But is it normal I lost my favorites?
Yeah that’s the first thing I’ve tried. No dice. I think iOS may be caching app data even if the app is deleted, so if it’s some kind of state corruption it might not help anyway.
I’ve opened an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/188
Now I wait I guess.
Hmm I didn’t think it was possible for cached app data to remain after the app has been deleted, but I could be wrong.
I was going to suggest that maybe your Lemmy server was busy so you should try again later, but I see on your GitHub issue that you’ve tried two different instances, so that’s probably not the issue.
I assume you’ve already tried restarting your phone, and I assume you are already using the latest version of iOS. I’m not sure if there’s any benefit to deleting and reinstalling the TestFlight app as well?
Sorry, I think you’ve done all you can do :( I hope the Mlem devs are able to fix the issue soon.
Yeah it just does not work for me for some reason.
Regarding caching, I vaguely recall some apps magically saving settings / login information even when deleted. Maybe it is something the developers have to opt into explicitly, or maybe I’m misremembering this. I’m 101% not an iOS dev so I have no idea.
I’ll just wait, eventually the app will get a new update which (I hope!) unfucks it on my phone.
Well that’s strange.
If you happen to have another iPhone, you could use it to rule out your theory that the issue is caused by the caching.
So if you download the Mlem app on a separate iPhone, then it shouldn’t be affected by the cache, which I assume is stored locally on your current iPhone (although I’m also not a iOS dev, so I wouldn’t know if that’s true).
