Apple has done a pretty bad job at connecting with developers especially indies. Though at WWDC every year, the're demonstrating how they treat well to developers, how much developers have earned, it's has never been a time when Apple and developers are at a same table. If you're an Apple developer, ask yourself the question how you can communicate with Apple and how soon you can guarantee they would respond.

This hurts, not only Ying, but also indie developers like me.

Potatso 2 (not lite version) has a simple network log feature but for now it only contains the hostname. Request and response details will be added in a few months.

OTA is explicitly marked as non-safe and is removed by Shadowsocks official. So Potatso will no longer support it and I would recommend you change your server.

Not yet. Sorry for that.

Nice catch. I thought Potatso Lite is quite easy to use and I didn't get time to translate them. I will do it soon (probably after WWDC)

Wow!!! Your words has lighten up my whole day!!! Thanks for your encouragement.

I would recommend using Potatso 2 instead of Potatso 1 cause it's much more stable and under heavy maintenance.

Potatso 2 doesn't contain any GPL code (that's why it's 2)

api.potatso.com is for fetching and updating cloudsets and maybe more features in the future (I think you won't want to REJECT them).

potatso.helpshift.com is for feedback. If you don't use feedback feature, you can disable it.

No problem. This is public API and Apple encourages developing custom proxy.

Thank for your suggestion. I'm new here. Who should I ask for?
Re:Show HN: Potatso – Proxy tool on iOS on Thursday June 01, 2017 @03:52AM (#14458635)
Noe yet. It should be able to. Thank you for your suggestion.

Yeah, this is really tricky. Apple has released Network Extension API since iOS 9 which only exposes IP packets. What I did is to parse the IP packets and redirect them into different proxies. (Most tough part though only one sentence)
