anyone else having issues with newsblur crashing repeatedly on android?
I’ll be looking at my unread stories and when I tap on one to open it the app crashes.
Has been happening for a few weeks now. I removed and reinstalled a couple of days ago with no change.
Was there not a new version released a couple of weeks ago? The crashes were occurring before that update.
The desktop/browser version works ok.
Android 11 on a Samsung A50 phone. Newsblur version 13.2.3
Hi @animaux1 I wasn’t able to reproduce a crash with your data and I also checked the Play Store logs for crashes on Android 11 and Samsung A50 device but without a hit.
Since the crash occurred before the recent updates I’m more intrigued. Could you record the screen when this happens so I can try and replicate with the exact same story? Also there is 13.2.4 available as of today.
Interesting…I’ve been tapping around and not getting any crashes this morning. I did update to 13.2.4 yesterday before I saw your message @andrei, so perhaps the update fixed it? I’ll continue taking screen recordings for the next day or two and see how it goes…
Hi here, I’m still experiencing sporadic crashes, using an android 9 Samsung S8 with v13.2.4.
The amount of crashes has definitely reduced after the update from 13.2.3 to the current version, but I still get them sometimes.
My steps to reproduce are:
Have the app in the unread view.
Have unread feeds in several folders (don’t know if its a deciding factor, but maybe at least 5 or 6 folders, with maybe 10-15 feeds in total).
Have swipe left-to-right to save a story, right-to-left to unsave set.
Go iteratively from top to bottom through all the feeds. Click on one, saving a story or more (not in all the feeds) by swiping, mark all stories in a feed as read (which brings me back to the “unread” view). It can also be that I save a story by mistake and immediately unsave it. This also doesn’t happen often and I couldn’t say that it matches with when the crashes happen.
Depending on the speed of this processing of the feeds, I get crashes or not.
I can imagine that this is not the most standard behaviour of how to handle stories, but up until 12.3.2. I can’t recall to have crashes, then it skyrocketed in 12.3.3. and reduced (but not disappeared) in the current version.
