Prowl

If you're running iOS 9 or earlier and you encounter SSL errors you'll need to install and trust a newer Let's Encrypt root certificate from their website letsencrypt.org/certificates/ (or something like cydia.invoxiplaygames.uk/certificates/). Prowl is now using automatic Let's Encrypt certs.

@gnyman @Dropbox @zerosslHQ Yeah, unfortunately Heroku's ACM doesn't use ZeroSSL, and I don't want to manually rotate every 90 days any longer (I was using 'em before). I paid ZeroSSL some money to get a 1 year one but accidentally blew my '3' certificates with 1 that was missing a domain.

Had a blip in the database for the past ~hour, things are returning to normal now.

Heroku is currently down, so Prowl is too. You can follow along here because their status page is also down (oof): news.ycombinator.com/item?id=304566…

@AndreasKozik I'm not seeing any delay. How are you sending them?

I broke email -> push with an SSL update last night, but it's working now. Sorry about that. I believe it'll retry delivery for all the missed ones, but it may take a little while.

While I was asleep the database server failed and a new one subsequently brought online by my hosting provider. So that's why some errors happened a few hours ago for a bit.

@jensebense18 Can you ask the author to contact support@prowlapp.com? I'm not sure I can find them online.

@prowlapp the program is called: RadioOperator

@prowlapp are there currently problems with the transfer? No more Messages will ne delivered.

Prowl (via Heroku) now requires TLS 1.2 or 1.3, SNI, and now uses Let's Encrypt certificates, which for some ancient servers may require updating the ca-certificates bundled with the device. If you are seeing a connectivity issue, please make sure sending side is up-to-date.

@collazoelgmail1 A connectivity issue between the Prowl service and Apple’s servers. I think related to a recent certificate rotation they performed.

@prowlapp Do we know what the issue was that caused the interruption in service? I need to report to my constituents.

Something’s wrong right now with push. Also wrong right now: the Heroku Dashboards & APIs. Makes investigating this, or kicking things to restart them, somewhat impossible.

Looks like it’s from emails, which I hadn’t connected to a rate limit before. Added a rate limit, so now the person sending ~100/s is now at 0/s, which has reduced the queue length. Catching up on the ~1,000,000-long backlog.

Somehow requests 4x’d from normal while I was asleep, looking into it why things are stuck.

@i0n1ca Work in progress! email support@prowlapp.com and I can add you to the testflight

@_nitz Things are slow going; end of the year meant deadlines at work and vacation until a day or so ago. Will hopefully get back into it soon. Current beta uses native share & iirc safari vc needs to be added still, right now it opens Safari the app.

Prowl seems to have issues on the iOS 13.2 beta. I'll dust off the cobwebs and put out a new release to address this.

Looks like this has cleared, but probably a problem on my side. Look at this graph of notifications sent over the last few weeks.

I've received some reports about notifications not working. I'm digging into it, but oddly enough it appears that everything is working on my side.

@AviN456 Send me an email to join support@prowlapp.com

@prowlapp Do you use TestFlight? If so, can I get an invite?
