Just being curious: what happens when a user with a too old (< 9.6.1) version of GPS starts this version of Signal?

thanks so much for this!!! i am really glad to see this move forward. i have documented what i think are the remaining issues blocking signal from being released completely outside the google app store in xmikos/fdroiddata#29 (comment), for those who are interested.

@anarcat What I'd like is:

  1. A small well-written library that we can link into Signal which does crash reporting, checking for updates (and posting notifications for the user), and reporting basic stats.
  2. A simple web-app that looks like the Play Store console, which allows us to publish new APKs, display crash reports, and display basic stats.

Then we could link to the signed APK from our website, get crash reports and stats, and make sure users are keeping up to date.

FYI the server side is here (released/licensed): https://github.com/whispersystems/signal-server

@moxie0 did you see the ACRA library that f-droid mentions in release 0.98? I haven't reviewed it at all, but it could be interesting.

thanks for the response, and really happy to see the server side public now!

PS: people over the fdroid side are wondering where it would be best to discuss this - should there be an issue in the Signal-Android repo? or do we continue in xmikos/fdroiddata#29 (comment)...

@nrizzio thanks. i ended posting a new thread before i saw your edit, sorry about that... but i cross-linked it with the non-GCM thread you linked to and peppered it on other related threads as well.

cheers, and thanks again folks!

No, text messaging works fine. If you want to make calls (audio or video), until WebRTC audio/video calls are turned on by default, whoever you call needs to have the beta video support turned on in their preferences.

I had to update google play services in order to run it. #6371 Doesnt this mean it needs it?
I didnt bother to check the code.

@6w9wy7 you HAVE Gplay services so it uses it. If you don't have it, things still work as there's a fallback, your phone will just suck more battery than a Gplay services version would need...

Has this been released? I have Signal 4.12.3 from https://signal.org/android/apk/ and it still needs Google Play Services to run; when I disable and stop it, Signal complains. Does it continue to work for text messaging?

Is there a way to force Signal to use WebSockets instead of GCM even if the second is available, without changing the code? I see the GCM_DISABLED_PREF in the source, but I am new to Android and not sure how to configure it. Of course, I could change the source and rebuild if there is no other way.

I am using signal without google play and with battery optimization disabled for signal and yet I never get notification for messages or calls. In fact even if signal app is open I don't get notification. I have to keep switching between the chat windows and friends list to make signal retrieve latest messages. I had this issue with one phone before and now same issue with a new phone. (Using lineageos if that helps)
