They have a share sheet extension. Click the thing you use to email a webpage, click the 1Password button, log in, click the log in that's detected to match the URL, autofills and you can hit submit.
Password fields can't use custom keyboards because of fear of logging that entry. The share sheet extension works great though for 1Password, especially when combined with TouchID.
Indeed, very clever! It seems like you could write an entire mini-app as a custom keyboard. What sort of limitations are there to what you can do with this? What's Apple's policy towards custom keyboards?
Why do you think so? I mean this as a serious question because that's not apparent to me.
If a numeric keyboard makes it easier to enter numbers, and a Japanese keyboard makes it easier to enter Japanese, why shouldn't an appointment keyboard make it easier to enter an appointment time?
I could totally see Apple saying "The custom keyboard is meant for languages and special characters/symbols, not to be used by an app in this fashion"
Wouldn't be the worserejection-reason they've given. You might even find an app that does the same thing already on the AppStore, but that won't stop them from rejecting you because that's just how they roll.
They are leveraging the custom keyboard feature in iOS 8 and build a keyboard around it. It's actually really clever. After choosing times you are available, location, etc., it returns a link. Imagine this keyboard when you are texting, imagine it when you are composing an email. You don't have to jump between two apps to send a calendar invite. It simply works anywhere.
I was just about to delete sunrise from my phone because it seems to have a lot of trouble noticing when events have changed or been deleted, and it's actually caused me once or twice to re-arrange my home life around phantom meetings that had been canceled.
This looks pretty awesome and I'm going to try it out.
Feedback: might want to include iOS App Store and Google Play Store links directly in the blog post because 1) I wouldn't have had to open a new tab to search for your app manually, and 2) you have an idea of how many referrals you got through this post.
This looks awesome, but I have to apparently use Sunrise to use it. Anyone using Sunrise and have any information? The homepage has 0 info, nothing. I'm not keen on sharing my google account with it until I learn more.
Sunrise is one of the most popular calendar apps, and it was recently purchased by Microsoft. I use it, and it's the best calendar app I've found so far on iOS.
Meet seems to be part of the Sunrise app. However you can receive and respond to invites without using Sunrise. You can get a better overview of the app here [1] than on the homepage.
Look great! I wanted to see more on the calendar it self, but I have not found the demo link on the main page. IMO, you should add a presentation of your calendar without requiring to create an account.
I love it! My only feature request (semi jokingly), integration with my mail client so I can swipe from the lock screen to send a polite "no thanks" for all those pesky sales emails.
