The issue of Unlox crashing at launch has returned! I thought I fixed it.
It can only be fixed by deleting and re-Installing the app on iOS.
If crashing on macOS you’ll need to delete the folder at:
/Users/YOUR USERNAME/LibraryApplication Support/com.kanecheshire.macID-macOS
Looks like iOS 13.4 has some unexpected (but maybe good) new behaviour where force-quitting the iOS app doesn’t disconnect it from your Mac. Generally I’ve always had to tell people to ensure they never remove the iOS app from the App Switcher or it will disconnect.
Unlox for iOS and macOS 3.0.4 are now both available with the fixes for Unlox taking up way more disk space than it should.
Unlox for iOS 3.0.4 also improves the widget’s Dark Mode appearance and also improves Unlox for watchOS.
This fix has been approved by Apple so I will hopefully release this fix today or tomorrow, for both iOS and macOS.
Also, I have *sort of* fixed the Apple Watch app in this update, but it still needs some more work.
I’ve been investigating the issue where Unlox’s database file grows much larger than it should. I think I have found a solution for macOS, and it should apply to the iOS app too. I’ll put a macOS build into beta asap.

Just updated a machine to the latest macOS and I had some troubles getting it to connect. I managed to fix it by forgetting and re-adding my iPhone, and then relaunching Unlox for macOS. Not sure why that’s needed yet, but at least it’s fixed!

A new beta version of Unlox for macOS (3.0.2 (0)) is now available, which fixes:
- A crash for people with no English input source
- Fixed password entry for input sources like Dvorak
And also MUCH faster password entry!
Check out the video, blink and you’ll miss it! ✨
I’ll leave this in beta for a few days but eager to get this released properly since that crash has been a problem for a while and I’ve finally figured out what caused it.
Not sure why some people need to do this but it can help! Also found restarting the iPhone helps too.

Unlox 3 has been approved by Apple and is now trickling into App Stores around the world!
Remember, Unlox 3 is not compatible with Unlox 2 so make sure you update both apps as soon as they’re available!.
Here’s a post on everything that’s new in v3: unlox.it/blog/2019/07/31/unl…
If you get a popup on Mojave saying Unlox needs to be updated for 64bit don’t panic. It’s just an embedded helper app that Unlox uses to relaunch itself that is 32bit which is why you’re getting the popup. The rest of the app works fine on Catalina!
Trying out the iPadOS public beta, now that iPad has the app icon shortcuts like iPhone it’s even quicker to lock and unlock your Mac from anywhere.
Got a few more bits to do with version 3 and it’ll be ready to submit to the App Store finally. There’s still an issue some people are having with it not being able to connect but I’m struggling to reproduce it to try and debug the issue, but I’ll keep trying.

You’ll also need the beta version of the macOS app, info is in TestFlight :)

New beta build of Unlox for macOS now out and brings the ability to connect multiple devices to one Mac. Unlike MacID, Unlox communicates with all devices at almost exactly the same time.
