Upgrade StorageBug report: Zotero iOS latest beta does not open links in item information fields
The same behavior is observed on both iPhone and iPad. Neither the DOI nor the URL is clickable. This worked just fine before updating earlier today.
Btw, have you come across the issue I reported (I guess via Apple)? When I restart my iPad (due to connectivity issues with the phone used as a hotspot), Zotero starts crashing upon next launch and has to be removed and reinstalled. Due to the instant crash I have no report ID, but shared my email address and descriptive comments in the crash report.
Unfortunately yes. However, this time it’s slightly different: main app screen loads and only crashes about 2 seconds after that. It used to be just a flash of the Home screen, not even loading the app properly. I’ve submitted a crash report in the popup window, my email and Zotero forum handle were both included.
Would you like to get a screen recording or a detailed report dump?
I’m afraid the copy feature was not added back after fixing the non-clickable links issue. Long press on links used to bring up the Copy context menu item, but now it doesn’t. Both long and short tap opens the link. I’d love the simple copy context menu back. Thanks
When you crash, after starting the app again you should now see an alert with the crash report with the option to "Export Database". Please do that, store the exported file to your device and send it to us. If it's too big (more than 20mb) please upload it somewhere and send us a link to it. Thanks!
Just downloaded the new beta. (Thanks for adding back the Copy link feature!) Will restart my iPad when feasible and report back on status of that crash issue.
Unfortunately, latest Zotero beta still crashes upon start after a device restart on my iPad Pro (11” 2021). No additional log sharing was offered on crashing, but later on next start attempt.
Database export available here: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZG6lbVZXTHe52eDGsb9xMggEtN9QFO9kFxy
A debug ID from another start attempt (as it’s either Copy the ID or Export the database): 357399190
Let me know if you need anything else, I’d like to reinstall the app ASAP.
Edit: Wow, there’s no app restart without the PDFs! Now I speculate that the crash might be related to WebDAB sync issues which still regularly occur. I get API response error messages as well as missing SSL messages sporadically. Sometimes attachment download fails several times then it suddenly just downloads.

The app behavior is very strange now. It doesn’t crash on launch, rather when I tap on the only item which was added after the fresh install. Any other item or folder doesn’t seem to trigger the crash. The item in question doesn’t have an attachment added yet. Reinstall again…
The last issue you posted seems to be different than the previous one. So if you can still reproduce that, I'd welcome a Report ID there. If not, then no worries.
I’ve added a few PDFs after the last reinstall, so I’m not sure that this is a good timing for reproduction of the above reported behavior. Perhaps following the iOS 16 final version update next week.
What’s going on? Can you reproduce this in the latest beta, or is it just my installation?
Following a Zotero update and an iPad OS update, I'm glad to report that the startup crash problem has been resolved. Thanks for your continued efforts.
