0.0.17-RC-1 auto-generated proof doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ about proofmode-android

(and an improved built in camera)

Just installed 0.0.18-ALPHA-1 and used built-in camera. No proof generated. Not sure what's up.

Thanks for testing. I agree it is likely something due to path of photo storage. Strange that the built-in camera wouldn't work in that case, but definitely a good clue for debugging. We have some stock Galaxy devices around, but no Notes. Will try to reproduce,

Yeah, I thought for sure the built-in would at least work, but nope. Happy to test where I can!

Ordered two Samsung devices (A12 and S10+) that we can hopefully reproduce this on. I know we have already been testing on A21 and found some issues there.

New alpha 2 is up: https://github.com/guardianproject/proofmode-android/releases/tag/0.0.18-ALPHA-2

that has been tested on a Samsung A12, though not using external SD storage. Will work that into the next round.

Ok, so on my Stock, unrooted, Galaxy Note 10+ with Android 12, the built-in camera had a robust proof ready! I also tested the stock samsung camera, and the default save is the external sd, and it was able to find a proof! Now, saving the robust proof timesout and then FC's the app, but sharing a robust proof works right away without issue.

EDIT: Also can confirm that the robust proof is accurate and matches the timestamp of the image both using built-in cam and the stock samsung cam. SO EXCITED!

Ok, video using both the built-in camera and stock samsung camera does not generate a proof :/ Only manually generate. Making progress tho!!!

[n8fr8]

One issue could be that videos are much bigger and take longer to process (generating hashes, etc). Perhaps wait a little longer to try and share proof before you check? This may ultimately be a user experience issue, that we should show if proof is in process of being generated already or not.

Otherwise, we'll do more testing with video AND external storage.

So, I have a 2 second video I took using the built-in camera. It's been at least 15 minutes, and there's no proof yet. The mp4 file is 3.69mb, which is smaller than some of the photos I've taken. I don't think it's working for videos.

0.0.18 RC 1 is coming with a fix
