Aspect: Photo Sync Companion on iOS crashes on start-up

Observed behavior

The Aspect: Photo Sync Companion app crashed immediately on startup.

Expected behavior

App can be launched without issue

Steps required to reproduce

  1. Installed version 1.0 (27) from Testflight
  2. Launched the app by clicking the icon

Operating system/Hardware used

Same issue on both

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max - 256 GB - iOS 18.4.1
  • iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) - 1TB - iPadOS 18.4.1

Should be fixed with the next update (probably this Friday)! On iOS 18.4, we currently are still suffering from the same issue that has been fixed for macOS 15.4 by the last release.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to checking out the companion app.

The latest version should now start properly (tested with iOS 18.4.1).

Have the same bug using the latest build (30). I have checked a couple of other builds available on TestFlight but the result was the same – the app crashes upon start.

This appears to be a new issue with the same apparent effect. Although the cause of this is not clear, yet – there are no usable error messages, it just closes – it appears to be build system/linker related. However, we could reproduce this on an iPhone here and have been able to find a workaround. There is a new build (31) out now with the workaround included.
