Task synchronization no longer works with iOS 13

Ok maybe this is the reason for the problem: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210220

I think Apple has introduced a new protocol with iOS 13 for the reminders, which is not compatible with eM Client.

Quote: “If you upgrade your reminders on your iPhone with iOS 13 or later, your other devices — like your iPad and Mac — can’t access the reminders until you update your iPad to iPadOS or your Mac to macOS 10.15 Catalina.”

I’m facing the same issue? is it not possible anymore to sync icloud reminders with emclient?

Right, synchronization doesn’t work.

We already know that Apple lives in a universe of its own, and are not interested in being compatible with anyone else. That is nothing new.

It is. I think what was mentioned above is that tasks created on iOS13 don’t sync. Otherwise I have no issues syncing my tasks to iCloud.

Maybe I am in the minority, and maybe this is something like Google Calendar. In eM Client version 7 there were an handful of us who’s Google Calendars would not sync with eM Client. Everyone else seemed to be OK.

Hi Gary,
I am a Pro user an I have exactly the same problem as mentioned above.
Since I upgraded my Iphone to IOS 14 the tasks are not syncronized any more.
EM Client is showing the triangle but no additional message.

The explanation:
As soon as someone upgrades with iphone to IOS 13 or IOS 14 the protocol for communication with iCloud is changed. So iCloud “knows” if you are an IOS 12 user with old protocol or an IOS13/14 user with new protocol.
Have a look here: https://communities.apple.com/de/thread/250920446
or here, Microsoft has the same problems like em client: IOS 13 icloud reminders not syncing with Outlook 16 - Microsoft Community

So if you create a task in iCloud via browser as an android user it will communicate with the old protocol and sync with em client.
If I create a task in the browser it knows that I am an IOS14 user an will communicate with the new protocol an sync with em client does NOT work.

So I assume that em client has to adopt the new apple protocol.

Best Regards
Bernhard

Hi Gary,

just another info to support my theory:
Exactly on the day when I upgraded from IOS12 to IOS14 I’ve got a last task into my em client task list saying:
“Der Ersteller dieser Liste hat diese Erinnerungen aktualisiert.”
“Weitere Infos: https://support.apple.com/HT210220”.

Have a look at this comment from Apple:

Hi all,
I’m currently testing eM Client (free license) and face exactly the same problem (mentioned here

Obviously this problem seems to exist quite a long time. Has eM Client support reacted in any way to this? As I’m currently using the free license I’m not entitled to use VIP support

I cannot be the only user who wants to have the reminders synchronized properly between iCloud and eM Client!

Any comments would be really appreciated. :slightly_smiling_face:
