The News app v2.0.3 and v2.0.4 throw the error “Une error est survenue”. V2.0.2 works correct. log_2026_05_31_07_19_09.txt (13,1 KB)

Not certain if this will solve things, but possibly? [image] Various Issues with the Fairphone 5 Issues Good news! Our lead developer has recreated the issue and that allowed him to better identify (and fix) the problems with “Preinstalled Apps”. It had to do…

[image] bege: Une error est survenue” Originally the 7.5 announcement was released for all devices, rather than just for those on the 7.x series. The filter was later correctly applied. I am not sure if this caused the issue or not, but I can’t reproduce the problem you are seeing? If nothing…

[image] rik: you can “clear storage” from AppInfo for it to clean it up and check again. That was the first thing I did. It doesn’t help. Only uninstalling and installing v2.0.2. The update came from the iodé F-Droid repo.

I haven’t heard of others reporting it. I thought your above message meant it was resolved by removal and install (using Preinstalled Apps I had assumed)?

I had iodeOS 6.14 with News 2.0.2 on my device when the update to News 2.0.4 came via F-Droid. After clearing data did not help I uninstalled News and installed 2.0.3 via F-Droid - same issue. Only reverting to 2.0.2 via F-Droid solved the issue. Meanwhile I updated iodeOS to v6.15 (still News v2.0…

Well honestly I am a bit confused. I have F-Droid set to auto-install updates so my v6.x and v7.x devices are all on News app v2.0.5 (released 5 June). So you don’t see that version available? Maybe you are not on our F-Droid but instead upstream? I can NOT uninstall it from F-Droid, for example. Y…

It is simple. I uninstalled the not working News app v2.0.4 via preinstalled apps and then installed v2.0.3 from the iodé F-Droid repo. That didn’t work either. Uninstalled v2.0.3 and installed v2.0.2 which works. Meanwhile I updated to v2.0.5 from F-Droid which doesn’t work either. Uninstalled it …

@rik Do you have any news about this issue?

No sorry, it is not reproducible by the devs, and seems there is some issue obviously with your setup, but to factory reset a device just for the news app seems a bit extreme :slight_smile:

@rik I uninstalled the News app in preinstalled apps, rebooted, updated the system to v6.16 and installed the News app afterwards. Now News v2.0.5 came with the updated system - and still does not work. I did the same with my second Shift6mq device which I use as a spare device when I am traveling…
