Hello all,
I am using the syncthing-fork for android and local discovery is not working (see also here: [735#](https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/735#issue-775856549)) I have these logs when I activated beacon logs:

It seems to be working for me on Android 11.

Sorry for re-opening this topic!
I have suddenly this problem too after updating my OnePlus 7t Pro yesterday to Android 11. Does anyone know how to fix this? Local discovery was 2/2 before. Now it does not work anymore. I used to use only fixed IP-addresses for Syncthing in my network but i recently switch to only local discovery.
Thanks a lot!

Could you post the logs?

You can find logs in Catfriends Fork github.

For a log from me i have to find out how to get the log. The Syncthing Fork app does not show a log for Syncthing itself, only the Android log. Do i need to enable debug logs? Or detailed logs in the Syncthing App settings?

You can open the webinterface in the app and retrieve the logs from there

The log doesnt show anything like an error. Maybe i need to enable some debug info?

There’s logs in the first post. I don’t see any indication that yours should be any different. In the fork’s issue there’s a link to a golang issue with other projects observing something similar when targeting sdk30 ([x/mobile: Calling net.InterfaceAddrs() fails on Android SDK 30 · Issue #40569 · golang/go · GitHub](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40569)). So basically one more thing that currently wont work when targeting that. It worked for @kluppy - maybe they are using syncthing-android, which still targets sdk 29?

So the gplay version is crippled after November? Thanks Google /s

I doubt that Google will change its course here. “Use the Android APIs or get wrecked” seems to be the tone over the last few Android releases.
I fear that the UI-only approach of the app won’t work anymore at a certain point in the future. That means it needs to use Android APIs directly via gomobile or via the wrapper(e.g REST calls).
Let’s just hope that i’m completely wrong.

Because @imsodin and @tomasz86 had atleast 4-5 rounds of modifying the privacy policy for it to finally be accepted.
