Any of y’all #ios havers understand how to add a podcast by RSS url in the podcasts app?
I unfortunately have a few #apple users in my life and when I try to add podcast feeds available locally, nothing seems to work. Safari doesn’t know what app to open RSS feeds with, so I go into podcasts, click the three dots and “Follow show by URL”, click submit and then… nothing. No indication of success or failure, and the show doesn’t seem to be there.
I’ll note that this has happened on two totally different phones.
@pganssle shot in the dark: maybe the iOS app requires TLS. Is the URL http or https? With a valid cert?
@alex https with a valid cert, unfortunately (for this hypothesis, at least)
I know the feeds work because my wife found some convoluted way to add it once that involved QR codes, and the feed opens just fine. I also used to be able to do this somehow, and I can see old feeds that I added in their list of shows.
