### Bug testing
As Resin enters it's beta phase, we're looking for help from bug testers! You
can test it out without running a development server by downloading the
[Expo Go](https://expo.dev/client) app and scanning the following QR code on
your phone:

One of Resin's original goals was to create a Pixelfed client that could be
used on both Android and iOS--something that's somewhat lacking among
Fediverse clients. Unfortunately, due to our lacking access to Apple products,
Resin hasn't formally been tested on iOS.
Resin hasn't formally been tested on iOS. Further, the Expo Go client no longer
allows for iOS users to open projects via QR code in response to Apple's new
security guidelines, thus complicating our beta distribution strategy. So,
Resin's iOS support has been temporarily delayed until we can solve testing and
distribution issues.
It's very possible that, should you open it on your iPhone, it'll literally do
nothing. If that doesn't happen, then there's a good chance that there may be
some major issues preventing it from being used. In this case, if you're an iOS
user, have some familiarity with React Native and/or JavaScript and have some
free time to spare, we'd love to have your help in making Resin on iOS a
reality. Otherwise, there's a good chance it'll be a while before Resin is
available on the App Store.
If you're savvy with Apple's developer tools, you can probably still build it
yourself if you were hoping to get an early look. If you manage to do so, we'd
love to hear from you.
