Syncthing version 1.28.1 - untrusted file transfer fails with disconnection or stalling

I’m trying to sync my todo.txt formatted file between my macOS laptop and my Android phone. I’m using the untrusted mode to transfer it between the two devices, one running Syncthing version 1.28.1 from the Homebrew package, and the other using Syncthing-Fork version 1.28.0.0.

The problem is that — between restarts of either client — the progress is either stalled at 0% or presenting an error such as no recent network activity (23:13:44) or i/o timeout (23:14:14). I have attached the log. I don’t know a lot about networking, so I included the entire log with information I thought was sensitive redacted.

Happy holidays! I appreciate any help I can get.

Verifying

If you would like to verify the authenticity or integrity of the file, you can use the SHA256 checksum and also verify that the file was signed by my Minisign signature.

SHA256 checksum

Use the sha256sum command and make sure the results match these:
7c8a1933b9f04903f3f6fa68ee4730dc60e7a76c35305ce71d9a90f4a1389a08  syncthing.log

Minisign signature

Minisign, a simple tool to verify file signatures

Use this command to verify the signature with Minisign:
minisign -Vm syncthing.log -P RWQobxxwFN8HtS7gHaHtxORuRMB4uJpiWQBhcGBJCxfEiJoZ8aUzsSxX

Just to be clear, is the folder type set to “Receive Encrypted” on at least one of the two devices?

Upgrade from 1.28.0 which has a bug in this area.

Perfect, thank you so much! For me, it was a bit of a double whammy, as both the versions in the Homebrew cask version of Syncthing and Syncthing–Fork for Android were out of date. I switched to the Homebrew formula and started Syncthing from Termux. Those worked just fine.
