Black, Blank screen when trying to set up iCloud on iOS

This BR was created to track users reporting the screen going blank/black when trying to set up a vault on their iOS device with iCloud.

Whoever has this problem, please create a vault locally and report the output of “show debug info”.

In the past, some user that encountered this glitch have managed to overcome it:

  1. Disabling and then reenabling Obsidian access to iCloud (in the iCloud settings)
  2. Logging out of iCloud on your iphone/iPad and then logging back in

Some folks have had success with these steps when getting a blank or “Your iCloud vault was not detected…” screen:

  • iOS Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Saved to iCloud > Drive > Apps syncing to iCloud Drive > toggle Obsidian off-on and reboot the phone
  • iOS Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Saved to iCloud > Drive > toggle Sync this iPhone off-on and reboot the phone
