Android: [3.13.0RC1] Crash on startup and not only

[tigernero79]

whether I do a clean install that updating from nextcloud stable app crashes. with clean installation the application starts but crashes when I tend to access an external storage folder, in my case via smb protocol. if I upgrade from stable 3.12.0 to beta 3.13..0 rc1 application crashes when I try to start it. I also sent error log. and I take screenshots that I attach here.

but crashes when I tend to access an external storage folder, in my case via smb protocol.

This only happens when you use an external storage?
So

• app start
• browse "normal" folders -> fine
• go into external storage -> crash?

[tigernero79]

Yes,
or after an update from 3.12 to 3.13 RC1 in this case crash on startup

[doits]

I have a similar problem/backtrace, it crashes when trying to start the app.

thanks for the report ans stacktrace @doits - afaik @tobiasKaminsky has a fix for this that'll ship with the next release candidate 🚀

[goldengel]

This bug eats battery enormous. When will it be released?

This bug eats battery enormous. When will it be released?

has been released already afaik, you should see RC2 on GPlay

[AndyScherzinger]

6557 should fix this, please update to RC2 and re-open if issue persists

[goldengel]

Can I test? Can you share the apk file?

[tigernero79]

@AndyScherzinger @tobiasKaminsky

unfortunately error has now moved on to the encrypted e2e folders, as i try to access it application crashes. but how is it possible to have RCs that instead of having new bugs return to having old bugs?

if possible reopen the problem, I updated from nextcloud 3.12 stable to 3.13 rc2

[AndyScherzinger]

@tigernero79 re-openend, thanks for the update (3.13 ships an updated E2EE implementation)
@tobiasKaminsky there still seem to be issues with E2EE

@goldengel see https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/6557#issuecomment-665671865 for a test build (this APK installs in parallel)

[goldengel]

Thank you very much. For the moment, since installation of Nextcloud QA, not one image was automatically synced from Photo Gallery. I restarted, switched Wifi off, on, setup auto upload again for several folders. Main problem and error messages are gone but now auto upload seems to be fully disabled. I keep testing.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Auto upload should work, but is also independent from this bug report.
Thanks for testing!

[tigernero79]

@tobiasKaminsky with the rc3 there is problem of uploading files in e2e folders, even if i create new e2e folder i cannot upload files in and on external e2e folders on external hd app it crashes because you have closed the problem?

[tobiasKaminsky]

What kind of external storage is this? How is this mounted into e2e?
@georgehrke do you see there any possible problems?

[tigernero79]

@tobiasKaminsky

I have an external hd connected usb to the PC and configured via smb on nextcloud done this I created on external hd then encrypted e2ee folder but even if on hd where nextcloud installed it is still not possible to upload the files it gives me error loading this with 3.13 rc3

[tobiasKaminsky]

Can you give us a logcat?

[tigernero79]

@tobiasKaminsky
I'm currently on vacation I made videos that you can download at this link where you will see that with rc3 I can neither delete files in the e2ee folder nor upload a simple file, this not only on external hd but also if I create an e2ee folder on hd where it is installed nextcloud. moreover the files are not decrypted they remain encoded

here url my video:

[tobiasKaminsky]

Have you followed https://help.nextcloud.com/t/help-test-the-latest-version-of-e2ee/87590 ?
It seems that this is old data, as it cannot decrypt the file names…

[tigernero79]

Ok try, thanks

tobias also do you have wlc your public key openpgp that I can use in the future to encrypt your url and various files if needed? I attach mine

[tigernero79]

my public openpgp key ecdsa ed25519
