4.7.2
2023-08-15
Firetask 4.7.2 updates our syncing functionality enhancing compatibility with future operating system versions.
IMPORTANT: It can happen that the update forces "deleeching", i.e., the system switches off syncing with an error message indicating that the "hardware" or "device ID" changed. In this case please long-press the "Clear Database" button (at least 3 seconds) in the "Database" area under "Settings" in order to delete all local data and then re-switch on syncing from the "Syncing" settings view and wait until all data is re-downloaded from iCloud.
You can find the "Settings" area on the "More" tab on iPhone and iPad and under the "Firetask" menu on the Mac.
