Call for testing of syncthing-android 1.12.1-rc.1

imsodin · December 15, 2020, 2:51pm

A new beta release of Syncthing-android has finally been accepted to Google Play: 1.12.1-rc.1

Target android 10 / sdk 29
Nothing changes regarding storage access (still using legacy storage, not scoped). Newly imposed limitations on accessing configured wifi SSIDs means you cannot choose from those anymore, but can only add the one you are currently connected to. For details see https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-android/pull/1575

Update Syncthing to v1.12.1-rc.1 ( https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/tag/v1.12.1-rc.1 )

If you can, please test this release while it is in beta, in case there’s any unanticipated issues with the sdk bump (or anything else of course) - thanks!

It would be good to have a APK in parallel on Github.

Yeah, would be a good idea to setup release signing on CI and upload to github. For now you can get the release directly from CI:

My last post was intended as a hint that a direct download of the APK would help, since Google still has the following status:

I helped myself and downloaded the current version.

That’s simply not a prio for me. F-Droid works, if you are comfortable with downloading and installing apks from github, you should also be able to install the app from there.
I do care about google play solely because a lot of users (sadly) can/want to install only from there. I can’t currently promote 1.12.1 to production, for unknown reasons. I did contact google’s support, and I am waiting for a response.

Syncthing for Android cannot be downloaded directly from Github, this is currently only possible directly from your CI. I also have F-Droid, the latest Android version there is v1.11.1.

I could help myself, now I have v1.12.1, everything is good so far.

Looks like it finally made it out to the public
