Greetings, recently having solved the problem of the live, I was able to finish updating my app, download it on each device and everything is fine. but in the first run of the app, local variables don’t work until the second run, (tested on One Plus7 android 10 and IPad 6th Gen with ios 13.4.5) and it also has problems when recovering some data from firebase (only in iOs) previously it worked properly. I hope this information helps you to move forward so that I can publish my update. 🙃 ---

> local variables don’t work What do you call local variables and where do they not work? I have both local and global variables working. If variables don’t work, you can use components instead. ---

Hi Dom and Darren, Just tried my mini app litmus test and yep, it appears that variables ARE maintaining values between screen changes now. Thanks to you and the team for fixing it. 🙂 ---

To transfer data between screens, you can use a block, such as Alert.setTitle and Alert.getTitle. ---

I had to change the variables from “app” to “stored” so that it could work on iOs. but Firebase problem persists, GET doesn’t work. These blocks that I attach when I run it with android works but not on ios. and before if it worked.! Edit: Solved the firebase, the problem was that the PUSH ID of the Ipad where I was testing did not have any stamp in the database, I confused it with the userID. my apologies! ---

Try to make your variables as stored variables. Normally it will be saved automatically on all screens. ---
