Skype on Wednesday fixed a bug causing its apps to crash with a single message, while Flexibits released a new version of Fantastical 2 for the iPhone, adding an Apple Watch app.
Skype quashes messaging bug Just recently discovered, the bug would cause Skype for Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android to crash if someone sent an instant message including "http://" and nothing else. The only remedy involved reinstalling the app after asking the message's sender to delete the original text.
The vulnerability drew comparisons to an iMessage bug which is still active, and leads iOS' Messages app to crash and/or trigger a device reboot. A more complex set of characters is needed to cause the problem, however. In the meantime Apple has offered a workaround and promised a permanent fix in a later iOS update.
The latest versions of the Skype clients for affected platforms should fix the issue, Skype said. There is no need to perform a fresh install.Fantastical 2 on Apple Watch Available with v2.3 of Fantastical 2, the Watch app's main feature is actually its Glance, which shows an overview of all the events in a day and details on the next one. The app itself does however display all calendar items for the next two weeks, and tapping on one will present more information.
A Reminders option can be used to see to-do items and check them off. The way calendars, reminders, and Glances are presented can be adjusted through the iPhone app's Settings menu.
Fantastical 2 costs $5 and runs on iPhones with iOS 8.0 or later.
