3Speak Development Update - Mobile App, Ecency Integration and more

Hello 3Speak & Hive community members,

@sagarkothari88 here. With this post, I will share updates on 3Speak Mobile App development.

3Speak Mobile App - Minor Update - v1.2.3 Release

I recently rolled out a new version, v1.2.3, on both Google Play Store & Apple's AppStore.
The following list describes the set of changes that were implemented in the new version.
✅ Bug Fixed - Login with HiveAuth - Trim white spaces at the beginning and the end. @arcange reported it.
✅ Bug Fixed - When canceling a broadcast, the app shows an infinite loading indicator. transaction. Reported by @arcange (When operations (like upvotes) are declined (sign_nack), the app displays it as an error (which it's not) and stays idle with the spinning wheel forever. This should be better managed.)
✅ UI Improvement - Once the user is logged in via HiveAuth, there is no need to show QR codes for transactions like upvoting & comment.
✅ UI Improvement - QR Codes, wherever displayed, must be tappable.

3Speak.tv wWebsite Changes

Mobile app users must come back to the app & manually publish the video.
I've added a script to automate the video posting to avoid this.
As soon as video encoding is complete, the video will be published by 3Speak on behalf of the user.
This will happen only if the user has given posting authority to 3Speak.
This script went through the intense review process
https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-frontend/pull/7
Finally, it was approved by @vaultec.
I thank him for his rigorous code review, guidance & support.

While publishing the video, some mobile users miss the step to publish the video.
Due to this video stays in the publish_manual state & stays in the invisible state.
Number of users encountered issue & reported it.
@offgridlife & some other users faced it.
I wrote a script to check videos published on Hive, but the status is incorrect. The script will take care of correcting the status of the published videos.

I've been in touch with Adesojisauljay & @good-karma.
I was involved in resolving their doubts, and enhancing the APIs to support different use cases to implement 3Speak within Ecency.
https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-studio/pull/13
I have also enhanced the API to support users logged in with Hive-Signer.
Changes suggested by @ecency are deployed & I am eagerly waiting for 3Speak on Ecency.

For Berlin Event, @arcange needed a special build.
I worked on the feedback quickly & provided him with the build.
I thank him for the witness vote he has given & I am committed to more & more.
Here is the link to the document which I prepared to install the app before the event.

I have been collecting feedback from several places.
I am monitoring the issues-support channel under the discord server.
All of the reported issues - I am keeping a note of them & adding them to my list of to-dos on Trello.
Some users tag me in the comment section.
Some users upload the video with the feedback.
I'm trying my level best to address all the feedback items.
