Description

Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

The app does not load on Safari mobile iOS 15.8.3. Running actual v24.10.0. I have confirmed that the same error occurs on the demo site and is most likely not caused by my setup.

Error on 24.10.

I have also tested actual 24.8 (https://deploy-preview-3179.demo.actualbudget.org/) which is working, while 24.9 (https://deploy-preview-3348.demo.actualbudget.org/) shows a different error than 24.10 but is also broken.

Error on 24.9.

Thank you!

Research direction
Investigate the regression between versions 24.9 and 24.10. Check the error logs in the screenshots (e.g., 'TypeError: null is not an object' and other JavaScript errors). Look for changes in the CSS or JavaScript that may cause issues on Safari iOS 15.8.3. Review recent commits between those versions, focusing on files related to the UI rendering (e.g., components, polyfills, or CSS). Test on an iOS simulator or device to reproduce the bug. Consider if the issue is caused by missing polyfills for newer JavaScript features or CSS selectors not supported by Safari.
