GitHub Android App (com.github.android)- Platform: Android- Screenshot time: 2026-08-08 08:47 (UTC+8)- Repro: 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:> No such type ProjectNextItem, so it can't be a fragment condition, and it fails to load properly.
Root Cause Analysis
The client is still using the deprecated GraphQL type ProjectNextItem (old Projects beta). GitHub migrated to Projects (new), where the type is ProjectV2Item (via ProjectV2/ProjectV2Item connection). ProjectNextItem was removed from the schema, so the client can't resolve the fragment at runtime and the whole issue page fails to load.
Suggested Fixes

1. Client: update the ProjectNextItem fragment to ProjectV2Item to match the current schema.
2. Server compatibility: keep a deprecated alias for ProjectNextItem so existing clients don't crash before they update.
3. Version strategy: confirm whether a fixed Android release exists and guide users to update.

Expected Behavior
Any issue (even Projects-linked) should load normally in the Android client without GraphQL schema errors.Screenshot:
