I have the same issue with the same iphone 6 and ios 12.5.7.

#3111

There are also other issues with iphone 6 and ios 12.5.7.:

• I have problems with autofill: IOS 12 autofill does not work after last update #3115
• And the back button in the settings in the app does not work. If I am in a submenu in the settings I cant go back.

The main issue is the broken search for me. I could make a video but it is very simple.

1. Open App
2. Click on Search
3. App closes

Before the last update the app worked perfect. :-)

Hello,
I just tested a iPhone 5s with iOS 12.5.7 and had the same behavior.
This iPhone was on bitwarden version 2024.2.0 and the search and the settings worked well.
Than I updated it to 2024.2.1 and the app broke like descibed before.

I could send this phone to a developer in germany if you need hardware for fixing this bug.

I got an update to Version 2024.3.3 (7191) . It is still broken for me.

I got an update to Version 2024.3.3 (7191) . It is still broken for me.

The same here.

Hello,
yesterday I spend some time to look at the code. the code is very clean :-)

I would gues that this bug is caused by commit 39a34bd

I googled and there are several similar issues in other software:

.NET MAUI App crashes on iOS 12 device with .NET 8

for example dotnet/maui#16097

I am not an ios or .net developer. I couldn't find the exact bug.

[jonknud]

I just looked at the documentation to run the code myself but unfortunaly :-(

Unfortunately, iOS development requires provisioning profiles and other capabilities only available to internal team members. We do not have any documentation for community developers at this time.

https://contributing.bitwarden.com/getting-started/mobile/

Is the some documentation anywhere?

[jonknud]

I installed the update to version 2024.4.0 (7272) and it is still broken :-(

[necaran]

Same here with version 2024.4.2 (7528).
I even tried clearing the vault.
It crashes even if there is no entry.

[jonknud]

I updated to 2024.4.2 (7528) and it is still broken. Please fix it!

(Or make the old app version before 39a34bd for ios 12 availible.)

I have the same issue with the same iphone 6 Plus and ios 12.5.7.

It’s going to be 2 months soon since this problem was opened here (on my side, I had reported it to support).

I have hundreds of entries in the vault, not being able to search with the magnifying glass is very penalizing.

Thank you, in advance, for your efforts to correct the problem.

I updated to 2024.5.1 and it is still broken. Please fix it!
