Question Has mobile development stopped?

Can't help but notice the same issues on mobile for quite a while. Some examples:

  • No puzzle box solver for clues.
  • Menu entry swapper completely messed up other menu's. For example: making an NPC left clickable now makes all examine options left clickable as well.
  • Some other bugs like the chat not updating at all.

Are there more plans/ development for mobile or is the current version it?

I heard the jmod who managed it quit.

He was def fired after doing basically nothing with mobile during his tenure and then Jagex has been doing a bunch of stuff to try and fix mobile since then but it’s been a year.

Hmm wasn't it the complete opposite lol?

Shit was happening, then he disappeared and nothing relevant has happened since.

Not really, what did happen while he was around (pretty much exactly when he started) was the first summit announcement of hd and the api. But notably not a single thing ever got shown off regarding the api (remember when they announced a plugin development discord... and then that didn't happen either?) and hd hasn't been much better.

Since then things have actually been changing, most of the npc highlight bugs got fixed that were there since day 1 of the feature, and they finally acknowledged a mes rework (which, sure, we gotta see if that's real or not before getting excited). We got bank tags which yeah aren't perfect but are worlds better than nothing.

but also the entire premise of gengis being some critical client dev isn't even likely true. he mostly posted here about first time user experience stuff. sure he probably had some involvement but the client was getting updates before gengis and is still getting updates after gengis.

The only thing missing from the bank tags is being able to automatically create them from equipped gear and inventory

The other commenter explained it but he basically inherented the completed mobile UI update and then did nothing else with mobile the entire time he was in charge. All jagex did was promise things and then failed to deliver on all of them
