closing.

problem still exists in v28.

@jkotra You may have to refresh the extension one time manually after updating, to launch the updated daemon. After that, it _should_ be fine.

At least, I just restarted my Fedora 30 system (GNOME Shell 3.32.2, granted, not 3.34) with v28 installed, and GSConnect came right up with no intervention on my part.

[jkotra]

I have tried the following after updating to v28:

• Uninstall and Reinstall extension.
• Enable and Disable
• Pair and Unpair.

...None worked.

I have already restarted my PC multiple times, it every time fails to auto connect.

The following is the log when i press refresh button(as shown in gif):

GSConnect Version: 28
GSConnect Install: user
GJS: 15801
XDG_SESSION_TYPE: x11
GDMSESSION: gnome

What happens when you actually use the Turn On switch? :)

What happens when you actually use the _Turn On_ switch? :)

I did it, nothing happened immediately. I did a full system upgrade (pacman -Syyu) and restarted, It works now :)

[andyholmes]

That was sort of the problem with the last version. There's a setting in GSettings now that will save that preference, but v27 was constantly triggering it off.

I guess there's still a partial bug there, where if you start it some other way the setting doesn't get updated. I'll have a look at that when I get the chance :)
