sync app to icloud on ios?

[zuchtfisch]

Hi,
I am just starting to test the app on my mac and iphone. Downloading the dives from my Aqualung i330R via bluetooth failed several times on both devices. On the mac I finally was able to get the dives. One thing that struck me in the process was that the download of a part of the dives was ok but when the error occurred all the already transferred data was ditched again and I had to keep starting over from scratch only to fail at another point in the completion process.
This is less than optimal.
But my actual question concerns syncing the mobile and mac apps. On the mac i could go to cloud sync and choose icloud and then the app synced apparently. But not into my icloud drive. On the mobile app there is no corresponding setting. It only lets me choose a where to save the data in my icloud drive but the "sync to icloud“ as it is provided on the mac is missing.
Can i get the two devices synced automatically at all (both are in my icloud/apple user account) ?
best regards and thanks for all that work
Titus

The app stores a fingerprint/bookmark of the latest successfully downloaded dive so that subsequent downloads will only import new dives. The problem is that if a transfer fails, that bookmark isn't stored because it can't assure that any of the dives in the failed download session were successfully transferred, hence, the reason you're seeing it start from the beginning. I'll look into improving the incremental download process so that it can account for successfully downloaded dives that were part of a failed download "session".

To your sync question, "cloud sync" is an incomplete feature that has bugs. I removed the UI components on iOS, but they weren't removed from macOS for some reason (I'll remove them also). We'll get this working at some point hopefully soon, but for the time being, the suggested way to sync is to store the app database on a cloud-synced folder (iCloud, Google Drive) (Settings > Data > Database Storage > Custom Folder), and let the cloud filesystem do the syncing. It's less elegant, but it works.
