Can't download external assets on Fire OS 5 #261

Closed reddwarf69 closed 2 years ago

reddwarf69 commented 3 years ago

Using GCompris 0.97, the latest available on F-Droid, trying to download external assets results on "Download error (code: 99): TLS initialization failed".

I see https://www.gcompris.net/downloads-en.html says

WARNING: For Android version 4.4.2, it is recommended to directly download and install manually GCompris version 0.95 from our website, as the version 0.96 from the Play Store will not be able to download external assets with this Android version.

but it seems to be unrelated. The system is using Fire OS 5.6.8.0, which according to https://developer.amazon.com/apps-and-games/fire-tablets is based on Android 5.1 (API level 22).

By the way, is it not possible to publish it in the Amazon App Store?

Hi, thank you for reporting the issue. I've created a new Merge Request to update to the version 1.0 in F-Droid (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/7745) with a more recent version of Qt and openSSL. It may make sense to wait for this integration and test again with the 1.0?

You can also test with https://gcompris.net/download/qt/android/GCompris-Android-release-signed-aligned-armeabi-v7a-dl-1.0.apk but there won't be any notification when we will do updates (so better take it from F-Droid when updated there).

Regarding the Amazon Store, we don't plan to release it there. We consider publishing on the Play store is already covering most Android based devices. And for devices which do not have access to the Play store, users always have the possibility to install our apk directly, or to install it with F-Droid.

Thanks. About the Amazon Store, it's obviously up to you, but a couple of things to keep in mind:

@bdoin may want to update or delete it from the Amazon Store?

petitlapin commented 3 years ago

It was put on the Amazon Store by the previous maintainer, but we don't want to maintain it anymore. We will ask bdoin to remove it from the Store as we won't update it anymore and, as you said, it is misleading to have an old unmaintained version here without telling users there is a more recent available. Also, we will add to the website the link to the apk. It was not visible before as the application was sold on the Play Store. But, as it is now fully free, there is no reason to not give the direct link. Thank you!

The latest version improved the support of older android for downloading assets. I'm closing this bug as it is old and we don't plan to add GCompris in the Amazon store. Feel free to open it again if needed.
