TestFlight beta feedback for Subsurface-mobile.

Since I’ve just finished the last dives of a trip and won’t have more samples to import for a while, I went into local mode (which, incidentally, caused the app to crash) and did another import which managed to reproduce the issue with one line “missing”.  One (cropped) screenshot was taken after initially scrolling down the list (there were about 40 dives imported this time and the fault was near the bottom of the list), and the other after scrolling up and down and causing enough of a redraw to make the missing line reappear (there should be two dives on Sep 28).

I initially tried BT pairing (which fails at discovery) and am used to the workflow from desktop where I would open the app, start BT on the Perdix, then initiate the download, but here it seems that BT has to be started before the app opens for the Perdix to be picked up.  Once I tried it in that order, it worked.  Maybe some kind of “rediscover” option would help here (and I’ll admit I didn’t wait long enough to see if this was being done automatically).

Fair enough.. and in this case, the current docs (which are more Android-focused) seem to suggest that pairing is necessary, which is what tripped me up at first.
