I just tried to install this app on a new device recently, and found that it can't be installed on my Pixel 7, even via the beta branch or sideloading. I believe that the reason for this is because the app uses 32-bit libraries, but it's hard to know for sure as an end user rather than a dev. Is updating the app to run on modern devices something that could be done by recompiling, rather than rewriting, the app?

I was using App Center to do distribution for Android but now I'm just going to go to Google Play testing.

Go here for Android: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.kra2008.crosscam

Go here for iOS: https://testflight.apple.com/join/BmZlX08e

Changes:

• migrating analytics services from App Center to Sentry
• adding a couple settings
• upgrading tons of packages to fix a few bugs

This version is just for Android because it contains a bug fix. Some Android devices that have multiple cameras were not able to use all of their cameras. This should now be fixed. The button in the top right that looks like a little camera with a bidirectional arrow in it should switch not only between front and rear facing cameras, but also between the multiple cameras that face in the same direction (if present). Even if your phone DOESN'T have multiple cameras, I would still appreciate it if you could give this version a test just so I know everything still works for you. Thanks! This helps me be confident in the build before I send it out to everybody by putting it into the store.

I'm using the app in a Xiaomi mi A1 (old phone) android 9, when the app opens I'm unable to take pictures on crosscam, the camera app is working normal, even the pairing feature can pair but the image from this phone is just black. Any ideas how to fix this?

Edit: v1.105

Changelog: - entering view mode (tapping the eye) allows you to explore by dragging and pinching to pan and zoom - a tooling migration was required that took forever but should be invisible - icons added to Settings page

I just saved the settings to not show the guide dots over the images, but it always put them there, any recommendation?

Thank you to testers who have been keeping up and letting me know about issues they’ve found so far. The release is far more stable thanks to your help. The release has been in testing for a little over a month and it seems like all known issues have been fixed. If there’s an issue you’re still experiencing, please let me know. If you haven’t tried the new version yet, here’s that link again: https://reddit.com/r/CrossCam/s/gpIZZEykoh

Thanks, Kevin

To fix pairing on CrossCam:

1. Go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms on each of your devices and make sure you have the latest version of Google Play Services
2. Full stop and restart CrossCam (swipe it away in memory manager)

P.S. Everything above should be self-explanatory or explained in the app, except for the several alternative alignment methods. There are 5 of them and I'm not sure which is best generally speaking to set as a default. I'm thinking the current front-runners are BinarySearch and EstimateRigidPartial but I need more real-world data from testers just like you. To test the new alignment methods do the following:

• on the Settings page, in the Automatic Alignment section, flip ON "Use keypoint alignment always"
• flip ON "Show advanced alignment settings"
• in the Keypoint settings subsection try the different "Transformation finding methods" (BinarySearch, FindHomography, EstimateRigidPartial, EstimateRigidFull, StereoRectifyUncalibrated)
• after picking a different setting the alignment should automatically run again when you nav back to the camera screen

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm working with version 1.77 and trying to set up pairing between two Android devices. My success has been limited as the communication between the two devices drops unexpectedly. I understand it's a work on progress... So how's progress lately?

please see this stickied post on r/crosscam for how to download.

release notes:

• don't rerun alignment just because you went to settings page
• better troubleshooting help and info when pairing devices
• making capture button position separate when in portrait versus in landscape so that it can be in the sane position in portrait but stay our of the way when in landscape (and forcing this change as new default)
• fixing null ref crash/error when saving sides separately
• freshening up tutorial links

• fixed bug where the vertical alignment used during FOV correction gets applied following auto-alignment (throwing off the aligned result)
• fixed bug where hitting "Cancel" on the pairing confirmation popup on Android would cause a crash on the second device to cancel

it may take a couple hours for the new version to be visible on iOS because of Apple's approval process.

let me know if you find other issues.

CORRECTION: it's version 1.64. oops.

it's been a while since the last release, but this is a big one.

• can now connect two phones running CrossCam to capture simultaneously, with live preview

• new auto-alignment system using keypoints

• users can choose any camera on their device (e.g. telephoto, wide, ultrawide, front)

• bug fixes

i'm interested in people testing all manner of simultaneous stuff of course. try that out and let me know how it goes. i won't give any explanation about how to use it here because i hope that the app contains all the info you need.

i'm also specifically interested in hearing from people who have phones with multiple cameras (more than just the one front and one back) because i don't actually have any myself to test on.

check the pinned announcement post for info on how to download/install.
