This is nothing new: Jerboa doesn't support instances < 0.18.

[-] Kuro@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

It is new. 0.0.36 worked find on 0.17.4. There was just the update message. Now the app just crashes on start.

This is more than weird. Jerboa dropped support for instances < 0.18 a few releases ago. I think 0.0.34-alpha was the last version that supported 0.17.4.

It worked if you were still logged in.

[-] sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yes you're right but this wasn't exactly intended.

[-] Barbarian772@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Can anybody confirm why? The bigger instances are all on 0.17.4 still, aren't they?

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

The Lemmy API gives back log in info slightly different so the app couldn't handle it.

I made a fork that fixes that...

and I'm trying to get it merged

Lemmy 0.18 introduced API breaking changes namely because it switched from WebSocket to HTTP as transfer protocol. They also dropped captcha support in 0.18 which is the reason why lemmy.world and other bigger instances are waiting for 0.18.1 to re-introduce captcha support.

ah now it makes sense. Thats whay I had to uninstall jerboa because the logged in instance did not support 0.18

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
