v0.1.23 — social-signup login notice (+ rollup of v0.1.17–v0.1.22)

Social-signup login notice + unified mainline.

New in this release

• Login screen now clearly explains that Google / Apple / Facebook signups must Set a password first (replaces the dead, commented-out "Login with Google" button), with a prominent button to the password-reset flow.
• Working "set a password" flow for social-signup users.

Also included (GitHub releases previously stopped at v0.1.16 — this rolls up v0.1.17 through v0.1.22):

• CAS-4001 explore error, filter-change crash, account-creation toasts
• Shared-photos lightbox 403 fix
• 7 correctness fixes from code audit
• Album-photo reactions/replies; viewers linked with profileId
• Tappable links in messages + long-URL wrapping
• Privacy: stop broadcasting saved photos; delete now sticks
• Shared locations render instead of "Unsupported message type"
• Notification messages channel + Private photos tab in chat picker

APK is signed with the GrindrX key (cert SHA-256 22d6889e...4c01) — installs in place over any previous GrindrX build.

v0.1.16 — notifications, private-photo picker, explore/filter/account fixes

GrindrX v0.1.16

Fixes for the open issues reported here on git.dominusaxis.com/dominus/grindrx.

Fixes

• Notifications no longer split across categories (#6). Message notifications are posted by the background WebSocket service, whose process can be alive after an OS restart without the main Activity ever running. The grindx_messages channel was only created by the Activity, so those notifications fell back to a system channel and Android's Notification Assistant bucketed them under "Suggestions", splitting a conversation. The channel is now registered by the background service too, so every notification lands on the correct high-priority channel.
• Chat photo picker now offers your private pictures (#5). The picker's photo tab was showing your public profile photos. Added a Private tab sourced from your albums (private, signed media); public profile photos remain under a Profile tab. Private photos are sent by re-uploading them through the chat-media pipeline.
• Explore/map no longer errors with "CAS-4001 is not valid JSON" (#3). The explore endpoint can reply with a bare status code instead of JSON; the app now recognises that and shows an actionable message ("this area couldn't be loaded — try another spot") instead of a raw parse error.
• Changing filters/settings no longer crashes the app (#3). A preferences read that overlapped a write (or a half-written file) could throw with no handler and tear down the home screen until you relaunched. Preference reads now fall back to defaults on any corruption, the home screen has a crash backstop, and the shared filter defaults are deep-copied so slider edits can't corrupt saved settings.
• Account creation / password reset no longer show spurious error toasts (#1). These pre-login screens were routed through the authenticated request path, which failed with "Not logged in" before the request was even sent — producing a double error toast and a wrong bounce to sign-in. They now use an unauthenticated path and report the server's real response once.

Known limitation

Profiles beyond the free viewing radius (part of #3) require a Grindr subscription — the server does not return them for a free account, so they cannot be made to load client-side.

Install

Download GrindrX-v0.1.16.apk below. Signed release build (com.grindrx.app, versionCode 1044); installs as an upgrade over v0.1.15. Signed with the same GrindrX release key as prior versions (cert SHA-256 22d6889ef07459a20919d48afffe7ed7a4e3903039e15542767cedcdff8d4c01).

v0.1.15 - unique package ID (installs alongside Open Grind)

GrindrX v0.1.15

IMPORTANT — uninstall the old version first

This release changes the Android package name (org.opengrind -> com.grindrx.app) so GrindrX is now a distinct app and no longer collides with upstream Open Grind. Because the package name changed, Android treats it as a new app:

1. Uninstall your existing GrindrX (and Open Grind if installed).
2. Install grindrx-v0.1.15.apk below.
3. Log in again.

You can now keep Open Grind installed side-by-side, and clone GrindrX into a work profile / second instance.

Fixes

• Install conflict resolved (#6): "App not installed - package conflicts with an existing package" was caused by sharing upstream org.opengrind application ID. GrindrX now uses com.grindrx.app.
• Carries forward all v0.1.14 fixes (album/lightbox freeze, working update notifier, blocking).

Security note

Only install APKs from this release page. A comment on #6 linked a third-party patcher.apk - it is NOT an official build; do not install it.

v0.1.14 — Album / lightbox fix + update notifier

GrindrX v0.1.14

Fixes

• Album freeze fixed. Opening photo albums in chat no longer freezes the app. Root cause: the WebView CSP was injecting a nonce into style-src, which silently blocked PhotoSwipe's inline-style positioning so the lightbox rendered as an invisible overlay that swallowed all touches. The image-load path could also hang. Resolved by disabling asset CSP modification for style-src, removing the load semaphore, and adding a per-image fetch timeout.
• Update notifier now works. The in-app "Update available" banner previously never fired because the Forgejo releases API sends no CORS headers and the WebView fetch was blocked. The check now runs natively through Rust (fetch_latest_release), so users are notified when a newer release is published.
• Blocking fixed. Block/unblock now uses the documented /v3/me/blocks/{profileId} endpoint.

Improvements

• Authed-image pipeline rewritten to raw-bytes IPC (object URLs, LRU cache, in-flight dedup) — faster, lower memory, no base64 round-trips.
• Grid O(n²) → Map-based reconcile; chat send-retry + reconnect reconciliation; tolerant schema parsing across v3/v4 endpoints.

Install

Download app-universal-release.apk below. Signed release build (versionCode 1042).

v0.1.13

GrindrX v0.1.13 — fixes the freeze when opening a shared photo fullscreen (removed the costly border-radius morph in the lightbox). Includes everything in v0.1.12. Signed with the open-grind release key.

v0.1.12

GrindrX v0.1.12 — signed release. Fixes: image-decode/backdrop freeze, photo send (real mediaId), inbox newest-first, who-viewed-me full list, taps, background notifications, unsend messages. Signed with the open-grind release key.

v0.1.11

Fix black box photos — AuthedImage now always fetches via Tauri for external URLs instead of relying on onerror which Android WebView does not fire reliably.

v0.1.10

Fix black box photos on grid and profile, app freeze when loading photo grids, non-album photos appearing in send picker.

v0.1.9

What's new

• Unsend messages
• Fixed race conditions and memory leaks
• Replaced Rust panics with graceful error handling
• Schema hardening: socialNetworks crash fix, enum widening
• TypeScript strict mode re-enabled
• Analytics heartbeat for real-time user tracking
• Fixed seen timestamp and reaction emoji display

Install: Download APK below, enable "Install unknown apps", install.

v0.1.8 — Online status fix, reaction emojis

Fixes

• "Online in 56379 years" fixed — profile last-seen timestamps now display correctly (e.g. "Online 5 minutes ago")
• Reactions now show actual emoji — previously any reaction other than 🔥 showed a broken character. All types now render: 🔥 ❤️ 😂 😮 👍 😢
