Broken synchronization on Android app in Self-hosted mode

Current Behavior

Android app doesn't want to sync with self-hosted setup. Whereas PC version works fine with the same server. I've checked PC with local storage deletion, so when I launch PC Anytype with empty local storage it synchronize data from server. Android app is constantly on "Prepare" status without any updates. If I made small changes on PC Anytype, close it after "Sync" green icon appeared, and open Android Anytype it doesn't update at all, waiting forever with "Prepare" status. It only updated when I launch PC Anytype.

Expected Behavior

Android should sync from server in the same stable way as on PC version

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install and launch docker sync for the self-hosted mode https://github.com/anyproto/any-sync-dockercompose
2. Install latest PC Anytype (0.41.1)
3. Install latest Android Anytype (0.30.17)
4. Launch PC version, make some notes and wait for sync updated status
5. Close PC version
6. Open Android version
7. Wait forever...

Environment

- OS: Android 14
- Version:0.30.17

Anything else?

This bug still exists in 0.39.32. One workaround is to use P2P connection.

@pompydev: how do I do that? I'm on the same WLAN as my laptop and both sides say "no device connected". Restarting the app(s) doesn't do anything...

[pompydev]

@Soukyuu

• make sure you're not using a VPN
• try updating the apps
• try restarting either or both apps

[pompydev]

@Onefabis @Soukyuu try https://github.com/grishy/any-sync-bundle. It fixed all the issues for me.

I'm assuming there's a missing part of the infra in the dockercompose which this project provides.

@pompydev: the link looks interesting, I'll take a look at it if my server has to be re-setup.

I'm not quite sure how that helps with the P2P trouble, though, if P2P requires a working server, it's not really P2P...

[pompydev]

Sorry, I meant it fixes the original broken sync bug reported in the issue. Not P2P.
