Is 1.6.5 the version of the app you're using?
Yup
To note, currently play doesn't show any updates available. But that could be Google being... Well, Google.
How did you get this version? V1.6.5 is extremely old. The current version is 1.36.0
Removing and reinstalling has it on 1.36.0 which is working, no idea why Google Play considered it as not having an update available, but that resolves it.
This is pretty typical of the play store. Ther s two solutions, generally:
Search for the app, and in the results it will show an Update button for the app.
Clear the cache on both the Play Store and Google Play Services, reboot, open the play store and look at your app list again.
Installed a while ago just never got to trying it out, Google isn't showing updates in the play store for it.
I'll uninstall/reinstall.
Cool. Good to hear.
Just to mention, multi communities are the main reason I'm checking it out (and replying from it now).
Very clean work flow on multis, nicely done!
Thanks! I'm also always happy to hear people's unique workflows so if there's anything I can do to make the app more usable for you let me know!
Generally speaking, if users aren't seeing your app has an update on the play store, tell them to search for the app or clear the play store cache on their phone. This usually makes the update show.
Honestly I don't think the majority of my users check this community regularly. The ones that do probably already know about updates. One thing I can build in is a version check but I find these messages annoying personally and Id rather not add them in. Maybe I can show the message if the app is extremely out of date. I can put it on my backlog.
Huh that is very odd. I looked it up and v1.6.5 was released around August 2023. This is probably before the Lemmy server upgrades which is probably why sign in does not work. See if you can get on the latest version. It should be v1.36.0.
