Actual behaviour

  Nextcloud no longer works after updating to, I believe, 3.2.0.RC1.
  I was using my phone when I received Nextcloud app crash window poping. I noticed it had been updated a few minutes earlier.

Expected behaviour

  I can no longer run Netcloud app as it crashes on start. I uninstalled the app and installed it a few times without any results.

Steps to reproduce

1. Installing 3.2.0.RC1
2. launching the app and crash.

@OlivierS1 did you send a crash report?

[OlivierS1]

@AndyScherzinger Are you talking about the the report from the following dialog:
"Unfortunately, Nextclooud has stopped. Report, OK"?
Or the log gathered from withing the Nextcloud App itself under the "Settings" menu? For the latter, I would need more guidance to extract the log without the app running.

"Unfortunately, Nextclooud has stopped. Report, OK"?

This one! 👍

[OlivierS1]

@AndyScherzinger Done.

Hi @OlivierS1, my guess by your infos and the reports which hint this is the one I guess you hit this one: #2643

Does the app always crash at the start or only the first time? Only after booting the phone?

[OlivierS1]

@AndyScherzinger It always crashes. I first noticed the issue as I was ready some emails when out of the blue I got the ""Unfortunately, Nextclooud has stopped. Report, OK". I would press the "OK" button and shortly after the app would crash again.
I tried to restart the phone but it did not help. Upon removing the app, I reinstalled it and while starting it, it would crash. I couldn't reach the point where I could enter the app and setup my account.

As a backup solution, I am now running off F-Droid "Nextcloud Dev: Version 20180526".

Thanks for the feedback @OlivierS1

strangely

"Nextcloud Dev: Version 20180526"
shouldn't then work either since we haven't touched anything related to the file sync 7 auto upload lately.

@tobiasKaminsky @mario any ideas? I guess #2643 is the cause of this

Gplay release is using gcm for scheduling jobs on <5.
As fdroid/dev do not have any google stuff, it relies on another implementation and thus does not crash.
