If you're seeing the error message "application error: a client-side exception has occurred" when trying to log into Evernote on your iPhone, it might be related to the browser used for authentication. Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Check your default browser
The issue may occur due to the default browser used for authentication on your iPhone. Please ensure that Safari is set as your default browser. This is important because Evernote uses the default browser for the login process.
2. Update Evernote
If you're using Safari as your default browser:
- Update Evernote to its most recent version from the App Store.
- After the update, try logging in again.
3. Alternative Workaround: use Chrome for authentication
If updating Evernote doesn't resolve the issue, you can try the following workaround by switching to Chrome for authentication:
- Close Evernote if it's currently open.
- Install Chrome from the App Store if you don't already have it.
- Open Chrome, and clear your browser's cache and history.
- Set Chrome as your default browser on iOS:
- Open Settings on your iPhone
- Scroll down and tap Chrome
- Tap Default Browser App
- Select Chrome
- Restart Evernote and attempt to log in again.
