Mobile apps seem to struggle a bit. Eternity didn’t allow me to interact before I logged out and in again and Jerboa doesn’t allow me to log in at all. But that’s to be expected with such a big update!
The latest version of Jerboa should work
I’m using 0.0.52, the latest version on F-Droid, and when logging in it returns “Illegal input”. I’m not entirely sure whether it’s 0.19.0 that is causing it though, since it’s the first time I use Jerboa in a while, but lemm.ee works and they haven’t updated so I directly assumed that it was that (bad science, I know).
You can get the APK of the latest version (0.0.54) directly from the Github release page: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases
Also can use Obtainium to fetch updates directly from the git services of apps.
Ooh, cool! I will check it out.
