i am trying to get obsidian to log in the obsidian app on iOS. i did have obsidian logged in but without connection to any vaults, i just had the app on my phone and logged into my account but nothing was synced or in the app at all. i deleted the app (not a complete uninstall, as the option in the app store was only to add back to my device) and redownloaded it at a few days later and it is no longer working. it just shows a black screen with the obsidian logo which then disappears and it becomes a black screen no matter how long it has been there.
Things I have tried
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app from the home page, going through phone storage to delete and reinstall, rebooting my phone. i don’t believe it has anything to do with my existing remote vaults on my computer as those have not been synced at all anywhere else other than google drive and i have not tried to sync these to my phone yet. i have tried to look up solutions to this but cannot find much for the obsidian iOS app.
it won’t let me even try to login to the obsidian app. there isn’t an option to log into the app. it is completely black once the obsidian startup logo fades.
i do not have the vaults on my iphone. they are on my computer, no vault is connected to my iphone. there is no vault to do either procedure with, and i cannot create one as the ios app does not start. there is no obsidian data on my phone other than the ios app.
Ah okay, thanks for telling me this! If it is the files you need you could still access the vault through the ‘Files’ app on your iPhone, and you could extract the files you need from there into a different place.
i wanted to sync my existing obsidian vault onto my iphone, so my issue is with the app not starting up at all. i don’t have any files on my iphone app for obsidian. the iOS app is not doing anything other than just having a black screen, which is what i’m looking for help for.
according to an obsidian support person on discord, this is a bug that will be fixed in the newest update release for the iOS app, not sure when that will be necessarily but should be soon.
