What I’m trying to do
Hi. I am simply trying to get the app to load quickly ~1 second. I have a completely stock app with no plugins on mobile. For some reason “App setup” consistently takes > 3000ms. In this case below it was over 7s!! I am on an iPhone 16e, stock app with no plugins. I am using Obsidian Sync. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Have you restarted the device to rule out a glitch?
Hey Cawlin - thanks for the response. Just gave that a try and no dice.
Still up around 6-8 seconds. I can try reinstalling app as well.

Reinstalling the app seemed to have resolved the issue. Thanks.
Welp… I reinstalled, and that seems to fix the issue for week or so, and we are back to ~8s boot times. What is happening during app setup?
