kenkcooper613	Posted: Sep 29, 2013 Score: 1 Reference kenkcooper613 Posted: Sep 29, 2013 Score: 1 Reference I've been using TextExpander Touch for iOS with Toodledo for iOS for over a year with no problem. Recently I've noticed that the integration is no longer working. I've contacted the TextExpander folks and they've asked me to check on support from Toodledo. Any ideas if this should be working?
Jake Toodledo Founder	Posted: Sep 30, 2013 Score: 0 Reference Jake (Founder) Posted: Sep 30, 2013 Score: 0 Reference When we had to submit our app to Apple for iOS7 compatibility, a bug in TextExpander was preventing our app from being approved. So, we disabled TextExpander support temporarily so that we could release our iOS7 compatibility update. Since then, we have already re-enabled and fixed TextExpander, so it will be back in the next update, which we are finishing up soon.

Jake Toodledo Founder	Posted: Nov 14, 2013 Score: 0 Reference Jake (Founder) Posted: Nov 14, 2013 Score: 0 Reference We tried to get text expander to work, but text expander appears to still have some iOS 7 bugs. In our testing, it crashed our app a lot and we couldn't find a way to get around it. We have an email out to the developers behind text expander to see what can be done about this and we hope to restore it in the future.
kleerkoat	Posted: Nov 15, 2013 Score: 0 Reference kleerkoat Posted: Nov 15, 2013 Score: 0 Reference what is it with ios7 that crippled text expander? a lot of devs are complaining about it also.
kenkcooper613	Posted: Nov 15, 2013 Score: 0 Reference kenkcooper613 Posted: Nov 15, 2013 Score: 0 Reference I contacted the textexpander folks. It seems that Apple has changed some things in iOS7 that forced them to make some changes. They have been able to get many apps updated, so I'm sure if the Toodledo folks and TextExpander folks work together it can be resolved. I'm just one person who would really like this feature back working again. Hopefully I'm not the only one.
Jake Toodledo Founder	Posted: Nov 15, 2013 Score: 0 Reference Jake (Founder) Posted: Nov 15, 2013 Score: 0 Reference You'll have to ask Text Expander what is wrong with their service. All I know is that when Text Expander is enabled, our app crashes any time a text expander snippet is activated.

I am no longer a programmer and I cannot be the middle man. I REALLY would appreciate it. Hopefully I'm not the only one.

All I know is that when Text Expander is enabled, our app crashes any time a text expander snippet is activated. I did contact the folks at TE. In essence, apple quashed a way that some apps were abusing the previous way of using snippets (persistent pasteboard), and changed to a different scheme ("shared snippet" reminder). they said that they had been contacted by toodledo, but were not able to achieve a fix before this toodledo release. they told me they have been waiting for the toodledo developer to contact them again, as they had started to get some good diagnostic data before the debugging stopped last week. I sure hope this happens soon! OR, give us an easy way to date/time stamp (with initials) in the note field of tasks. this is what I use TE Touch for, almost exclusively. in fact, when I asked years ago how to get time/date stamps in toodledo notes, the official answer was maybe someday, but in the meantime use a program like TextExpander. Please give us this functionality, one way or the other! thanks!!!
Jake Toodledo Founder	Posted: Nov 18, 2013 Score: 0 Reference Jake (Founder) Posted: Nov 18, 2013 Score: 0 Reference We had to stop working on the TE issue so that we could wrap up our release and work on some more pressing issues (crashes). We will return to restoring TE in the future. We will probably wait for TE to release an update to their library before we try again.

daniel_h	Posted: Dec 02, 2013 Score: 0 Reference daniel_h Posted: Dec 02, 2013 Score: 0 Reference so SmileSoftware has officially released their new TE Touch app. I checked their current list of compatible apps - zero! I'm officially bummed. is letting us time/date stamp entries in the notes field on the horizon?

buckeyetex315	Posted: Dec 13, 2013 Score: 1 Reference buckeyetex315 Posted: Dec 13, 2013 Score: 1 Reference Glad to hear that Toodledo is working on restoring the TextExpander functionality. Hopefully Apple won't keep changing the way iOS works. I really like using this app with Toodledo. This message was edited Dec 13, 2013.
