Does anyone else have trouble getting the share user data to work on their iPad?  It works on my Android device and in Windows (haven't tried Linux yet) but when I click  on "Share" on my iPad, nothing happens.

Share works fine on MacOS and iPhone 13. Don't have iPad so not sure. Any permissions issues ? Older hardware ?

It’s a six month old 10th generation iPad, so I would hope it’s not an older hardware issue. As far as permissions, I have no idea where or what to look for.

I will try the iPad simulator. What's the model?

Amazon just called it a "10th generation iPad" when I bought it.  I tried it on my iPad Mini 4 and it does the same nothing when I press the User Data "Share" hyperlink.  My wife has an iPad 13 Pro I can install AvareX on and give it a try there if need be?

Just for giggles and grins I booted over to the Ubuntu Linux partition and gave it a try there, and it doesn't do anything when I press the User Data "Share" hyperlink there either.

I'm curious, I found the user.db file on the Linux copy in the "/home/robert/Documents/avarex" folder.  Since the Share isn't working, can I just copy that user.db file and move it and overwrite the file on another device?

What all information is in the user.db file?

>What all information is in the user.db file?

It's a SQLite database with various tables for your aircraft, wnb, recents, plans, checklists, settings.  For example, my aircraft table:

           id = 1
         tail = N342ME
         type = C182
         wake = LIGHT
         icao = A3C5D4
    equipment = SGR
    cruiseTas = 140
 surveillance = EB2
fuelEndurance = 6.5
        color = W/B/T/M
          pic = BRADLEY SPATZ
     sinkRate = 700
     fuelBurn = 12.5
         base = KGNV


whereas my "recent" table is:

id   LocationID      FacilityName              Type       ARPLatitude       ARPLongitude

SQLite is very cool (and free) software.  It's built into just about everything (Windows, Macs, phones, cars, TVs, etc.) and the file (user.db) is portable between systems.  You can fiddle with it via https://sqlite.org/fiddle/ and "Load DB" and then ".tables" and "select * from settings" etc. 


Warning: from a cursory review of the AvareX source code, the database schema may be subject to change, so caveat emptor.

Blue Skies!

Version 42 has been placed on app store of Apple.
Fixes the issue plus a few other. No one reported broken notes screen. That's been fixed too. 
User.db can be manually copied over and changes take effect immediately.
Robert since you have many devices, can you check the usefulness of the Notes screen on iOS?
Thanks

Will check the Notes in a bit.  Share is working on iOS now, still not working in Linux after upgrading to 0.0.42+42
Linux version is Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
