Device: Pixel 9a

Summary

Steps to reproduce

  1. Disable Wi-Fi and mobile data (or enable Airplane mode).
  2. Open the GrapheneOS Info app.
  3. Tap on the Releases tab.
  4. A toast message appears at the bottom.

Actual result
A raw exception is shown:

Failed to retrieve latest release notes: java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "grapheneos.org": No address associated with hostname

Expected result
A clean, user-friendly offline message such as:

  • "No internet connection"
  • "Unable to load release notes. Please check your network connection."

Additional information

  • Network permission for GrapheneOS Info: Allowed
  • Network state: offline
  • Reproducible: 100% of the time when offline
