@licaon-kter Apologies for the confusion, the sqlite3_connection_pool comes from the following repository which is a new dependency of ours

[vdbhb59]

@licaon-kter does this help? The trouble is @shenlong-tanwen, that many servers cannot be updated unless the app is fixed, as they will remain broken between the server and the app.

@shenlong-tanwen How can we build those libs? Can you provide a script for it? Thanks!

[shenlong-tanwen]

@linsui / @licaon-kter The linked repo is the rust library that got stripped away during the F-Droid build.

The library uses build hooks from dart to copy the precompiled binary, so it is just a matter of cross-compiling the rust library for supported Android ABIs and moving them to the same path, i.e, .../lib/src/precompiled/

On a related note, I also saw log entries that removed libsqlite3.so from the sqlite3 package.

The build hook from the sqlite3 library already supports building from the source. You might be able to get away with a future libsqlite3 error by adding a user-define to the app's pubspec with something along the lines of the following:

hooks:
  user_defines:
    sqlite3:
      source: source
      path: <path_to_sqlite3_amalgamation>

Can you provide a script as what you did for isar in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/tree/v2.7.5/mobile/scripts?

I just updated my server to 3.0.1, I'm assuming this is the reason there's no 3.0.1 app available, and therefore the reason my backups don't work any more? "Sync failed. Cannot process backup." Or should I be making a separate issue for that?

[vdbhb59]

It is not working, so people are not able to upgrade their server. How are you guaranteeing that? 😕

What specifically isn't working?

[TimB87]

F-Droid still offers version 2.7.5

[bo0tzz]

Yes, that's what this whole thread is about and not what Zack means.

[TimB87]

nevermind then

[kosssi]

All my family are download Immich by F-droid after upgrade server they can't upgrade android app and ask me why is not possible to share anymore ;) It's a real problem and generate big frustration.

Good luck for resolve it and thanks a lot for Immich 👍

[olivluca]

I pulled the trigger and updated the server before seeing this issue 😅, now I reverted to 2.7.5, but isn't F-droid a supported distribution platform or only the play store is?

[licaon-kter]

Can somebody test this CI APK: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/jobs/15303718645/artifacts/raw/tmp/signed/app.alextran.immich_3055.signed.apk ?

(You can't update, it needs to be a fresh install)

[cjc7373]

@CristianKerr I think apps are shared between profiles. i.e. if you are updating an app in work profile, you are also updating it in the main profile.

[CristianKerr]

@cjc7373 aha I see. Thanks.

@licaon-kter are the confirmations from others enough for you?

[licaon-kter]

Merged, next cycle will build it.

[mderivas]

Just out of curiosity, how often is a cycle? I've never looked into F-droid's build process

[licaon-kter]

See https://gitlab.com/fdroid/f-droid.org-transparency-log/-/commits/master/?ref_type=heads for an average

[licaon-kter]

Update is live, test!

[CristianKerr]

Works for me, thanks!

[TheNomad11]

Great update!

[pjf]

Heck yes!!! Updated and working for me! Thank you so much!

[licaon-kter]

Thanks @cjc7373 for the quick fix, that's how FLOSS works 😉

[linsui]

https://monitor.f-droid.org/builds/log/app.alextran.immich/3056#site-footer The build keeps failing. Is #29981 related? Or we should bump the Xmx to 16G?

And the new maplibre-gl adds GMS. maplibre/flutter-maplibre-gl#796
