I see this about 5 times a day now (out of maybe 10 sessions?). The app freezes on story load and becomes unusable. I have to crash it as wait does nothing.
It doesn’t seem to be specific to any one feed as I’m seeing it on news sites with image/text and subreddit notifications alike. I’ve used newsblur and the android app for almost 10 years with no issues like this so it’s something recent.
It won’t even open on my phone this morning, even after a reboot of the phone…
Immediately crashes.
Other apps working fine.
Works fine on the laptop…
I sent in a screen capture.
The reports point to a possible issue within the com.google.android.trichromelibrary package which is a dependency for the WebView on the device and it is external to NewsBlur.
I’ll post another update later today after more investigation.
I did not install the beta, but did update when it was released. I still see occasional crashes. Maybe one yesterday and one the day before.
It will freeze/crash when I press on a title to open a story, then I have to completely exit out. Sometimes I have to wait until the “close app” android box comes up to get newsblur to close. Once I get it re-opened I can then go back to the same story and it will open ok.
yes, chrome is the default browser on my phone.
I tried Chrome and the Samsung browser logging in thru the web site (instead of the app) and didn’t have any issues in the 10 minutes or so of opening story’s in each.
I did send in a couple of bug reports late last night.
I just now sent a 3rd bug report from my even older Samsung tablet (running android 7.1.1).
