Mobile app keeps crashing on Apple devices

When I launch the app on both iPhone and iPad the starter screen appears then immediately shuts down. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and restarted both devices multiple times.

Mobile app keeps crashing on Apple devices

Welcome to the Community, Mike Headley. I appreciate your detailed information.

 

Since you've already uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I'd recommend trying to refresh its data on both devices.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. Go to Menu (☰), then Help & Feedback.
  2. Tap Refresh Data.
  3. Select Refresh.

 

If your app continues crashing while opening after troubleshooting, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up the account in a secure environment, conduct further research with you, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

 

While you're unable to access your account through the app, you have the option of signing in with a web browser.

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Thanks for your help Zack. I’m not able to follow your instructions though, because the apps on my apple devices won’t stay open long enough to do anything. When I select the app the Intuit page is displayed and immediately crashes.

I see you are experiencing an issue with the QuickBooks Online app suddenly shutting down on both your iPhone and iPad. We are prepared to tackle this issue promptly to ensure that your business operations continue to run smoothly without any disruptions. Your seamless experience is our priority, and we are here to support you through this resolution process.

 

Since this issue began last week without any new updates to your Apple devices, it's possible that the problem might stem from a recent update on our end. First, please verify that both your iPhone and iPad are running on the latest OS, iOS 16.0 or later. This can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.

 

Next, could you please check if your QuickBooks Online app is updated to the latest version, which is 24.12.5 as of December 21, 2024?

 

If updating does not resolve the issue, I recommend reaching out directly to our QuickBooks Support team. They can provide more targeted assistance and possibly offer a timeline for a fix if this is indeed related to a recent bug.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any more help with mobile app updates. We're here to make sure your experience is trouble-free.

Same issue here started last week.  QB - we pay enough money to keep this ap running properly.  Please do what is necessary to get the issue resolved.

I've also gone through all the online steps of refreshing, removing, and reinstalling the ap.  There's obviously a bug in it and it needs fixed immediately.

While I appreciate the response, I’m not here for work arounds.  I can work from a desktop, but the mobile app is vital for on the go operations.  I fully expect this to be escalated to the appropriate level so that Intuit can resolve the app crashing on mine - and others - mobile devices.  Please escalate and resolve.

This is also happening on my phone. The app has been fine for months and suddenly in December won’t open for a second. Instantly crashing. I haven’t changed anything on my phone. Please can this be looked into as this is an issue for a few people.
