To work around the bug for now, you can put your iPhone 4S into Airplane Mode (so OmniFocus can't talk to iCloud and get confused), then launch OmniFocus and turn off iCloud Capture in its settings.

We also quickly submitted an update to the App Store (v1.14), which was expedited and is currently in review. I anticipate that this update will be ready soon, at which point you can update and turn iCloud Capture back on.

Hey all,
Twitter suddenly lit up this afternoon with lots of people saying that OmniFocus for iPhone is crashing repeatedly.

Here's how to send crash reports to us:

To chase this down, it'd also be helpful to know who's NOT crashing. If you've used OmniFocus on your iPhone recently, it'd be helpful if you'd answer these questions:

1) Is OmniFocus for iPhone crashing?
2) Which OS are you running? (eg 5.1)
3) Do you use Siri to add actions to OmniFocus?

Thanks for your help!

I'll email a crash log in just a second, but in case this info helps somebody else …

1) Yes it is.
2) I'm running 5.1
3) Yes. In fact I can delete the app, reinstall it from the App Store, sync with the server and everything is fine until I turn on the iCloud Reminders. I can turn it on, but as soon as I enter my iCloud Apple ID+password I enter an infinite loop of Omnifocus crashing on startup.

Note that after I reinstall Omnifocus on my iPhone it seems fine as long as I don't turn on iCloud Reminders. YMMV, but it's helpful for me!

Hi,

Just to let you know that mine is NOT crashing:

1) No
2) 5.1 and latest OmniFocus 1.13.3
3) I have Siri setup but don't currently use it to capture actions

Regards,

[mmccormick]

1. Yes
2. 5.1 (9B179) and OmniFocus 1.13.3 (v77.88.10.0.160921)
3. Never use Siri but problem started after I used Siri once yesterday (question to Siri, not task related)

[mmccormick]

I was able to stop the crashing by
1. Turning on airplane mode
2. Go to OF > home > settings > iCloud reminders, switch to off.
3. Turn off airplane mode

These steps worked for me after I updated to iOS 5.1.
