Hey sir. It’s odd - the App Store says I’m running TestFlight 1.7, but when I tap “view in TestFlight” the app can’t be found. And if I use the TestFlight link from the Damus purple page, it says no new beta testers are being accepted (despite being on TestFlight pretty much continually over the past year). But maybe it’s bugging because my Purple subscription had lapsed? (Re upped for a year now, lol)

Hi nostr:npub14qz92uedt0a8jte8jqg63jr3s5cc99cej36jh883z6tprlu354uqqe2q26, thanks for letting us know!
The new App Store version (1.7.2) should come expiry notifications, but if you were running an older version, maybe that version did not have support for those yet.
Would you happen to know which version of Damus you were running when it expired without notifications?
Discussion
Can you try “stop testing” and retry the link ?
There was no “stop testing” in TestFlight because the app had disappeared entirely (from TestFlight). I just switched to the current App Store release but the link from the Damus purple site still goes to the “no new testers” error
Thanks nostr:npub14qz92uedt0a8jte8jqg63jr3s5cc99cej36jh883z6tprlu354uqqe2q26! From your description, I believe you were running a version that had no Purple expiry notifications at the time.
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s, the latest version on that TestFlight group was 1.7 (11) (Probably around commit `ab529c43`), which seems to be before the Purple expiry notification feature was introduced (in `3569919e`)
nostr:npub14qz92uedt0a8jte8jqg63jr3s5cc99cej36jh883z6tprlu354uqqe2q26, as for the issues with the TestFlight link, I believe you might be on the older TestFlight group, which we recently migrated from. Can you please try logging into https://damus.io/purple/account/ and clicking “Join TestFlight” on your account page (if you haven’t tried it yet)?
Ooh thanks I hadn’t seen this note. It worked!
I just received my first 2FA code via Nostr DM. That feels AWESOME 💜
2FA through Nostr DM was a delightful surprise.
who needs phone numbers!?
Honestly though I wish I could just provide my npub for 2FA everywhere. It’s so clean and so obvious. And much harder to get sim swapped. And it’s nostr so it’s sexy.
What about a nostr micro-app that worked as a plug-in for any random website to use nostr DMs for 2FA? From a technical view is that a thing that could work? I feel like if it works on Damus.io then it should function anywhere, no?
This should be even more secure in the future with the login-with-a-client NIP. We currently do something similar when logging in to sign up for purple. The app opens up and Damus is used for verifying that it’s you.
We just couldn’t use this flow yet for logging in on the website since we hardcoded that flow for purple lightning subscriptions.
Soon we won’t need the OTP stuff and you can just let damus to verify the login directly.
That’s insanely cool. You all are literally building the future right here
Sure was 🤙🤙
👀
Yeah, the renewal notifications, the 2FA code via dm…….Damus Suite is going to be killer 💪🤙
