I’ve been unable to update from 1.x. Following the video instructions results in literally nothing happening. Deleting the old script and starting from scratch? Same thing. Nothing happens. ?‍

The widget is great. Thanks very much for the update. I deleted the existing widget tool (old version) and existing v 1.x widget then installed the new widget tool to get the new version of the widget to install and run. I like that it shows the current Sync version on the Advance Info Menu.

Things that aren't working for me:

• The widget is appearing medium size, detailed style, light color mode. Changes I make in the View Widget and Widget Appearance menus do not change the size or appearance of the widget.
• In Menu, "View Widget" - I can change the size and color mode and the changes appear in the pop up window but changes do not appear on the home screen widget.
• In Menu, "Widget Appearance" - I can change Style and color Mode but they do not affect the appearance of the widget on the home screen.
• Advanced info menu, "View All Widget Data, Tap to View" - Tapping to view does nothing.

Sometimes when I make changes to the view widget or Widget Appearance menus and then close the widget window I get the following error message:

Maybe I missed something in installation or I'm doing something wrong?

Haven't played with it much yet but it installed and is working fine for me on my iPad Air 4th Gen:

So far the widget is still not working on my iPad but is working fine on my iPhone. It was working until sometime yesterday and now just displays the default Scriptable graphic. I’ve tried everything I can think of to make it reappear. Any suggestions to get it back? Thanks.

I reckon there’s no answer to the issue. I’ve messed around with it and got it working here and there but it’s not consistent. Seems to work great on my phone but not my iPad. So far no solution to the issue.

Not sure what the issue could be on various flavors of iOS (coding is completely foreign to me!), but big thanks to @tonesto7 - appreciate your efforts!

Well I think I finally found the root of my problem. I’m reporting it here so no one else makes the same mistake. I had set up the large one on another screen of my iPad and it wasn’t working as was reported as a known issue so I just left it for when it would one day start working. The medium sized widget I had on my main screen was pointing to the same script. I never realized that would have been the issue but apparently it was because I finally had the idea to create a new instance of the script and point it to the new one and it came back. So don’t try to point 2 widgets to the same instance of the script.

I use all 5 versions on the dashboard tied to one script.
That’s not the cause it has to do with some unknowable limitations in the iOS widgets.
I almost think it’s a memory leak in the scriptable implementation of widgets.
I will keep experimenting with things to find the exact root cause.

I just pushed out a new release which hopefully gets the large widgets working more consistently.
Please let me know the outcome!

My large widget seems to still not be working but the medium one still is so I’m okay with that.

I had to click on the large script 3 times to run the script before it displayed correctly. Working fine now.

That hasn’t worked for me. I‘ve run it several times.
