I recently had a new install of macOS, and so decided to try the 1Password 8 Beta as opposed to 1Password 7. 8 is sorely lacking compared to 7, but that is probably due to it being beta (I hope). The Firefox extension was essentially a separate instance and did not connect to the desktop install, so I had to login again and could not use TouchID for example. Not to mention browser autofill was broken and all the shortcuts I had gotten used to changed! Although I didn’t mind the new appearance, it was very clearly not a native app and the experience unfortunately suffers for it (just one example, scrolling your list of accounts/passwords sucks and flickers).
That sounds like a bug, since my 1P8 (8.7.0-49.BETA) with Firefox 99.0.1 connects to the desktop app as expected. Be aware that you may need to go into the Settings, Browser, and check "Connect with 1Password in the browser" -- I'm not sure what the default value is for that checkbox
Hey seaghost. The majority of the user interface is built with SwiftUI with a little UIKit, and the backend is our core written in Rust. Have you had a chance to install the app yet? If so, what makes you feel it isn't native?
It’s very sluggish and looks like a web app. I’m sorry but my first reaction was that this app followed the path of desktop apps converted to JavaScript wrapped in Electron. Thanks for clarifying!
Thanks again. I haven't been able to reproduce that on my iPhone XS Max, but I have reported it to development for further investigation. We'll continue to optimize the app as we move toward a general availability release.
