The app was working fine but suddenly it stopped synching with icloud contacts. Kindly look into the matter.
This si very easy and nice app, but suddenly stopped working on Andrid 7.0 - keep asking for user and pasword but not logging in...
I've used this app for years and it's worth every penny. Recently it wouldn't accept my iCloud password after Apple updated it's security with two-factor authentication. This is easily remedied. After going through what Apple requires, access iCloud through a non-mobile browser then go to 'Manage' Apple ID. When you get there look at the Security section and 'Generate an App Specific Password'. Use that password for this app, not your iCloud password. Job done. Looking forward to many more years of cross platform sharing of contacts.
This app is good if accepts the iOS password. Sometime in regular smooth running , message pops up to put the iOS password again. And then even with the right password, it fails. This issue remains as it is for few days. Then suddenly one day it accepts the same password & it starts working
It was perfect for 4 years until 2 weeks ago when it stopped syncing and showing authentication error although no changes to icloud account, please help Thanks for your reply Apple could not give me an answer but I think what you said makes sense I will give it a try
always authentication failed.
