Expected behaviour

Actual NC App UI opens and i can use the App functionalities like auto upload, etc. like this:

Hi @Cybercube21 - How, specifically, did you install the app?

[Cybercube21]

@joshtrichards I used the Google Play Store to install it. Later i joined the Beta program to see if the Beta will fix it on the new Phone, it sadly didnt aswell.

Can you provide a screen shot that includes the bottom section of App info (i.e. everything under the heading "Store") for the Nextcloud app icon you're clicking on?

Right after you installed, were you prompted with the launcher screen that looks basically like these?

Sure, heres the Version screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/mafJ89q

And yes, i got the usual NC App Start screen, but i also had a weird interaction there as, instead of waiting for me to click on "Log in", "Sign up with provider" etc., it automatically goes to the login page where i have to type in my servers address + everytime i close the App again it logs me out instantly and i'd have to type in my servers address again and login again. (+ It didnt save my 2fa aswell)

• Any chance you're using an untrusted/self signed HTTPS certificate?
• Do you have any other Nextcloud Android apps such as Notes or Deck? If so, can you see if they work correctly? (They depend on the main app).

[Cybercube21]

• Im using a Lets Encrypt Certificate
• I tried it with Notes but encountered the same problem since it wants me to log in the main app anyways. I sadly dont have the Deck App
  Also like i said, it still works perfectly fine on my Pixel 6 Pro, even after reinstalling it on there i had no issues whatsoever. It really just seems to be on my Pixel 8 Pro

[joshtrichards]

That's... weird. Especially since both devices are Android 14.

What version of Android System WebView is installed on them? (It installs/updates via the Play store; it's not coupled to the OS image).

[Cybercube21]

Pixel 6: 117.0.5938.156
Pixel 8: 117.0.5938.153 / I was able to update it to 118.0.5993.80, which sadly also didnt fix it

Also, i tried logging out on the Pixel 6, logged in again and now i have the same issue on it actually. Seems like it was fine on the already logged in Account but not if you try to login with anything new

I have the Same issue. Server Version 27.1.2.1

[joshtrichards]

@dsc-cryptostruct Android 14 as well?

[joshtrichards]

I just noticed you're using NC Server v25.0.4:

• That's really old (and unpatched). There were some web login flow related bugs fixed since then server-side. Any chance you can update your server?
• Alternatively, can you reproduce this behavior with your client(s) against https://try.nextcloud.com ?

[Cybercube21]

Sorry for the late answer, i did try it on a nextcloud from a friend of mine and it did work normal as intended
