getting cdk-app-template working
answers for setting up and syncing. if you're still stuck, email cdk-app-template@gusfl.us with what you see on screen. i read every message.
before you start
- an iphone or ipad. running a recent version of ios or ipados.
- a way to sign in. an apple, google or microsoft account, or an email address you can check for a code.
- an internet connection the first time. signing in and the first sync need one. after that the app works offline.
signing in
where do i sign in?
open the account tab. if you're not signed in, the sign-in sheet opens on its own; if you closed it, tap sign in.
i never got the confirmation code
email sign-ups get a code by email. check spam and wait a minute. if it still hasn't arrived, use the resend option on the confirmation screen; it can be used once every 30 seconds.
“an account with this email uses Google. sign in with Google instead.”
that email address already has an account made with google (or apple). accounts are tied to how they were created, so go back and tap continue with Google (or Apple) instead of signing up with a password.
“sign in failed”
apple, google or microsoft sign-in was cancelled or didn't finish. check your connection and try again. if it keeps happening, email me with the message shown under the title.
syncing
where's the todos tab?
it only appears once you're signed in, because todos are saved to your account.
a todo isn't showing on my other device
both devices need to be signed in to the same account. the app syncs when it opens and after every change, so bring it to the foreground on the other device and give it a moment.
changes made offline are kept on the phone and go up the next time it's online.
“couldn't add todo”
the todo couldn't be saved on the phone. close the app fully and reopen it, then try again.
your account
how do i change my password?
account → the ⋯ menu at the top right → change password. it's only there for email accounts; apple, google and microsoft manage their own passwords.
“photo access needed”
the app needs your permission to pick a profile photo. allow it in the iphone's settings → privacy & security → photos, then tap your photo again.
how do i sign out?
account → the ⋯ menu → logout. your todos stay in your account and come back when you sign in again.
how do i delete my account?
email cdk-app-template@gusfl.us from the address on the account and ask. your account, profile photo and todos are deleted, usually within a few days.
still stuck?
email cdk-app-template@gusfl.us. a screenshot of the error, and which way you sign in (apple, google, microsoft or email), helps a lot. never send your password.
