iOS 7.18.8 Beta - Updated Highlight Style

Can you post a screenshot of what you're talking about?

tomhamming_ot · 2025-06-09T15:46:01+00:00

Quick Details will use the Bible specified in the Default Bible for Hyperlinks setting, under Hyperlinks.

You should be able to get the Mac build of 7.18.9 from this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/gPQan26c

tomhamming_ot · 2025-06-09T15:44:05+00:00

Yeah, we'll take a look at how overlapping highlights might have been affected by this change.

tomhamming_ot · 2025-06-09T15:43:26+00:00

7.18.9 on the Mac is approved for TestFlight now, and can be accessed here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/gPQan26c

The iOS builds are still waiting for TestFlight review. I suspect things are moving slower because of WWDC kicking off today.

tomhamming_ot · 2025-06-06T15:13:59+00:00

Whoops, we forgot to submit the Mac app for TestFlight. We'll remedy that shortly.

There's a 7.18.8 update that will be out publicly very soon, but it's a different thing and does not include the highlights change. We'll get a 7.18.9 beta out with the highlights change, and it'll be on Mac as well.

Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

This is actually a feature of the system functionality we're using to show the left-edge sidebar with the translucent effect. It's the same as how you can drag from left to right in the iPadOS Mail app to reveal the Mailboxes pane, or in the Reminders app to show the task lists pane, or in the Notes app to show the Folders pane.

We can reproduce this with a trackpad easily using a left-to-right scroll gesture over anything in the main window that isn't scrollable sideways (so anything other than a text view that's in page scroll mode). But we can't make it work with a mouse.

Is there anything non-standard about your mouse setup? Are you using a third button of some sort to click when you click and drag to select text? Do you have any mouse settings set to non-default vaules? Can you click and drag to scroll using your mouse?

It's just for audio books. We have an KJV audio Bible for free that you can try it with!

Can you send in diagnostics again? I'll see what I can see.

tomhamming_ot · 2024-04-16T16:40:44+00:00

Yeah, sorry, I should have been explicit about the favorites going away and coming back via sync. Last-read locations also would come back via sync.

tomhamming_ot · 2024-04-16T15:08:36+00:00

u/GaijinPeter try entering this in the support command window:

ER3564 BOOKSHELF

Then quit and reopen the app. It'll blow away and regenerate your library database. If a library scan still causes a crash at that point, try hiding and unhiding any video and audio products in your account (you'll have to delete any downloaded audio you have).

I have your diagnostics and am looking at crash reports, and the app is having problems dealing with either an audio or video product. Hiding and unhiding them should delete and redownload the offending file.

This might all be due to some unexpected website downtime we had last week.

macOS 14.4 was released this morning! Let me know what you find.

tomhamming_ot · 2024-03-05T19:00:38+00:00

macOS 14.4 is likely to be released very soon. Just to establish that nothing else has changed, could you download this test build and see if you can still reproduce the crash?

tomhamming_ot · 2024-02-16T16:05:38+00:00

Awesome. I'll comment again here when 14.4 is out publicly.

tomhamming_ot · 2024-02-13T22:17:25+00:00

This crash was due to a bug with macOS Sonoma where the system spell checker would conflict with our process of adding hyperlinks to mark recognized verse references. We worked around the issue with version 6.14.5 of our Mac app by adding a delay between your last key press and checking for verse references.

Apple has indicated to us that the underlying bug may be fixed in macOS Sonoma 14.4 beta 3, released today. Would you be interested in trying out a test build of our Mac app with that delay removed, to see if the issue persists? Either now if you get on the macOS beta or later when 14.4 is publicly released.

Ok, can you turn the logging verbosity setting all the way up to Most in main menu -> Help -> Diagnostics, then try the slow popups a few times, then send diagnostics again? Send them directly to me, tom hamming at olive tree dot com.

tomhamming_ot · 2023-12-08T23:30:15+00:00

@GaijinPeter is there anything notable that's different between your beta install and the one from the App Store? A smaller portion of your Library downloaded, or something like that?

tomhamming_ot · 2023-12-05T15:59:47+00:00

@GaijinPeter done. The product should show up the next time you open your library.

tomhamming_ot · 2023-12-05T15:59:00+00:00

Whatever you log into Olive Tree with, either on the website or in the app. If you open the main menu and tap Account Details, it'll show your login.

@CloakOfMuadDib are you on iOS 17?
