REX iPhone app - crash from selecting "More..." on a share menu

Date: 08/11/2016

REX iPhone App (version 2.4.0)

Description:

I've found an easy to reproduce crash that occurs with the REX app on either iPhone or iPad. This crash is occurring for me either in anonymous mode, or while being signed into my REX account.

There is a share option that appears after the user selects an arrow that is present in the upper right hand corner of the screen of select posts.

From this share option, the app will crash if the user selects the "More..." option.

This is easier to show than to describe, so please see the attached screenshots.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Download the REX iPhone app (version 2.4.0) and launch it
2. Select "Explore"
3. Click inside the "Search people, posts & tags" input box
4. Select "POSTS"
5. Select any of the TRENDING posts
5. From one of the posts, select the arrow in the upper right hand corner
6. From the "Facebook/Text/Twitter/Email/More..." options, select "More..."

Result: The REX iOS app (version 2.4.0) will crash after the user selects the "More..." option on a share pop-up menu from selected posts

Expected: The REX iOS app should not crash after the user selects a "More..." option



Launch the REX app...

Select "Explore"

Click inside the "Search people, posts & tags" input box...

Select "POSTS" and then select one of the TRENDING posts below...
Select the arrow in the upper right...

Select the "More..." option

REX iPhone app - FILTER menu crash

Date: 07/25/2016

REX iPhone app (version 2.3.0)

Description:

I've been playing around with the new REX app on both an iPhone and an iPad.

Discovered a crash that reproduces on both. It's a pretty garden variety crash for the iOS.

It is easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the attached screenshots.

I can get this to reproduce 100 percent of the time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create an a REX account, use the service
2. Launch the app while signed in
3. Select "Explore"
4. Click inside the "Search people, posts & tags" search box
5. Search for any term that brings back results (the term "Dan" for example)
6. Select "POSTS"
7. Select the filter option in upper left and the "Cancel" option in upper right simultaneously
8. (filter option dragged back onto another screen) select any option from the filter menu

Result: Easy way to crash the REX app by dragging a FILTER menu onto a previous screen

Expected: Shouldn't be able to drag the FILTER menu onto a screen where it doesn't belong - app shouldn't crash when you select something on this menu screen

Select the "Explore" option....

Click inside the "Search people, posts & tags" box...

Run a search for a term that brings back results.

Select the Filter and Cancel options at roughly the same time...

Filter menu is dragged to the previous home feed screen - selecting any option from this FILTER menu will crash the app
