Bug ID: 494064
Summary: Android app v1.32.4 crashes on connection to computer
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Android 14.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: matt...@weierophinney.net
CC: andrew.g.r.hol...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The update released via the Google Play Store, v1.32.4, on 2024-09-28 no longer
works correctly.
I discovered the issue when attempting to share via KDE Connect to my computer,
and received a system warning indicating that the app was crashing repeatedly.
Any attempt to open the application to check settings also caused it to crash.
I uninstalled and re-installed the application, and this allows it to open and
identify computers on the network running KDE Connect and/or GSConnect. You can
select those computers and initiate a pair request. However, on completion of
pairing, KDE Connect on the Android device initially displays a message that
the requested device is not reachable, and then crashes and exhibits the
behavior from the previous paragraph.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the most recent version of KDE Connect via the Google Play Store
(currently 1.32.4)
2. Open KDE Connect on the Android device
3. Identify and select a computer to pair with, and complete the pairing
process on the designated computer
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE Connect on the Android device crashes and will not open successfully going
forward unless the storage is cleared. However, doing this brings you back to
step 3 in the reproduce case, which takes you back to the issue.
The device shows up on the Linux computer as disconnected.
EXPECTED RESULT
KDE Connect on the Android device connects successfully to the Linux device,
and allows configuring how interactions with the computer may be performed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: n/a
macOS: n/a
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 24.04 running GNOME 46 and GSConnect 57
KDE Plasma Version: n/a
KDE Frameworks Version: n/a
Qt Version: n/a
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The interactions were previously working with the same Linux, GNOME, and
GSConnect versions; the issue presented with the update to the Android
application version 1.32.4.
