Duplicate of #2494

News 24.x does not support Nextcloud 28, the app also does not claim to support Nextcloud 28.
On the app store you will see that the latest supported version of Nextcloud is 28, but the app store includes all per-releases for that information.

You probably force-enabled News at some point.

If you want you can upgrade to the latest alpha release of News 25.0.0-alphaX. That version includes a major re-write of the UI. Unfortunately that version is not yet feature complete see #2503. There is no roadmap and no ETA. News is not supported by the Nextcloud company but a comunity project.

To upgrade to News 25.0.0-alphaX you can choose one of the options below.

1. Use command line occ to install the alpha
   1.1 sudo -u www-data php ./occ app:update news --allow-unstable (adjust command according to your setup)
2. Set the update channel in the Admin settings for Nextcloud to beta and wait until the update for News is offered in the webinterface
3. Do it manually, download release, replace files, trigger upgrade via occ

Ah my bad, thanks for the explanation! I checked the last issues and couldn't find one that fit the description (apparently because they were closed already), but now I see there are already multiple ones, should have looked deeper. I rarely login as admin, so I didn't force-enable this time around, so not sure what happened there. Either way, thanks for your efforts and work!

[Grotax]

If I'm right nextcloud remembers if you force enable an app, it writes the app name to a list in the config.php file. So it could be from long ago.

@Grotax Any chance those options can be added somewhere in the readme or pinned issue? That is the best upgrade path I have seen. Thanks for that!

[Grotax]

This issue is already pinned 😊

I installed the alpha version, but still get a 404 error in the android app. Is this a missing feature in the alpha version or should I open an issue over at the android app repo?

[SMillerDev]

I don't think anyone had any issue with a 404. So that sounds like something that would be good to report to the android app for sure

Ugh, it was my own stupidity. After force-installing the app as unsupported version, I also had to activate it explicitely again. 🤦
Now it works fine afaict :-)
