I really enjoy using Newsstand for iPhone app which is an RSS reader that allows to sync with Google Reader. I use it to read RSS feeds while I’m in a train on the way to my work.
This morning I was badly surprised that I couldn’t update RSS feeds to my iPhone anymore. When I click “Refresh” button in Newsstand I was getting all sorts of errors. I even tried to reboot the iPhone but it didn’t help either. I made some real time search on Twitter about this problem and found a couple of tweets where people were reporting exactly the same problem. Made a search in Google and found nothing.
In about 5 hours I checked Newsstand app again hoping that the issue is resolved but the problem was still there. So this is what I did to resolve the problem:
- Uninstall Newsstand app
- Go to app store, find Newsstand app and hit the Buy button; don’t worry, it’s not going to charge you again
- Enter you password; at this point iPhone lets you know that you’ve already purchased this app so hit Ok to continue downloading it
- Once app is installed, run it and type your Google account info if you want to be able to synchronize with Google Reader
- Bum! It’s working again
I think the reason it stopped working was because of some changes that Google recently did on their end.
Update: I’ve just found this blog post on Newsstan’s site that explains how to resolve the issue. Too bad I didn’t look there at first place.
