4. Nothing happens

Additional information

I have heard from multiple sources that upgrading leads to database destruction because of some bug in a 3rd-party library used by immich, so this is not something I can and want to do.

Hello, please update your server to the latest version

[CommanderRedYT]

@alextran1502 As i previously said, this is not possible as I am not wanting to risk loosing my data because some library has bugs. (As I understood, the library used by postgres and some AI features can create data losses after upgrading)

Why is the login not compatible? I did not see anything in the changelogs mentioning login endpoints.

[alextran1502]

@CommanderRedYT it was an oversight on my end when pushing out an update from 1.98.0 to 1.98.1, there was a PR get merged right before I pushed out the release that cause the incompatibility.

this is not possible as I am not wanting to risk loosing my data because some library has bugs.

If you are unwilling to update the server, you will eventually run into this issue since we will have changes requiring the server and mobile app to be on the same version. We have yet to get a backward compatibility guarantee.

As I understood, the library used by postgres and some AI features can create data losses after upgrading

If you are afraid of running into this issue, you can back up your database first before upgrading. It is also a good practice. However, 1.97 to 1.98 doesn't have any breaking changes from the server

Hm, okay, I will give it a try soon, thanks
