Issues with the Nextcloud SSO and Android 11?

[RAYs3T]

Could it be that the nextcloud SSO is somehow not working on android 11?

I did dig around a little bit and found out that indeed the nextcloud-android-sso is returning an error for AccountImporter.pickNewAccount(this)

com.nextcloud.android.sso.exceptions.NextcloudFilesAppNotInstalledException

I have the official live build of nextcloud client installed, running on a Pixel 4 XL with latest Android 11.

• Already checked permissions and battery optimizations.
• Build and signed this app myself to rule out any strange android restrictions that might have applied to unsigned apps. -> No change.

What android are you testing on?
If someone could reproduce this I would raise an issue over at https://github.com/nextcloud/Android-SingleSignOn

Hi @RAYs3T
Please try to compare the behavior with the deck application, or the note application .. If they work correctly, it is probably a problem with this application, and if they also fail, it will be a problem of Android-SingleSignOn, or maybe Nextcloud-Android..

Thanks.. 😉

[matiasdelellis]

Hi @RAYs3T
See nextcloud/Android-SingleSignOn#277

[RAYs3T]

OK this sounds like our problem. Will confirm it tomorrow with a fresh build!

[RAYs3T]

Hmm interesting, this still does not work (tried with current master)

[matiasdelellis]

Hi @RAYs3T
Please test this apk.

[matiasdelellis]

I’ve just upgrade my Android to LineageOS 18 (Android 11).
The "official" initial release couldn’t install, so I tested your two links here above.
Both apks from your Nextcloud links install, but only the first (app-fdroid-release.apk) can connect (works great).
The second link (quicknotes-fdroid-release.apk) says that Nextcloud files isn’t installed, although latest version 3.14.0 is installed. See screenshot :

Hi @Thovi98 @RAYs3T
I don't have any Android 11 device and I need your help.. 😞

I need to try 3 releases.
The code we have in master with this APK, and please confirm me if it works or not here.. 😄

And on the other hand, a new version of the SSO library. First with sdk 29 and then with 30, and please confirm if work the APK in the respective PR

• Use singlesignon query-snapshot #9
• Query 30 #10

EDIT: Update link.

[RAYs3T]

@matiasdelellis I'll test these today. You Nextcloud link includes an empty file and I don't have write permissions to it (can only download it)

[matiasdelellis]

Thanks @RAYs3T ... Fix that..
Dropit causes some problems. 🙈 😅

[RAYs3T]

I've testet both APKs from the PRs one of them (20201119124830 - quicknotes-query-master-release.apk) works! - WIll now test the master branc

[RAYs3T]

@matiasdelellis Master works as well with a fresh build! Awesome!
All tested on a Pixel 4 XL with Android 11 Sec. level October

[Thovi98]

After same tests, I come to same conclusion ! So I don’t think it’s necessary to confirm in the respective PR 😄

[matiasdelellis]

Hi,
Can you both confirm that master works without these changes???

There was no change in master since you said it didn't work here.
#4 (comment)

😕 🤔

[RAYs3T]

I'll delete all userdata and cache and test it again. Maybe something is persistent over installs which affects this.

[RAYs3T]

It works on master now... @Thovi98 and if you use the current master it works for you as well?

So somehow installing the app from the PR once influenced this result? I still think the changes from the PR are required @matiasdelellis, but i can't explaint why this works still after deleting cache, storage and uninstalling...
Unfortunately I'm unable to reset my phone (this is my daily driver) in order to test if this would reoccur and have no other Android 11 Phone on hand to test with...

[Thovi98]

I’ve just tried again with this https://delellis.com.ar/s/ei58ALDyrGHgDeY (is it the right to test ?) and worked perfectly !
I don’t know what was current master referenced in #4 (comment) so I can’t tell if this one works for me.

Hey! Is it possible to get the last working APK? Thank you 😃

Please, I use a lot this app on NextCloud as it's being my replacement for Google keep, can I get the last APK with SSO fixed? Want to actively contribute to the project 😊

[hardwareadictos]

Hey! Just found a working app, watching this closely to help 😊

[Joshndroid]

Can I snag an apk to test (the last link above is expired Nov 2020)? I also have an android 11 device.

[Joshndroid]

Pulled from the git and quickly made own app.. errors out "cant determine server side quick notes app." Sigh.

[Thovi98]

Hey @Joshndroid !
I have uploaded the apk for you : https://nextcloud.next.nohost.me/s/SC45P2Bjc2YF66k
It will expire in 5 days.

Hope it will let you use the amazing QuickNotes app on your Android 🎉
Let me know.

Hey mate. Thanks for the upload I appreciate it. I am on Android 11 on oxygen OS. I installed the app fine, went through picking server then clicked allow button on the pop up. I can see the blank initial home page. So, so far so good. Thanks again

Edit - initial note creation is working from app and can see it sync'd in the online quicknotes in nextcloud on Firefox

To whomever it may interest, I found a version of a working Quick Notes Android Client fork here (Release Oct 2023):
https://github.com/Adikso/nextcloud-quicknotes-android
However I have not tested it yet completely. Just doing basics like installation, login, view my QuickNotes, saving a new works good for me.
