  Each one mentions iospharo with a link to the repo, includes repro steps against stock images, and proposes a fix.    

 The iPad pharo project created a headless test runner that doesn't seem headless to the image. It allows test scripts to invoke menus and capture the visual results.  Without this testing involved scanning a real screen and faking mouse clicks, which was very slow and didnt work well.  I think it would be useful in extending Pharo testing into the visual area.
  
For the other iPhone discovered issues I will do more work before asking for any upstream change.

Hi,

This is nice :) I tried it fast and the result is interesting.

For the issues, you could first check if they are still present in Pharo 14 since it will probably get released in a few weeks. 

I think most of them will not have been fixed but we never know.

If they are still present in P14���do not hesitate to open issues on the Pharo issue Tracker. Maybe they will not been fixed fast because we have a lot of things in the tracker, once a month some Pharowers are getting together to fix some bugs and they could get picked during one of those sessions (next one is next friday)

Good luck and have a nice day!

PharoSmalltalk with a new VM is now in the Apple App Store for iPad (primary), iPhone, and Mac as https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pharosmalltalk/id6759073615. It runs the latest Pharo 13 image.

During development, 10 issues came up that seem to be best handled with image changes, see https://github.com/avwohl/iospharo/blob/main/docs/upstream-proposals.md

I could use advice or review on how to proceed with these issues. This started when, on a cruise, I sat down on a beach chair with LEARN PHARO and an iPad and found there wasn���t a Pharo. I have a background in compiler construction, but am newish to Smalltalk.
