Widgets don't get updated

[Benjilein]

I have serveral widgets on the screens. For example: calendar and openTasks. Since Version >= 0.5.8, the widgets don't get updated anymore (only when I restart openLauncher)

General information

• App version: 0.5.8(alpha) and 0.5.10
• Android Version: 7.1.1

Expected result

What is expected?
Content of widgets gets updated

What does happen instead?
Widgets keep displaying the information, when the app was last restarted.

I've had this issue for a while now, too. Exact same behaviour that you've mentioned.

App Version: currently 0.5.10
Android Version: 6.0.1

I've had this since the update of 0.5.12 to 0.6.0. Didn't have it before the update. Regression?

Android version is: 8.1.0

Same here with Omniclock and Antennapod. The Widgets aren't updated after some time.

Closing in favor of the Meta issue for Widgets #645 . Please have all discussion at that issue, including crashes, feature requests and more. I also lock this issue as there is nobody that wants to continue to reply on ~100+ mostly duplicate issues.

Currently nobody is working on OpenLauncher Widgets code, so why YOU who reads this message, not steps up? 😉
