Adaway: Amazon app does not work after installing AdAway

Created on 8 Jan 2021 · 11Comments · Source: AdAway/AdAway

Amazon app (India) cannot load any pages. The home screen of the app crashes as soon as the apo is loaded. Search function does not work as well. No items can be viewed. However Amazon does work through chrome browser/ any other browser. However this takes away the option of Amazon Pay which is only available through the mobile app. I believe adaway is blocking amazon.in through the app. Please fix it

This issue occured to me as well, for US version. I managed to fix by disabling the web server in AdAway preferences. For me, it was under "Root based AdBlocker"

Same for Austria/Germany.

You can actually see app loading the content, but then it quickly switches to that error instead.

I can close the issue if everybody has found the current solution useful and not affecting anything else.

Hang on, what are the side effects of disabling the web server?

None so far, but we'll keep this open and updated in case we run into something.

+1 here. Tried disabling each of the block lists one by one and whitelisting every DNS request logged while the Amazon app was trying and failing to load, no dice; disabling the webserver has it working fine. AdAway 5.2.1, Amazon app 22.1.0.100 in the US.

Hi people.
I've put *amazon-adsystem.com in the white list as the wiki says and it worked for two days, then I found this post But I didn't fancy looking for domains, so I have *amazon* in the whitelist and works for the moment.
Just another option
