Describe the bug

lemmy.sdf.org recently upgraded to 0.19.0, and a number of those of us using Liftoff seem unable to login - cf. e.g. here and here. Additionally, removing one's existing account and trying to add the lemmy.sdf.org instance via e.g. https://lemmy.sdf.org/ fails with "instance not found".

Same on lemmy.ml

Same on lemmy.ml

lemmy.ml is undergoing an update right now and is breaking its functionality for Liftoff. I can't say for other instances since I only have an account for lemmy.ml.

I'm also on lemmy.ml.

On the liftoff main page it says “Something went wrong” and has a Try Again button which leads back to the same failure.

On my user profile under settings it says:

Error: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'int' in type cast

It's sad to see a cool open source lemmy client dying :(

Same thing happened to the previous one Lemurr before it (the splash is a Relic from the OG app). Last I heard the Dev has said they're working to fix it and update it. Hopefully it actually happens. Maybe though it's a sign that Flutter apps just aren't good to work with, after all I wasn't able to compile it at all because Flutter has made breaking changes in its updates.

It looks like version 0.19 of Lemmy are breaking some clients including liftoff. Lemmy instances that upgraded to the version won't work with the latest version of the client

They changed how the Auth system and API works in 0.19, this affects all clients which aren't updated to support the new protocols and Auth systems. Liftoff hasn't been updated for it, and might not ever be for a very long time.
