Facebook urmeaza sa lanseze o aplicatie complet refacuta pentru platforma iOS

  Folosesc iDevice-uri de 3 ani de zile si pot spune cu sinceritate ca aplicatia Facebook pentru iOS este cea mai proasta pe care am intalnit-o vreodata. Extrem de multa lume se plange de faptul ca aplicatia incarca greu paginile, se blocheaza foarte des si se inchide din senin, ea fiind practic o mare, mare bila neagra in portofoliul companiei care detine reteaua de socializare Facebook. Desi cei de la Facebook au incercat sa repare aplicatia prin update-uri succesive, tentativele lor au fost sortite esecului, insa se pare ca o versiune complet refacuta a aplicatiei urmeaza sa fie lansata in viitorul apropiat in App Store.

According to two Facebook engineers who asked not be named because they are not authorized to speak about unreleased products, Facebook has completely rebuilt its iOS application to optimize for one thing: speed… Many of the components of the current version of the Facebook app are built using HTML5, a Web-based programming language… The current version of the app is essentially an Objective-C shell with a Web browser inside. When it comes to speed, this is like putting the engine of a Smart Car in the body of a Ferrari…. Objective-C takes the opposite approach, taking full advantage of the hardware in the iPhone and then building most of the functionality directly into the application so it has to collect less information from the Web.

  Chiar daca Facebook nu au spus absolut nimic in legatura cu lansarea unei noi aplicatii pentru iDevice-uri, un reporter al New York Times a reusit sa discute cu cativa ingineri ai Facebook si a apucat sa testeze noua aplicatie. Se pare ca aceasta va pastra design-ul cu care ne-am obisnuit deja, insa ea va fi complet rescrisa folosind limbajul Objective-C, iar asta ar trebui sa elimine functionalitatea extrem de proasta pe care o experimentam acum. Conform New York Times, noua aplicatie urmeaza sa fie disponibila in App Store undeva in cursul lunii urmatoare.
