TaskPaper 2.0 for iOS crashing after upgrading? Haven’t upgraded yet? READ THIS (please)!
For anyone upgrading from 1.x who installed the update and was met by a crash, it may have been caused by the search string. Anyone who installed and didn’t see a crash? No problem. A fix is in process, now that we know what’s at fault.
WORKAROUND if you’re still on 1.3 (if you haven’t upgraded, or you have a saved copy you can downgrade to):
- Clear any active searches
- Install TaskPaper 2.0
WORKAROUND if you’re already upgraded to 2.0 1. Export/backup your documents to your computer using iTunes document sharing (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094) Note: If you were able to link with Dropbox and you know your files are fully synced there, you can skip this step.
Delete TaskPaper 2.0 from device
Reinstall TaskPaper 2.0 from the App Store
Turn on Dropbox sync at TaskPaper 2.0 iOS and put backed-up documents into ~/Dropbox/TaskPaper folder.
Background on issue: Before 2.0, the saved search string value was a simple ‘string’, but now it uses the dictionary type to save search string ‘per’ document name. Our bad. So, some people upgrading from TaskPaper 1.3 can be met with a crash when there is saved search string.
