This got fixed in a preview Version - you can try to use the Beta App via TestFlight (See README link)

[syntacs]

Sounds interesting, I’ll set it up mid of oct and reportOn 17.

I'm running 4.5.0 (1) and the app is still throwing this errors, so it is not fixed with latest beta

My test phone runs ios 16.7.12., no update available. 'not compatible' while trying to install.

• notes-ios app uses PATH_INFO /index.php/apps/notes/api/v0.2/notes
• in Notes 3.3.0 (May 2020) the server team introduced API v1 and explicitly deprecated API v0.2.
• Server code removed the v0.2 routes once Notes ≥ 3.3 became the minimum.
• Up-to-date clients automatically detect the server’s capabilities (/ocs/v2.php/cloud/capabilities) and switch to v1 routes
• Notes API v1
  Not formally documented on docs.nextcloud.com, but routes can be inspected in the Notes app source (appinfo/routes.php). Main endpoints:
  GET/POST /apps/notes/api/v1/notes – list / create
  GET/PUT/DELETE /apps/notes/api/v1/notes/{id} – read / update / delete
  Later minor versions (v1.3, v1.4) add attachments and image APIs.
  External API for attachments notes#826

I have the same problem. (request retry failed with retry error: ... Response status code was unacceptable: 404)
Those errors occur about a second after editing a note. I can ignore the error message, the notes are still synced. But it's very annoying because the message popups blocks most of the screen and is hard to remove.

Server instance is at mydomain.com/cloud
iOS version 18.2.1
App version 4.4.0 (3)
Server version 29.0.11

EDIT: I was wrong, the notes are not synced with the server, just saved locally

[pkzw]

I have nearly the same problem with the difference that notes are created but not not synced with the server.

Server instance is at mydomain.de/cloud
iOS version 18.7.1
App version 4.4.0 (3)
Server version 31.0.10.2

The web server's (Apache) access log contains messages like

... "GET /ocs/v1.php/cloud/capabilities HTTP/1.1" 404 4662 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (iOS) Nextcloud Notes/4.4.0"

and

... "PUT /cloud/index.php/index.php/apps/notes/api/v0.2/notes/-1 HTTP/1.1" 404 5578 "-" "Nextcloud Notes/4.4.0 (com.peterandlinda.iOCNotes; build:3; iOS 18.7.1) Alamofire/5.10.2"

... "POST /cloud/index.php/index.php/apps/notes/api/v0.2/notes HTTP/1.1" 404 769 "-" "Nextcloud Notes/4.4.0 (com.peterandlinda.iOCNotes; build:3; iOS 18.7.1) Alamofire/5.10.2"

What confuses me is the fact that in the first case (GET) the request target does not start with the subfolder /cloud and in the two other cases (PUT and POST) the request target contains index.php twice within the path.

[lndr]

Same here, with the same configuration as @pkzw.
To get to the bottom of the issue may one question to all of the affected: Are you all running you nextcloud instance in a directory like mydomain.de/cloud? Or is anyone experiencing a similar issues who uses a subdomain like cloud.mydomain.de?

[hoak2]

In my case its cloud.dedyn.io

[juju4]

Same issue here (server 31.0.10snap1, client ios nextcloud 7.2.2.4 ok but notes 4.4.0(3) not)

Only Notes app seem to call "/index.php/index.php/". Manual query on this results on 404 while single /index.php returns "CORS requires basic auth" (unauthenticated test).
Maybe the result of subdirectory setup?

[FabulousPhil]

I have the same problem. I use "my.domain.org/nextcloud" and the ios Nextcloud Notes app.
I also get the "/index.php/index.php/" showing in my logs.
Is there a solution to this?

[JonyIvy]

It is extremely frustrating that this issue has not been addressed. It makes the Nextcloud Notes iOS client almost unusable because of all the error message popups.

I have tried various RewriteRules in Apache to fix the duplicate index.php in the URI, to no avail. Rewriting works, but Nextcloud seems to manipulate the URL from the original request, so the rewritten URL is not applied.
