    @spstanley, are you still handling the iOS player app?  PKCE is covered in the API documentation.


    I believe the current iOS Wherigo app was built by @MrCachly, and sold (?) to Groundspeak. (It’s listed in the App Store by Groundspeak, Inc.) Not sure which of them is responsible for maintenance.

    When there were only ~5000 of these and not showing up on maps, the icon color was not a problem. In 2025 there will be a lot more on the map.

     

    While I sympathize with the accessibility concern, I think you have your cache types mixed up. I believe that the "5000" number you are thinking probably comes from the Lost & Found Events, which were re-branded as Community Celebration Events and awarded to everyone* in 2020. They will be doing this again in 2025. Those appear in red. The Block Party type is green, but I doubt there will be very many since the criteria for the type requires at minimum Mega status. Only six have been published so far.

    But the thing that annoys me most is that they don't even show the checker attribute on the app! I often do simple puzzles on my phone and if I want to see to the checker, I have to open the website instead of just checking attributes. Oh well.

     

    ...no?

    It would be nice if the app would add a line to the description if the checker was enabled, though. Cachly does it well.

    Do the same rules apply for a CCE event?

     

    I think that this is all that has been said:

    Those who receive a Community Celebration Event must host it between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. Events must be a minimum of two hours, and cannot overlap with events associated with a Mega-Event, Giga-Event, or Block Party.

    So by reasoning, if an owner cannot find and log their own cache, why isn't that an equal substitute?  When I don't put in the hider's geonick in Not Found By, all their hides do appear, but when I put in their geonick in Not Found By, a significant majority, but not all, are eliminated from the search.  The photo above shows a search result where I inserted the CO's name in the Not Found By.  23 of their hides were returned in the search, as compared to over 100 when their name was not inserted in the Not Found By.  I'm trying to figure out why things work one way and not  another way.

     

    You put two names in "Not found by":

    The caches appearing in the search results will be only those which neither of those players have found. Read it as: "Not found by X and not found by Y".

    is there a map filter on geocaching or a partner application that lets you see only unfound geocaches?

     

    Yes, Cachly has an FTF indicator & filter option in lists.

    The GC owner registers that codeword in the geocache database. Naturally, the code word is only visible to the GC owner.

    If a GC searcher finds the cache, he/she must use the codeword to log the cache online.

     

    Adventure Labs?

    After all, you need to know the code in the cache.

     

    Or, have some Facebook group tell you the code and then just log it from your couch.

    Seems strange that an active cacher who met the requirements and applied each time would be passed over 4 consecutive times.

     

    Napkin math, but: if 50,000 people met the criteria each time, and they selected only 4,000, then the probability of not winning all four times under a perfectly fair draw is (1 - 4/50)^4 = 71%. The true probability would be higher in the United States, since they biased selection by region.
