@Strubbl I see this is already fixed on master. Could you publish a release? This is affecting all users of Android 14 / 15

[Strubbl]

I do not have the keys to publish a release, we need the help from @tcitworld here.

2.5.2 is published on our side. Unfortunately as the changes from https://github.com/wallabag/android-app/commit/b0ea81403659b1d5be5c01ac7100d3829602b284 need to be manually reviewed it might take a while for the new version to be available on Google Play (I had to make videos illustrating the uses of FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK).
