Markdown for highlights breaks in iOS after syncing from macOS

  • Bear Version: 2.3 (12783)
  • OS Version: 2.3
  • What were you doing: syncing notes from macOS → iOS
  • What feature did you use: highlighter
  • What happened: markdown was broken
  • What did you expect to happen: WYSIWYG to look the same in both apps

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create new note in Bear macOS
  2. Create new list with five items
  3. Highlight all items and type ⌘-Shift-M
  4. For four of the five items, click on each to manually shift them to colors besides the default green
  5. Sync notes from macOS → iOS

Expected Result

Highlighted text looks exactly the same between apps

Actual Result

On iOS, for each of the four items that don’t use the default green in macOS:

  • They still appear green in iOS
  • You see their emoji color circles

Confirming this is working after upgrading — thanks!

Side note: it uncovers a separate bug — not with Bear, but the App Store. When I visited my list of apps, it said I was running 2.3; but when I drilled down into the detailed app listing, then it showed an Update button, so the App Store was misleading on the first page.

Okay, I get it.
It’s the desktop application that didn’t integrate the correct format. Both up to date, it’s perfect!
