The CrossWire Bible Society is an organization with the purpose to sponsor and provide a place for engineers and others to come and collaborate on free, open-source projects aimed at furthering the Kingdom of our God. We are also a resource pool to other Bible societies and Christian organizations that can't afford-- or don't feel it's their place-- to maintain a quality programming staff in house.

Hello fellow Christian developers,

Iโ€™m reaching out to ask for your help in reviving ๐๐จ๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ญ๐’๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐, a free and open-source iOS/iPadOS Bible app built on The SWORD Project engine by CrossWire. For many years, ๐๐จ๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ญ๐’๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ served as a reliable, offline Bible study tool โ€” giving access to hundreds of Bible translations, commentaries, and other resources.

Unfortunately, ๐๐จ๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ญ๐’๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ has not been updated in several years and is no longer available on the App Store.

The original developer is no longer maintaining the project, and the app does not meet Appleโ€™s current SDK and 64-bit requirements.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐:
- An iOS/iPadOS developer with experience in Swift or Objective-C
- Familiarity with Xcode and the App Store submission process
- Ideally, someone with a heart for open access to the Scriptures

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ:
PocketSword filled a vital niche on iOS/iPadOS โ€” offering a lightweight, offline, ad-free Bible study app with deep module support. It integrates with The SWORD Project and supports over 500 free Bible modules from multiple sources, including the extensive library at eBible.org

PocketSword is a SWORD-based front-end application for iOS/iPadOS. It can be installed for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

There are several Bible translations online at this ๐‚๐ณ๐ž๐œ๐ก ๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž website that as yet have not been made into SWORD modules.

Many of them are in languages other than Czech, so please consider what might be useful future additions for the CrossWire repository.

If you are asking ChatGPT via WhatsApp to output a passage of Scripture in standard IMP format, it just canโ€™t do it.

This is because the dollar sign is used in LaTeX and MarkDown for special purposes.

The workaround is to use a different character such as ยฃ in place of the $, then use a text editor afterwards to replace all ยฃ by $

E.g. for use with SWORD utility imp2vs.

Example: KJV

ยฃยฃยฃJohn 11:35
Jesus wept.
