Occurrence Conditions

We have confirmed that the issue occurs when an app is opened or operated when all of the following conditions are met:

  • Mobile app version 4.0.0~4.1.1
  • Teachme Biz prompts user to log in again due to session expiration, password change, etc.
  • The account name was entered incorrectly when trying to re-login, and logging in failed one or more times

*It doesn't matter which app version you use when you fail to log in again.

What should I do if I was affected?

A fix for this issue has been released.
Please update the app to the latest 4.1.2 version.
Once the app is updated, log in with the same account from the re-login screen. Then you will be able to "Save as draft" and "Publish" manuals that failed to save to the server before.

If it is difficult to update the app immediately, please try the workaround in the next section.

Workaround

Follow below steps to log out from the app and log in again:

▼Log in / Log out (iOS version)

By logging out from the app, the issue will be temporarily resolved until all the conditions are met again.
Note that all the manual data that has not been saved as a draft or published will be deleted when you log out.
Before logging out, please consider taking notes of what you have created or edited.

Reinstall the app

By reinstalling the app, the issue will be temporarily resolved until all the conditions are met again.

*If you are using device restriction function, the device ID will change once you reinstall the app. In this case, you need to obtain a new device ID and edit device restriction settings.
