Description

@jahorton

I tested this issue in the "Keyman-18.0.219-beta-test-13548" build(20/03/2025) on iPhone 13 (iOS version17.4). Here I am sharing my observation.

[...]

  • TEST_INSTALL_FROM_SITE (failed):
  1. Installed the "Keyman-18.0.219.dmg" file from this PR build.
  2. Open the Keyman app.
  3. Checked the "Enable Keyman as system-wide keyboard". Set the keyboard as the default keyboard box on the settings page.
  4. Select the "SIL_Euro_Latin" keyboard and set as English.
  5. Download the "Sil_IPA" file from the "jahorton.github.io" website.
  6. Navigate to the downloader folder.
  7. Click on the "sil_ipa.kmp" file and then select the Keyman app.
  8. Install the sil_ipa keyboard.
    Actual Results: The Keyman app launched automatically, but no keyboard was displayed when I clicked on it.
    sil_ipa keyboard appeared after I closed and reloaded the Keyman app.
    Please have a look at the attached video file.

I did manage to trigger this once personally. That said, I was able to confirm the keyboard did install and that the test error reported above is a separate issue.
