Settings for LOCAL settings backup.
Just in case something will go badly.

Which settings are synced?
- Folders
- All settings below on the screenshot

Recently Telegram announced Reproducible Builds which using build tool called "Buck"

While working on the next Nicegram update, I've installed fresh hackintosh and was able to compile App in only 20 minutes, which is x1.5 FASTER then before.
But then, I've used Caching and was able to compile app just in 6 (six) minutes, it's about SIX TIMES FASTER!

As said in the link above, Telegram team has got build time on a MacBook Pro (i9 6 core) of 35 minutes.
Here's why I have Hackintosh powered by 8 cores & 16 threads AMD CPU.
Sorry Apple & Intel.

One more thing: previous versions that were using generic xCode build tool was able to build sources only in 30-45 minutes.

What does all of that mean? Less time for compiling, more time for coding and updating the app :D

P.S. This update is really huge and harder then 5.9 -> 5.10 was. So, let's be patient.
