MobileSheets Companion would be perfect for me. Except that I am a 100% Linux user with no access to a Windows or Mac machine. I just now tried to run it under Wine on my fedora Linux, but I get nothing. No errors or anything. The process "Mobilecompanion" appears for about 15 seconds in the process list, then disappears.
IF anyone has been able to get it running under Wine and might be able to provide some guidance, configuration knowledge, ideas, tips.... I'd be grateful.

I unfortunately don't experience with Wine so I can't provide any helpful information concerning that (hopefully other users will chime in). I can say that my plan right now is to switch the companion app to a different cross-platform framework that will allow me to release a native Linux version. I'm still working through other feature requests and such right now, but I should be able to work on this a little later this year.

I have run the companion using Wine, but that was a couple of years ago.
It was helpful (and so was Mike) when developing a companion-like synch tool.
(Don't bother asking, the tool is not really useful.)

Not that such a comment is super useful, but I have been using MobileSheets with Wine without issues no later than today, so it is at least very much possible. I would love to see a version native to Linux for the companion!

That's correct, it's not useful...
But it would be very usefull if you could describe how you got it to work in wine.
Thanks a lot.

I haven't made much progress on it yet I'm afraid. The major changes I had to make with Windows (switching to Skia) consumed most of my time over the last 4-6 weeks, on top of the other work with the updates. Having said that, it's still high on my priority list for my tasks this year. My goal was to finish 3.9.0 and then see if I can focus on the companion app and get the work done as quickly as possible.
