The new Android app crashes without further information if Chrome is not installed on the device. I’m running 4.4 and I had seen the same issue with the beta app, which is why I tried the same with the release from Google Play.

From the Android app thread : [图片] Beta testing the Android mobile app The app normalizes on Chrome stable for all browsing. If you do not have Chrome stable installed you can not use the app. Chrome beta and canary are not supported. Built in browser or custom browsers are not supported. This is…

Surely though it shouldn’t just crash though @sam ? Couldn’t it pop up a message saying “Chrome is required?”

This is now fixed in 1.0.7 which was just released. We will display a proper warning if Chrome is missing. FIX: display proper error message if chrome not installed, bump up reqs committed 10:40PM - 10 Nov 16 UTC (UTC) …

I don’t have a method of installing old browsers, so I’m relying on an online service to test (take it for what it’s worth). Looks like IE does say that an upgrade is neccessary, but Chrome and Firefox don’t: Chrome 10 [图片] Firefox 10 [图片] IE 9 [图片] As for your comment that XP won’t work: a…

XP doesn’t support modern HTTPS. Note: No versions of Internet Explorer on Windows XP support SNI https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/apache-secure-multiple-sites-sni.htm Sorry.

I see that. It also says Chrome supports it even on XP. I’m not suggesting XP should be supported, I’m simply trying to understand how you decide what to support. IE, Firefox, and Chrome have all have severe and critical vulnerabilities patched in most versions, but really old versions are still su…
