iOS App ignoring time changes to deadlines

[krugerk]

A user in the forum has reported an issue regarding deadlines.

I have goals that have 10pm deadlines in the winter. It’s summer and they’ve switched to 11pm deadlines since the clocks are an hour ahead now; at least that’s what the website shows, and I presume that’s the definitive version?

The iOS app is still showing them as having 10pm deadlines, and if you try to enter data for them between 10pm and 11pm it puts the data in for the next day (which would be correct if it was a 10pm deadline, but the website says it’s 11pm.)

If I had to guess at the steps and expecations, ...

The steps to reproduce the bug from scratch

• set deadlines for 10pm on the website
• let the goals survive a switch into or out of daylight savings time (summer time)

A clear/concise description of what you expected to happen

• the deadline, 10pm, remains the 10pm deadline whether or not DST is in effect or not
• the deadline does not switch to 11pm
• the app and website show the same deadline
• showing it with timezone data if necessariy

What actually happened instead

• ios app shows 10pm whereas the website shows 11pm
• data entered in the ios app up until 10pm counts as "today"
• data entered in the ios app after 10pm counts as "tomorrow"
• data entered in the ios app before 11pm counts as "today"

Scratch notes, braindumps, additional context; don't let the above slow you down from reporting something fishy! Report first, ask questions (and fill in repro steps) later!

• how does the user's timezone setting affect the website, the ios app?
• the ios app merely lists it, but does not allow editing it and does not use it to interpret any dates/timestamps/timeintervals
