Just in time for the reddit apps to all die :) Notes are there, let me know how things go.

I can't believe it, it's like coming home! Slide was my first Reddit app and it was the first app I actually put some money on because I loved it so much. Happy that you're back at it!

I managed to log in (sopuli.xyz), so that worked for me. Giving app permissions didn't work though. I'll be following this project closely :)

All working for me now! Great stuff and really happy to see such a familiar UI again! Its definitely usable. Really great work.

One immediate thing for me. The app did not ask for Storage Permissions, but when you get to the main app, it immediately shows a warning message that storage permission was denied and do I want to give it to it.

Clicking yes just pops the message again. Clicking no goes through to the app.

If I got to settings and click on "Select image/gift save location" it says "your app has not been granted the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission".

When I got to the apps settings in Android (I.e. App Info) and permissions, I can't give it storage permissions.

Let me know if you want a github issue for this.

Getting the same storage permissions issue, but this is astounding work so far. I don't know if I'll be a help or a hindrance by digging through the code and seeing if there's any low hanging fruit, but I'll take a look through in either case.

Hey,

I couldn't install when trying with Simple File Manage, nor Obtanium.

I've raised a Github issue for it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

🎉

EDIT

FYI both release and debug fail to install on my Galaxy S22+ on Android 13.

Warns about unsafe app but bypassable: unsafe app   blocked

The play protect thing i cant do anything about, as yet, but as you say, you can bypass it. -- Im trying to figure out what might be wrong otherwise, ive uploaded another apk to the same release, could you or anyone else try?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was able to install the second apk!
I was able to log in!

Only one issue, a message appears telling me I denied storage permission. However, clicking YES does not resolve the issue, the message reappears multiple times. Eventually it goes away or when I select "NO". I looked in the Settings app and this app does not appear to request any permissions though.
permission error

I went ahead and submitted the app for review for Play Protect, hope you don't mind. Might help with the issue of it warning it's an unrecognized app.

I installed the secondattempt package and it launches and loads posts, but it does not yet function for logging in. Great work so far though, this has me very excited!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Also, did the other apks fail, for you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can i ask what Android version you're on?

[–] PicklesBurgh 1 points 1 year ago

Not OP, but I'm on an old LGV20 with android 8 and I was able to install and login without any issues.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same here - first APKs failed to install, this did but login isn't working.

Android: 12 SKQ1.211006.001 MIUI 13.0.1

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you have any more detail on that - is it just not doing anything, or does it throw an error, or crash (or see what's actually happening in logcat if you know how)

Also, how long is your password; that's been a known issue in all apps some cases

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. No errors or crashes. It looks like it's working, with the line going across the top, but then that stops. I can click the arrow to start again but the same thing happens. If I go back I see I'm not logged in.

(or see what’s actually happening in logcat if you know how)

I do not know how.

Also, how long is your password; that’s been a known issue in all apps some cases

Now this sounds suspicious! It's 10 characters long, for now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not to worry, that's probably enough, I'll investigate and/or come up with a way to find more detail

'App not installed as package appears to be invalid' :(

LineageOS 20 (Android 13).

[–] eruchitanda 2 points 1 year ago

Update: I succeeded to install with the secondattempt apk, but the app says 'permission was denied' to write to external storage.

I can't enable it manually in the settings (no permission requested).

[–] PicklesBurgh 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Interesting considering the other replies but I was able to install without any issues. Obviously there is still work to be done but I love the slide UI and it's great to have that with lemmy. I have observed an annoying issue with voting though. I can login and scroll and view comments and scroll some more but shortly after I up/down vote anything the app closed. I think it was the Thunder app that had a similar issue recently.

[–] theory 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I may have to set up a crash reporting system so I can see whats happening there, but thanks for the heads up

[–] PicklesBurgh 1 points 1 year ago

NP. I've also installed the second attempt version and see the same behavior. It is consistently 7-8 seconds after I up vote or down vote any post or comment. I'll pull logs on my phone and submit to github tomorrow.

[–] bumbler 1 points 1 year ago

I am also seeing issues with trying to install. Pixel 7 Pro running Android 13 with the base file manager.

Error message is that the packages appear to be invalid for both release and debug

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same as others reported, I often install apps that way but with that apk I get "You can't install the app on your device'
