Body

Thank you for collecting this feedback. This is a formal Bug Report, submitted in English as requested, to help the product/mobile team locate the issue.

Environment

• Client: GitHub Android App (com.github.android)
• Platform: Android
• Screenshot time: 2026-08-08 08:47 (UTC+8)
• Repro scenario: Opening an issue page that references a Projects (beta) item

Problem Description

When opening certain issues in the Android client, the page fails to load properly, showing the following error:

No such type ProjectNextItem, so it can't be a fragment condition, and it fails to load properly.

Root Cause Analysis

The error indicates the client is still using the deprecated GraphQL type ProjectNextItem, which belongs to the old Projects (beta) system. GitHub has migrated to Projects (new), where the corresponding GraphQL type is ProjectV2Item (accessed via the ProjectV2 / ProjectV2Item connection).

ProjectNextItem has been removed from the current API schema, so the client cannot resolve that fragment at runtime, which causes the entire issue page load to fail.

Suggested Fixes

1. Client-side: Update the ProjectNextItem fragment in GraphQL queries to ProjectV2Item to align with the latest API schema.
2. Server-side compatibility: If the client has not been updated yet, consider keeping a compatibility alias for ProjectNextItem at the schema layer (marked deprecated rather than removed outright) to avoid breaking existing clients.
3. Version strategy: Confirm whether the Android client has released a version containing this fix; if so, guide users to update.

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to open any issue in the Android client (even those linked to a Projects board) and have the page load normally, without errors caused by GraphQL schema changes.

Please let me know if you need additional logs, reproduction steps, or screenshots.
