Android App v14.0 beta fails to launch

Hi there,

Very excited to try version 14.0.0 (com.newsblur). Unfortunately, after installing it on a Pixel 9 Pro, the app doesn’t launch upon clicking the icon. The app logo momentarily gets big then retracts, and the app never launches. Happy to help troubleshoot.

Thanks

+1 to this, after installing it on the Pixel Pro 10 XL running Android 16. Similar issue, I updated newsblur from the app store and havent been able to open it since then. It just gets to the logo and then never launches. Easy to repro on my device

Okay, I’m gonna be taking a look at this thing as soon as possible. I’ll be honest, I didn’t test it on any pixel devices. I just used my Samsung S22 and a Samsung Galaxy tablet. I wonder if I’m gonna be able to get those crash logs. I’ll investigate later today.

I haven’t been prompted to send a crash log, but I just took a bug report manually. Where would you like it sent?

Send it to android@newsblur.com. I figured they would be sent automatically but I can’t find the in the play dev console.

Sent!

Found the issue, it was due to an incompatible db schema update that needed an explicit cache wipe. I’ve bumped the DB schema version and it should now work on boot. I submitted the app (build 261) to app review and it should be out within the next 24 hours.

Thank you for the quick fix! Looking forward to using it soon.
