PaddingStove

The world first deck tracker for Hearthstone for iPad.

Limitations

• A running computer in the same Wi-Fi as iPad is required.
• Tracker overlay is a web page and you have to operate and resize it on your own.

Getting started

Warning

This is the very early version of the tracker. The steps are compliacted and to be improved.

For all system

Install latest .Net SDK

macOS

You can install required dependencies with homebrew.

brew install libimobiledevice

Windows

WIP. You may have to compile libimobiledevice by yourself.

Arch Linux (Unverified)

sudo pacman -Syu libimobiledevice

The libiray for macOS and Windows will be bundled in future and you won't need to install them by yourself.

Device parperation

1. Connect your iPad to your machine with wire.
2. Transfer log.config to you iPad, the root folder of your Hearthstone app with Finder/Apple Devices/iTunes.
3. Enable Show this iPad when on Wi-Fi (Finder) or Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi (iTunes).
4. Unplug wire.

Run

The running process is pretty simple and straightforward, just run

dotnet run --project HCGStudio.PaddingStove.Hosting -- --urls http://0.0.0.0:8080

And view http://[your-local-ip-or-hostname]:8080 on your iPad.

To debug with UI change, go to directory front-end and run

yarn install
yarn start

And the backend project should be started with the default port.

dotnet run --project HCGStudio.PaddingStove.Hosting

Note

You should have Node.js installed if you have any changes to UX.

How does this works

Due to Apple limitations, App can't read logs from any other Apps without a jailbreak. Deck trackers rely on log reading to work. However, reading iPad logs with computer is simple. We can read Hearthstone longs with computer, process and transfer result back to your iPad.
