Hi, I assume you are using the repository from Izzy, correct?

The app should be compatible with all Android devices, maybe try to download the corresponding APK from GitHub and see if you can install it?

[astubenbord]

I just checked and on FDroid it also says incompatible app with my device (Pixel 7 Stock Android 13)

[0verEngineer]

Oh, yea i have izzy repo setup, did not know that this can cause such issues, should fdroid not use all repos and find the correct app?

[astubenbord]

The app is not yet officially on FDroid, only through Izzy's repo. It's in progress though. However, it should use the big APK which bundles all target platforms, so I don't know what the issue might be here

I noticed that the Izzy's repo indicates only armeabi-v7a as ABI. I wonder if that might create some issues on some (not all) ARM64 phones.

I have Android 11 on a ARM64 CPU, but I can see and install the app from F-Droid. Looking on the Internet, I see that there is a build constant Build.SUPPORTED_ABIS that reports all compatible ABIs. @astubenbord @0verEngineer can you check if armeabi-v7a is in that list on your phone?

I wonder if some CPUs / Android versions have dropped the 32-bit compatibility.

[astubenbord]

That makes a lot of sense! thanks for noticing. I'll check, however I'm also looking to get the app in the official F-Droid store, which is unfortunately more complicated as I thought :/

Pixel 7 (with android 14, maybe earlier versions as well?) at least requires v8a

I can and run paperless mobile just fine on my Samsung with one UI 6.0 (Android 14), but I still get a version warning.

Is the app updated to the latest SDK yet? 🙂

Oh boy - I've installed the f-droid version via izzysoft repo, so I was stuck on v 3.1.1. To install the latest update, I had to uninstall the old app and reinstall the github version, because the f-droid version was supposingly "newer" (to use the wording of my package installer/SAI). Most likely connected with the issue #321.

3.1.4 got rid of the incompatible warning above.
