Unable to connect to any forum on latest DiscourseHub android

AI-generated summary

Users are experiencing an issue connecting to any Discourse forum on the latest DiscourseHub Android app. When the connect button is pressed, the app doesn’t respond. rottenwheel reported this issue and Moin was able to reproduce it. A temporary workaround was found by Moin and Jagster, where tapping next to the button or double-tapping (specific to iPad) would work. The developer, pmusaraj, acknowledged the issue and rushed a fix, which has now been published on the Play Store.

I cannot connect to any of my discourse instances because every time I hit the connect button, it’s like I don’t press on anything, the application doesn’t do anything.

I already looked up manually with the URL of my instances, added them, they’re on my main screen but then I can’t get past that.

Has anyone reported or seen this odd behavior before? Is there any workaround or something I might be missing? It clearly has internet permissions.

I can reproduce the problem.

When I accidentally tapped next to the button it worked.

Or is it double tap? That is how it works on iPad. Has been that way since day one.

No it isn’t. A single tap works fine as long as you don’t tap the connect button. When you tap the button, no matter how often, it doesn’t work.

It works exacly that way on iPad — double tap connect :thinking:

So, behaviour is different but same at same time.

Thanks for the report @rottenwheel, this was my bad. I am going to rush a fix for this in the Play Store today, just a question of how quickly the Play Store review will process things.

New version published on the Play Store should have this issue fixed now. Thanks again for the report.
