Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Crash on login (infosec.pub)

The Jerboa app crashes when I try to login from infosec.pub (V. 0.19.0). I hadn't used the app for a while, so I can't guarantee that this issue started with the server's switch to 0.19.0.

I had the same problem. I forced stop, cleared cache, cleared storage, and uninstalled. Then I installed it again from scratch. That fixed the problem for me, but there may have been other factors.

Make sure your Jerboa app is at ≥ 0.53, the Play Store version is currently lagging behind at 0.50.

So how do I update Jerboa is the play store doesn't have the latest? Uninstall and reinstall did not solve the issue for me.

You can sideload the GitHub apk

Dude, thanks a lot for this

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

It's now on the Play Store as well :)

the Play Store version is currently lagging behind at 0.50.

Why? Can't the devs just push the updates to the Play store?

This creates the impression that the Fediverse isn't ready for prime time. I understand, that we are in an early stage, but lemmy works. Apparently, Lemmy still sees breaking changes. That's not a deal breaker if you prepare for it, i.e. you rollout the client apps before the production backend. Yes, instances are run by individual volunteers, but some guidance goes a long way.

He did, sometimes the issue is with Google taking a long time to release the update to the general public, especially with smaller apps.

The Google gods heard us, now Play Store updated to 0.0.54 for me.

[–] rammer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I just updated Jerboa from the Play store to 0.54.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks for the heads-up :)

[–] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Same for me, with Play store version. Clearing cache did not help.

[–] testAccount@lemmy.one 1 points 9 months ago

Check if you are on version 0.0.54

Is anyone still seeing crash with .55?

I tried clean install on Android 13, app opens and immediately closes.

Not sure what useful info I could provide on a bug report.
