Description

Hi,

I attempt to use Vikunja. First, thank you for this application.
I am aware I will report different bugs or behaviors into the same thread. Maybe some of them are known, maybe I did some setting wrong, so I first wanted to talk about what I experience before writing reports for each real bug I encountered.

I host my own server (API 0.22.1).
I run Vikunja clients on Windows and Android (v1.0.0-rc1 on Windows and 0.1.8 beta on Android).

Windows client works, but I just can't delete projects and can't create task under my project view. I also can't see the tasks list when I clic on the projects.

Android client can't show projects list. It sees the task created under Windows but when I attempt to create a task it says the task is well created, but it doesn't show the task. Even Windows doesn't see the task.

Thank you

Alyx

The version you're using is almost 2 years old, unsupported and contains several critical security issues. Please upgrade to the latest version (1.0.0.-rc2 if possible) and check again.

Note that you need to have the frontend and api on the same version.

The only available version on the Play Store is 0.1.8 beta

1.0.0.-rc2.apk and below return "An error has occurred during the package analysis"

So the only version I can install is from the Play Store and is the 0.1.8

I didn't installed the frontend, only the API.

I uninstalled my desktop apps on Windows, the 1RC to installed the 0.22.1 similar to my API.
No more bugs on Windows. Thank you for the advice. Frontend, backend must be the same version but looks like also the clients apps.
But still can't install it on Android.

The apk you get from this repo is an alpine package, not an android app. The app is developed elsewhere and uses a different versioning since it does not have feature parity with the rest of Vikunja yet.

I downloaded the .apk from https://dl.vikunja.io/desktop/0.24.6

I donwloaded Vikunja Desktop-v0.24.6.apk which seems to be for Android and released on the official website.

App apks are not available at all on the download server, those are all alpine packages. You can find the android builds in the app repo or download the app on Google Play Beta.

0.22.1 is almost two years old. The android app 0.1.8 beta release is the latest there.

Your first message was not clear. I thought your spoke about the Android app version.

OK, following your advices I will update to 1RC from this repo.

Note that the https://dl.vikunja.io/api is not update to date, stopped to 0.22.1. People will first follow the download links, arrived to the official website and will see the lastest version as the 0.22.1 not the 0.24 or 1RC for the API or frontend.

So "officialy" the lastest API is 0.22.1 for most of people. Please update the official download website.

https://dl.vikunja.io/desktop also contains old versions.

Couldn't it be useful to host the Android app?

Once the app is usable, we'll host it.
