Do not set targetSdkVersion to 30 and 31. 29 or less works fine. Not all devices have problems.

What can I do if another dependency requires SDK Version 31?

Doing some more searching it sounds like you need to set up a WifiManager.MulticastLock lock before you set up the gomobile-ipfs code.

Gonna try this tomorrow to see if it fixes it and report back. Not sure how hard it'd be to add directly into gomobile-ipfs.

I think even if you aren't using SDK 31, you'll want to do this since a lot of phones will just drop the multicast frames otherwise.

Adding the multicast lock did not help. 🙃

I think the remaining issue is that you can no longer enumerate the list of network interfaces. Not sure what to do as next steps to work around this.

[RangerMauve]

This is a bug in the Go runtime itself and the current recommendation is to work around it in application code. 🙃

I've successfully compiled ipfs-update and ipfs Kubo from source (With Termux) for Android 13 Kernel 5.10.107-android13-4-ga753e5105cfd #1 Mon Oct 3 19:27:52 UTC 2022.

The issue is, running ipfs daemon it wants to do a migration for fs-repo. It fails and returns these errors which are fitting to this issue:

Failed to download migrations.
The migrations of fs-repo failed:
failed to download migrations: fs-repo-6-to-7 fs-repo-7-to-8 fs-repo-8-to-9 fs-repo-9-to-10 fs-repo-10-to-11 fs-repo-11-to-12

Hello @Khyta . This issue is about the error "route ip+net: netlinkrib: permission denied" which comes from running gomobile-ipfs . We will merge the solution soon, but it is only a solution for gomobile-ipfs. It looks like you are running kubo directly on your phone. Is that right?

[Khyta]

Yes, I dowloaded golang for Termux and then also downloaded and installed IPFS with these steps: https://github.com/ipfs/kubo#install-go

The compiling worked flawlessly. Running ipfs also works as expected. It's just that running ipfs daemon returns this:

Initializing daemon...                                  
Kubo version: 0.17.0-dev-9e3745ebe                      
Repo version: 12                                        
System version: arm64/android                           
Golang version: go1.19.2                                
Found outdated fs-repo, migrations need to be run. Run migrations now? [y/N]

And when I say Y it inevitably returns the affromentioned error.

@Khyta , you may have found this issue by searching for the error. We will fix the error in gomobile-ipfs, but it won't help you running ipfs daemon directly. I think you need to ask on the Kubo help forums.

The pull request was merged for Android 30 support. This should fix the problem in this issue.
