Awesome. First client I used, still works great, cheers.
I just recently discovered the Obtainium app, which solves this probably neatly. It can monitor and update apps directly from GitHub as well as from many other sources. I switched my Jerboa updates from Google Play to Obtainium, set it to include pre-release candidates, and it updated my Jerboa to 0.0.54.
This release broke for me; had to roll back
Can you tell me what broke?
I don’t know; the app kept putting up a toast message and dying. I don’t recall what the message was. Does the app record logs somewhere?
Not in a way that is easily shareable. Working on a log viewer next.
Is there a way to manually update? My home instance upgraded and now the app crashes at login (still on v0.0.50)
you can grab the apk off the releases page (latest is now v.0.0.54-alpha to fix some login problems)
Thanks. I’m probably not doing it right because when I download and open the APK it behaves like it’ll update the app but then gives an error. “Package conflicts with existing package”
ah, in that case you need to uninstall and reinstall
Thought as much. That solved the crashing issue! Now I just get an error when trying to log in, so progress I guess…
Edit: Looks like it was fixed in version 0.0.54! So uninstalled again and installed the new new update and it works again yay! I’m impressed by how fast that bug was addressed.
Click the link, then download and install the
app-release.apk
Crashed when I tried to sign into lemmy.ml, but not when I did hexbear.net. Had to use another client.
I just tested a login, seems to be working. Could you open an issue on the issue tracker with the crash log?
I would, but I don’t know how to get the crash log
Go to settings > About > Crash log
