Since upgrading to Agenda 10 on all my devices I can confirm that:
Using the \remind shortcut or the reminder icon on the iPhone correctly sets up a reminder in Reminders on the phone. This reminder appears siloed on the phone as it does not sync to either Mac or iPad.
The same is true when setting up a reminder on the iPad. It is set up correctly on device, but is not synced to my other devices.
If the \remind shortcut or the reminder contextual menu item is used to set up a reminder on Mac, this is set up correctly on device and syncs correctly to both iPhone and iPad.
Dear all, a quick update, we believe we might have found the cause for the reminder sync issues on iOS, most likely a bug in Appleās code where they didnāt take certain APIs into account while introducing their new fancy reminders functions in 10.15/iOS13. We will introduce some changes in the next update and would like to hear from you if that indeed fixes things once itās out. Stay tuned!
FYI my tests show that I can create reminders on Agenda iOS and have them sync to Mac, but updating reminders do not sync (this includes marking them as complete).
Use \remind to create a reminder in Agenda iOS. The reminder appears in Reminders on the same iOS device, and syncs to Agenda and Reminders macOS and other iOS devices.
Mark the reminder as complete in Agenda iOS. The reminder is completed in Reminders on the same iOS device. The reminder is not completed on Agenda macOS or other iOS devices. It appears to be with the gray clock icon, but it still appears in Reminders on the other devices.
For any reminder created in Agenda iOS, editing the reminder name either in Agenda or Reminders will not sync to MacOS or other iOS devices.
Essentially Iām seeing that create works, but update is still broken.
Iām happy to report that after downloading the iOS and iPad OS 14 beta 2, this is no longer issue. Tasks are synching from creating in Agenda thru Reminders thru to Exchange.
After a clean install of my iMac to Catalina, I find that Agenda isnāt syncing reminders/to-dos on macOS or iOS again. Events are there on both OSs, but not reminders/to-dos.
Iām wondering if itās anything to do with the āupgradingā feature in macOS 10.15.x and iOS 13.x Reminders app, which I have not enabled, because this breaks much of BusyCalās CalDAV (iCloud) functionality. Does Agenda rely on that āupgradingā ?
As an afterthought, it might be interesting if you polled users who have and who have not upgraded Appleās own Reminders apps on iOS and macOS (i.e., to the new EventKit format) to see how many of each type have and do not have problems syncing Reminders in Agenda.
It might be that those who are having problems syncing Reminders in Agenda are those who have not upgraded (because they wish to continue syncing reminders with their other apps which still store data in iCloud CalDAV, or because they havenāt for whatever reason). Does Agenda bidirectionally sync data from the upgraded EventKit format? Or does it only do it one way, from (upgraded) Reminders to Agenda? Or does it use CalDAV? Suspicion is that itās the first.
Sync of reminders is completely relying on Appleās frameworks, nothing is synced through Agenda. They (Apple) had a bug in iOS13 that prevented sync of reminders if we would set the URL. This has been fixed in the latest update of Agenda (or better, we just donāt set the reminder URL anymore), and we had confirmation from Apple this should also be solved in iOS14. As far as we know, we have not had anyone reporting sync issues with reminders anymore since we made those changes.
To answer your question:
Does Agenda rely on that āupgradingā ?
No, because I have not upgraded myself, and Drew did, and for both of us the reminders sync.
In principle it should already work in 10.0.4, we have no longer received issues. It sounds like you still have a reminder that might be blocking things. Perhaps best is to delete any reminders created in Agenda from a while back and see if that unblocks the sync.
Ah great to hear that! Even better is that Apple āsupposablyā has fixed the URL support in macOS11/iOS14, something weāre investigating as we speak.
Yes Iāve just tried that. Reminders are not syncing properly on macOS or on iOS. There are some there, but they donāt reflect changes. For instance, Reminders that were moved on this morning from yesterday to today are still in yesterday. BusyCal shows the correct updates, but Agenda is totally unreliable with Reminders.
My reminders are synching within the reminders app between my MacBook Air and iPhone, however they are not showing on the agenda app on my Mac, but do on the iPhone
I just went to preferences within agenda and had all reminders list ticked, so didnāt have to change anything, however, just looking in the preferences seems to have fixed the synch issue so all ok now - thanks
fwiw Iāve found that iCloud Reminders sync just kind of sucks, independent from Agenda. It seems to be worst on machines that go offline for a few days - such as my work computer, which I shut for the weekend. About once a week I disable Reminders in iCloud System Preferences, and then re-enable it, and the Reminders show up correctly. Again this appears to have nothing to do with Agenda - the Reminders app shows old data until I disable / re-enable it.
We have found in the past that if you have never actually opened or used the Reminders app on a device, it may not sync properly. A simple fix for that is simply to open the app, and add a test event. Should trigger a sync.
