When I freshly installed 4.3.1, I was unable to sign in with an error that my password is incorrect, but the same password works on 4.3.0.

Hi @betsythefc sorry for the trouble...hmm that's a nasty bug indeed. When I go on the F-Droid store I don't even see 4.3.1 as a download option (maybe a caching issue for me?). There have been a barrage of releases though over the past week, and I actually just released 4.3.4 to F-Droid last night. Before diving deep into this, we should probably check if the problem still exists in 4.3.4. I don't know when it will be available through the F-Droid store though...

In the meantime, if you'd like to try 4.3.4 right away, you could download the apk directly from this link. Looks like you'll need an Azure account to download it though...I'm not sure how to share APK files easily. I used to use this site Blackhole.run but looks like that is not working for me anymore :(

https://dev.azure.com/podverse/_apis/resources/Containers/14520192/app_build?itemPath=app_build%2Fpodverse-fdroid.signed.release.apk

I hope 4.3.4 fixes the issue but if it doesn't please let me know and we'll look into it more.

@betsythefc update, it appears our QA release for Podverse somehow got released as version 4.3.1 😫

Podverse for F-Droid will be completely broken for all users until a correct prod version of Podverse is deployed

[betsythefc]

I don't have an azure account, so I'll wait for F-Droid to pick up 4.3.4 and hopefully it's the production version. Once I've gotten it, I'll let you know if it's fixed. Thanks for following up!

@betsythefc this should now be fixed in 4.3.5 available now on the F-Droid store. Please lmk if you run into any issues with it. Thanks!

[betsythefc]

That fixed it, thank you!
