Describe the Bug

Since the last update, the app has been stuck in an infinite loading screen on both of my devices (running Android 15 and Android 16). Downgrading to 5.8.1 solves the issue

Expected Behavior

When opened, the app should open normally

To Reproduce

Updating to version 5.8.2 with a WebDAV on Koofr causes the app not to launch to the main screen but to remain stuck in an infinite loading loop.

Hello! 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at and if possible solved. Let me give you a short introduction on what to expect from this issue tracker to avoid misunderstandings. I'm Marcel. I created floccus a few years ago, and have been maintaining it since. I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have. I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it. Until then, please be patient. It helps when you stick around to answer follow up questions I may have, as very few bugs can be fixed directly from the first bug report, without any interaction. If information is missing in your bug report and the issue cannot be solved without it, I will have to close the issue after a while. Note also that GitHub in general is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can collaborate to make this software better. For everyone. Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands! If you cannot lend a helping hand, to continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way, I ask that you donate to the project when opening an issue (or at least once your issue is solved), if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum, to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

Thank you for reading through this primer. I look forward to working with you on this issue! Cheers! 💙

I am having the exact same issue on GrapheneOS both in my Pixel 8 Pro and my Pixel 10 Pro XL.

I cannot even get past the spinning wheel, left it to open overnight while charging, to no avail.

I install from github via Obtainium. Tried clearing data, cache and even uninstalling and reinstalling. Does not work.

I've got the same issue on my Pixel 9.

Hi there, thank you for reporting this! I will push out a patch as soon as possible.

[mofongox]

Meanwhile, I went back to 5.7, and everything works as expected. Just thought I'd share so that whomever is looking for a workaround knows this is a feasible one until @marcelklehr is able to push a patch.

Just so you know, updating after syncing will also make floccus 5.8.x break. I tried it.

[marcelklehr]

Are you all using the F-Droid build or are you using the build from github?

[fimholz]

Are you all using the F-Droid build or are you using the build from github?

GitHub here, installed with Obtainium

[marcelklehr]

Nevermind I can reproduce with the build from GitHub.

[mofongox]

Nevermind I can reproduce with the build from GitHub.

The Fdroid build will not even download for me, for some reason.

[Z-Peppe]

Are you all using the F-Droid build or are you using the build from github?

Tried them both, same problem

[marcelklehr]

I've just built the app again from scratch and the new build works for me. I've uploaded it here to github. Let me know if that works for you! 💙

[Z-Peppe]

It looks ok for me, thanks!

[mofongox]

Yes, it is fixed now. I downloaded from github via browser and updated for one phone, and updated from Obtainium in the other. Both are working.
