iOS app crashing

Every time I take a photo of a receipt within the app, it crashes. Been happening for around a week now. As a workaround, I can upload a photo from camera roll. That works. 

 

I've tried reinstalling the app, force closing the app, rebooting phone, etc.

 

I'm on latest iPhone with latest FW.

Hi, the iPhone is on the latest version as per my initial post. It updates automatically during the night each time an update becomes available. I'm not sure when the last automatic update was.

Hello there, @DClelland.  I want to ensure that you can take a photo of your receipt without any hassle. In addition to the troubleshooting steps that you've already shared, I'd like to share another method that may help resolve the issue.

 

When QuickBooks has unexpected behavior, let's try resetting the app data to clear the cache and refresh it into its default state. Before doing so, let's ensure that your QuickBooks Online (QBO) mobile app is updated as well as your phone's OS. It helps your application work continuously without interruptions. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Menu ☰ and tap Help & Feedback.
  2. Tap Refresh Data.
  3. Click Refresh to confirm.

 

If the issue persists, I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. In order for them to investigate the issue. I'll write down the steps below to get you going.

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Click Help (?).
  3. Select either tab to get started:
  • Assistant: Get quick, personalized answers. Select a suggested option, or type a question or topic you need help with. If you decide you need further help, you can still Talk to a human.
  • Search: Search the QuickBooks Online knowledge base directly, or select Contact Us and choose a way to connect with us:
    • Start a chat with a support expert.
    • Get a callback from the next available expert.

 

Moreover, you can check this page to help you manage your receipts and match them to existing transactions inside QBO: Upload your receipts and bills to QuickBooks Online.

 

Once your receipts are in QuickBooks. You may also check out this link to help review and categorise them into the correct accounts: Categorise and match online transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Should you encounter any additional challenges with capturing sales receipts in the QuickBooks mobile app, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to support you and I wish you all the best!

Let's get this working so you can capture the receipts, @DClelland.

 

I'll share another way to clear your data for your QuickBooks Online (QBO) app. It would be great for a quick update to fix common problems. 

 

You can also refresh app data through your device settings by following these steps:

 

  1. Setting General iPhone Storage from your device's Settings.
  2. Choose the app that's taking up a lot of space.
  3. To free up the storage without deleting the documents and data for the app, select Offload App.

 

After that, check if you can now capture a receipt using the mobile app. You can also refer to these articles if you need more information about this feature:

 

 

Feel free to ask questions if you need further help with capturing receipts. We're here to assist you.

I have just done this. This is essentially removing and reinstalling the app, which I have done already as per my initial post. 

 

It made no difference.

 Hello DClelland, which account are you having the issue with as I can see you have more than one active account with us, in the system. or does it happen on both your accounts? Also did it work before the last update you did on the IOS device?

It's happening on both accounts. It happened before and after the most recent iOS update.

I have done all of the actions suggested to resolve App crashing issue. It continues to crash every 15 seconds. I have tried other ways to resolve as well. I’ll end up calling them now but this has been going on for some time. I would think fixing the app at this point is the answer, not us trying to force our platform to conform to theirs. Thanks!

Just to join this post…

 

I have two users reporting the IOS app crashing after about 15 seconds (different QB accounts).

The app opens and you can do anything / browse / start to create an invoice, or even just do nothing….then after about 15 seconds, the app crashes.

 

Latest IOS 18.2 + QB 24.12.5
