I have this same problem on Android 8.1.0
same problem, android, 1,2,3 version here
Boostnote v1.1.6. Same issue on iOS 11.2.6 for both iPhone 7 and iPad Pro. Linking to Dropbox appears to work since it does create the Apps/boostnote-mobile folder in Dropbox. But attempts to add a note cause boostnote to crash. I “rebooted” iPhone to try again. Still crashes. I uninstalled and reinstalled boostnote. Still crashes.
Same here since last update, Android.
Will there be an update for this? I am having the same issue.
Same problem here. Same steps to reproduce. Android 8.0.0
same issue
Same issue here too, stoping my migration from evernote... I can see the boostnote-mobile folder in the Dropbox Apps folder but cannot create a note on my android phone v7.0. Did uninstall and install again the app to test but did not change anything.
Hi, same behavior for me on an ASUS mobile with Android 7.1. I followed the steps here https://medium.com/boostnote/boostnote-mobile-how-to-synchronize-with-dropbox-95d845581eea
On the dropbox account, the folder that was created is "Applications/boostnote-mobile" and not "apps/boostnote-mobile", so in case, I renamed it to apps/boostnote-mobile and try again to add a note, but the app force close.
regards
You should add "/Dropbox/Apps/boostnote-mobile" as a storage location on your desktop version of Boostnote, before connecting boostnote-mobile with Dropbox.
When press the add note button, boostnote-mobile trying to download boostnote.json file from path "/Dropbox/Apps/boostnote-mobile/boostnote.json" and iterate over that javascript object. boostnote-mobile crash when there's no boostnote.json file on that path, because there's no JSON object to iterate over.
Update: I missed one crucial step. Like @foxmask mentioned below, you should create a new folder after you set the storage location. Any folder name would be okay. (Your default folder when you first launch Boostnote desktop is "Default")
thanks ! it's working. Boostnote need a new folder too in boostnote-mobile first of all Now it's ok for me many thanks
Many thanks it is now working, but you have to follow all the steps here https://medium.com/boostnote/boostnote-mobile-how-to-synchronize-with-dropbox-95d845581eea as @foxmask suggested.
On my dropbox account the folder created was Apps/boostnote-mobile/ but I already had an Apps/ folder prior to install boostnote.
The two crutial steps to make it works for me are:
To keep the notes in synch, I need to refresh the desktop version as well as the mobile app, then it works like a charm.
Nevertheless, I do think the mobile app should be slightly more robust by handling errors and reporting them back to the user better than just crashing. Maybe if it cannot find boostnote.json, an error message could pop up, giving better clues on what's missing. Let me know if a new issue needs to be open.
