This is understandable, but… when we change the image, and click the Refresh button in the app at design time where we define the URL, surely the expectation is to flush the cache and fetch the image again? If, not what is the refresh button for?
I just updated 7 images that I use in an image gallery widget. No URL changes. 2 out of the 7 images have updated themselves. I have clicked the refresh on all 7 and I have tried editing the URL and setting it back again on one that won’t update to no avail.
Yep, of course, we are caching them, so they wouldn’t be downloaded every time. Ill remove cache for images reload logic in the image widget settings, so it will be possible to refresh them after a change
FYI, I am not sure if the cached images invalided themselves after some days, or if you flushed them, but the new copies of the hosted files are now appearing in my app…
Flush/refresh still needed though… just adding the info that they did come right eventually.
That’s odd, this post is for iOS also in android it updates automatically when the url change, at least for my 2 android devices that I’ve checked.
I suppose that if there is a lib update instead of app update it might be beneficial for the iOS devices too. Idk if that’s possible though.
