Grindr forcing to update its client app

[matias200308]

Before knowing this mod, every time a new version of Grindr came out the app would stop working until I updated it, like a connection error, it happened to me with version 8.12 when version 8.12.1 came out, and it happened again when it came out version 8.13. when I found this mod and had to go back to version 8.11 to use it I didn't have a problem again, but now that the mod was updated to version 8.17 the same problem is happening to me, I can't use Grindr without updating to version 8.17.1 , I get a connection error. for now I went back to version 8.16 which works for me, but I would like to know if this problem occurs to someone else or is it a problem with my device.

sorry for my bad english, i only speak spanish, google translate is to blame 🤣

So far, I didn't update my Grindr client and works perfectly fine. I was not forced to update it.

Yeah if you go to 8.17.1 it won't work. Gotta follow this apps directions. It's not released for 8.17.1 (yet). Didn't force me to update.

8.17.0 works fine for me.

maybe u enrolled in beta testing? maybe that forces the eager update on your device?

Same situation for me. Forced to update to V8.17.1. I changed the version in the file app\src\main\java\com\eljaviluki\grindrplus\Hooker.kt, make an .apk with android studio and it's OK. But I'm not a programmer, I didn't check absolutely anything so I didn't want to publish my modification...

I'm happy to tell you, you were right!
