Preparing for Android release
🕑 Added 2022-04-07 12:40:39 +0000 UTCHi! We've just uploaded a new build of the Android app. We want to speed up the process and release it sooner to make use of the heightened attention on Mastodon due to the news of Elon Musk becoming a Twitter shareholder (Mastodon was trending on Twitter yesterday).
This could be the build that gets uploaded to the Play Store. Please test it and write your feedback in the comments below!
Edit: Apparently the App Center SDK responsible for notifying about new versions and sending crash reports was not included due to a bug at the time of this Patreon post, so I ask you to download the latest version manually so we can get all the crash reports. Thank you!

Hi, I just gave up trying to establish the Android app. I will stick with the Windows desktop method. I entered my name, user name, email address and the site generated password three times without getting any message on my Gmail? Time is scarce folks.

Can't install the app. Goes all the way and then tells me it is not installed. Even after unlocking...

Deleting posts is a little buggy. Also it'd be super nice to edit posts.

Build 25 crashes on opening. It doesn't crashes if I am not logged in but as soon as I setup my account it closes.

I'm up to build 23, continues to be good except for lack of notifications for me.

Gifs are taking a long time to load, around 6 seconds after full-screening, same gif loads instantly on instance site

Installed all along with tusky now as well. Looks and feels quite good, but is pretty bare-bone by now. Do you by chance have some kind of roadmap, public wishlist, ... for that? ποΈ

Toots with a " in them have the " html escaped as " in notifications here's a screenshot: https://mastodon.social/@travis/108097960107983685

- I'd love to see avatars at the list when switching the account. - Can't see if someone is following me at their profile - It's not possible to enable notifications if someone posts, also no notification if enabled on the web Thanks for your work, love it!

Is there any instance-side dependency? I'm on hackers.town which is 3.4.6+glitch
Wilhelm Fitzpatrick
Yes. Stock Android 11 on a Surface Duo 2, w/all the Google trimmings.

Do you have Google Play Services?
Wilhelm Fitzpatrick
Definitely _not_ getting notifications even after resetting the app. Also tried turning the notification toggles on and off.

Just got a crash while scrolling left and right on the search bar tab scrolling between the posts, hastags, news, for you tabs. Can't seem to reproduce it, Pixel 6 Pro latest Android version

Seconding Gboard gif insertion doesn't work. "Mastodon doesn't support image insertion here"
Wilhelm Fitzpatrick
This toot showed its link preview outside the CW in app, but correctly hides it on the web https://chat.noelle.codes/@noelle/108092180106988227

Have the app installed alongside Tusky, got a notification in Tusky for a boost, but didn't show up in this app. I'll try clearing storage and relogging in in case that matters.

And another one and hopefully the last one: if you mark an instance in the "Get started" view, scroll out the view and mark another instance, the checkbox will stay in the previous one.

And I miss an option to enable/disable GIF autoplay. That only seems to work with emojis and avatars. iOS seems to already have this feature. Also I'm really missing scrubbing through videos and play/pause them. I'd like to help with the German translation.
Leonie
GBoard GIFs aren't supported as well
Travis Hardiman
The emoji picker doesn't work for me: https://mastodon.social/@travis/108091176419287649

No notifications, favourites counter doesn't show actual numbers and updates sporadically, sometimes the app crashes on GCM
