[Bug] AirMessage Beta doesn't work on OneUI 3 about airmessage-android

[tagavari]

I was actually able to recreate this bug once on my device (Pixel 5) out of the blue, and it turns out that it was an issue with the app being unable to modify its encrypted shared preferences to write the new server values.

AirMessage uses Android Jetpack's Security library for encrypted storage. The current beta versions uses a release candidate, but it looks like a stable version is finally available. I'll include this dependency update in the next beta version.

FWIW airmessage cloud works fine on OneUi 3, haven't had any issues on my S10+.

Just tested via manual config and it is working flawlessly using the latest server and client betas.

I found out that the Security library creates a shared preferences file that must be in sync with the device's local keychain, and will error out if there's a mismatch. This file not marked as excluded from Android's Auto Backup, so if you installed the app on a second device or uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the same device, you would end up with an invalid shared preferences file.

I've updated the backup rules with commit fef35bf, and it's included in release 3.1.6 which is out today. If you're still running into this issue, could you let me know if this update fixes it for you?

I have since downgraded to OneUI 2.5, so I won't be able to test it unless I upgrade. I'll make a comment on u/Ok_Necessary_1306's post to see if they can test it

Thank you for confirming that it is fixed!

I wouldn't close this as I use airmessage cloud rather than the manual IP method. Just wanted to point out that the cloud version is working fine. Haven't had any issues with it since it launched.

Oh shoot okay. If you could test the manual configuration (like, no port forwarding just with your Mac's internal IP), let me know, but it's okay if you can't. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes later today I'll try it out and report back :)
