Settings for plugin not showing on iOS

[dontcrash]

The settings cog for other community plugins appears but not for livesync, is this a known issue? Latest iOS 16.5

Works fine on my 11" M1 iPad Pro, but not on my iPhone 14 Pro, just can't configure the plugin, I have even tried opening the settings by using the URI obsidian://setuplivesync

I see Reddit - LiveSync plugin not working on iOS. Sorry for the late reply, I was hoping someone would answer earlier.

One possibility for this issue is that the file you downloaded is corrupt. The Self-hosted LiveSync Version: 0.18.6 consists of the following files. Are the file sizes correct?

1. main.js 827 KB
2. manifest.json 462 Bytes
3. styles.css 4.17 KB

If the files are damaged, you can manually download these three files from the following URL and install them into the {vault}/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-livesync folder.

Release 0.18.6 - vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync (github.com) https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/releases/tag/0.18.6

We wish you good luck.

No problem at all, unfortunately this is not the case, I have verified the files are not corrupt, my only thought is that iOS 16.5 has broken something!

Edit: I have managed to get it to somewhat work, I created a new vault stored in iCloud on my iPad, downloaded the LiveSync plugin, this then synced to my iPhone, I still cannot access the settings on my iPhone but the plugin is functional, so mild success! It does however rely on my iPad constantly having Obsidian open though..

Sorry for being late! And thank you @dlphnkck! I have not installed iOS 16.5 yet, but I suspect this issue may be related to it. May I inquire about a few things?

• Have the cogs of any other plugins appeared?
• Have any errors been reported in the Self-hosted LiveSync log?

And, just for your information, Screwdriver can be useful for a situation like this.

We can dump the configuration, edit it, and write it back, with this frontmatter.

None that I have noticed, other plugins appear to be working correctly!

• Have any errors been reported in the Self-hosted LiveSync log?

Unable to see any error logs for the iOS app, it does however show a "toast" message when starting informing me that LiveSync has undergone major changes etc, so it appears the plugin is loading to some extent.

And, just for your information, Screwdriver can be useful for a situation like this.

I have not come across Screwdriver before but I can see some excellent uses for it, thank you!

Thank you! The mystery deepened...

If there is no document-save-box icon, LiveSync might not be loaded completely. We can see the log in the file by configuring "writeLogToTheFile" to true; if it has been written.

Manually created the data.json and pushed it over, added the "writeLogToTheFile" flag and set the boolean to true, no other files are generated hmm, the log file does work from my iPad, really starting to think iOS 16.5 broke something
