I have a 100% recurring crash happening semi-frequently on (2) different iOS devices. I’ll try to articulate the conditions as best I can, but please feel free to ask questions or guide me further if you need more info.
I use Scrivener on:
- iMac (latest OS and app version)
- Macbook pro (latest OS and app version)
- iPhone SE (currently on firmware 9.3.2)
- iPad Mini (9.3.3)
I use Dropbox integration. I use subfolders inside my Scrivener folder. My Dropbox hierarchy looks something like:
Dropbox > Apps > Scrivener > Book 1
> Book 2
> Book 3
> Book 4
> etc
(Note: The problem occurred without subfodlers as well. I get the sense they are not related, but heck, I could be wrong)
Symptoms
On several occasions, usually after I’ve been opening a project on my desktops, save, and switch to and iOS device, Scrivener for iOS will immediately crash as soon as I attempt to load the app. I see the Projects page flash very briefly (< 1 second) and then the app closes and I am returned to the main iOS finder.
If I try to reload Scrivener, the same crash occurs. If I force quit (“swipe out”) the app and re-launch it, it still crashes. The only way I’ve found to restore functionality is to fully delete the application >> download it again >> re-sync with Dropbox.
I’m actively working on a project with a deadline, so I had to re-install my iPad to get things working. My iPhone, however, is still actively crashing. I am going to leave it in this state in case you want more info.
Are there logs I can provide? What else can I gather for you? I’m sorry I don’t have a more precise list of steps I took to get it into this crash condition.
