I don't think this is 1.2.2.3, this has to be an older version as 1.2.2.3 fixes this issue exactly

I installed Syncthing using F-Droid, and I'm getting the same error (Syncthing-Android version 1.2.2.3). Some users report that 1.2.2.3 fixed their 1.2.2.2 issue here: 1291; is is possible that they installed the update off the Play Store and that their build is somehow different?

I hoped that by changing the run conditions to disable Syncthing while it's trying to run, I'd be able to access the settings and export my configuration to reinstall the app. It almost worked, but the Backup option is disabled!

I have tried several installs from F-Droid. I have verified that I am installing the 1.2.2.3 version from the repository and verified in the versions section.

Also I need to mention that I am running on the Pixel (first edition)

[AudriusButkevicius]

Ah, fdroid still builds with an old version of go, so stuff won't work until they move forward.

According to the PR there is a merge conflict which needs resolved.

I found that the PR was fixed and merged. Since the version is likely the same 1.2.2.3 will there be issues in the upgrade in F-Droid? Will we need to uninstall 1.2.2.3 and then reinstall?

It should update fine. Android apps have a separate versionCode (integer used to track updates) and versionName (arbitrary string like "1.2.2.3")

[imsodin]

I had to push a new "release" 1.2.2.4, which to make F-Droid rebuild and re-distribute 1.2.2.3 for F-Droid. It has been recognized (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/blob/master/metadata/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid.yml) but not yet built (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid/) by F-Droid. There's nothing to do there but to just wait until that happens.

Edit: Finally it happened and 1.2.2.4 got published on F-Droid -> closing

Thank you all for working this out.
