With the new insider build, Obsidian is making the mobile app load quicker by loading the last page while loading everything else in the background. When I run a shortcut with Actions for Obsidian on mobile, it hangs while the app is loading now and then quits before finishing. Not sure if this is just me or others are seeing this as well.
Thanks for the heads-up, @Adam_Frank, and welcome to the forum! Looking at my help desk inbox, I can tell you that you’re definitely not the only one seeing this.
That is super ![]()
I’ll check the official forum to see what’s up with that!
Update: Does this always happen for you or just when Obsidian is launched by a Shortcuts workflow? If it’s the latter, as an experiment, could you please add an Open App block (for launching Obsidian) at the very beginning of the workflow; this should ensure Obsidian is receptive to API calls once the AFO actions are executed. If that doesn’t do anything, then it’s still a good data point.
It does not always happen - but most of the time it does. It is only shortcuts as it is the shortcut that quits. But adding in the open app first seems to be working - gives Obsidian enough time to load whatever it needs. But never happened to me before this last update
Thanks for getting back to me! It’s a new issue for sure.
@Adam_Frank Are you using any “lazy loading” plugin by any chance? I mean a plugin which staggers/delays the loading of plugins on mobile so the app starts faster.
Nope - I am not using that or anything similar.
Check. Thanks. One of the Obsidian team devs had raised the question.
Could you try re-linking your vault in the app, please? I try to further figure out if the issue is with Shortcuts, AFO, or Obsidian.
