Release 2024.2.1 (iOS & macOS)

I’m happy to announce the release of Actions for Obsidian 2024.2.1 for iOS & macOS. Get it on the App Store! (The macOS version is still undergoing the App Store review process.)

Before running any actions, please update the companion plugin Actions URI in Obsidian to 1.6.5+ since AFO relies on that version.


New, Exciting, And No Longer Broken

This minor release adds a workaround for a bug introduced in iOS 18.0 & macOS 15.0. :grimacing:

Up until now, a Note object returned by an AFO action could be used as input for another action’s File Path parameter. Internally, Shortcuts understood that the File Path parameter is just a string, and queried the object for a string representation, which would then return the Note object’s file path attribute. This stopped working in iOS 18.0 & macOS 15.0, and from what I can tell, likely by accident.

Either way, if your existing workflows all of a sudden were asking you for the file path of a note where before they did not, this is the reason.

As a (nice) workaround I’ve implemented a new option for the note lookup parameters. The option’s called “note” and accepts a Note object.

So should you run into that issue with one of your existing workflows, the necessary adjustment is to change the note lookup option from “note at file path” to “note”.


(Just) No Longer Broken

Save File and Get File no longer just crash when the requested vault isn’t available or not properly linked anymore.


If you like Actions For Obsidian, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a minute to give me an App Store rating or review. Thank you!

Update 2024-10-09: Three weird rejections by the App Store review folks (see ❗️ State of 2024.2.1 for macOS), one request by me for a call to clarify WTF they want from me, one “we will call you soon”, no call received, a fourth but positive review after six days – and a total of only 18 days later, AFO for macOS was allowed to finally catch up with its iOS sibling.

Turns out the app didn’t have any issues after all, who’d have thunk

Dear Apple, your App Store Review process is broken AF
