Omni apps on iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10

Current Versions

In anticipation of the release of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10, we’ve thoroughly tested our apps on these operating systems and we’re happy to report that the current versions of OmniFocus 3, OmniGraffle 3, OmniPlan 4 and OmniOutliner 3 run well on iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10

Known Issues

The following is a known issues with our currently shipping apps on iOS 17 and iPadOS 17:

Late in the iOS/iPadOS beta cycle, a memory issue was introduced in Apple’s JavaScriptCore framework which can (but doesn’t always) trigger crashes when JavaScript code is used in an app. Since Omni Automation plug-ins and scripts are all written in JavaScript, this can cause our apps to crash any time they load or run code from those plug-ins and scripts. This doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens enough to be bothersome.

We’ve consulted with Apple about this intermittent JavaScript crash, and hope it gets resolved soon. In the meantime, there doesn’t seem to be much we can do other than to stop using JavaScript—i.e. to disable plug-ins and scripts. Thus, if Omni Automation plug-ins or scripts are core to your iOS or iPadOS workflow, you may wish to hold off upgrading until this issue is fixed. Alternatively, you can run your Omni Automation plug-ins on macOS since this bug is not present there (as well as on devices running older versions of iOS and iPadOS). If you are encountering persistant crashes after updating to iOS or iOS 17, temporarily removing installed Omni Automation plug-ins may resolve the issue.

This article will be updated when this issue has been resolved.
