Me too.

I will post in this thread a new compiled apk just for testing purposes and to check if the issue is resolved in the new versions.

Same issue here on a oneplus 3 running oxygenOS 9.0.3 (android 9), when updating 0.4.4 to 0.6.2b via f-droid. I get a fun crash screen with an upturned bug image. Had to un-install, then re-install 0.4.4.

Tried installing the 0.6.1 apk from github and it just tells me "App not installed".

Great launcher, i'm still using 0.4.4 after many years with Nova. Would be happy to help test once the apk is available here.

Same here on fairphone, google-less android 7.2.1: Immediate crash afzer update via f-droid.
I uninstalled zim 0.4. then installed zim 0.6. Got nothing in the list of backups. Had to reconfigure everything from scratch. But now zim is working fine. The new version fixed some bugs. Thank you for maintaining this nice piece of software!

[kalaleq]

Aha! Thanks KaiMartin for the hint. It must be something left over by 0.4.4 causing the crash after upgrade. I tried the same as you: uninstall, then re-install 0.6.2b from f-droid. Now it works. I'll have to rebuild but worth it for the upgrade!

I have read that downgrading of non-debuggable packages is disabled.
( Here - https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/921dd75 )
Uninstall is required and that will delete all the data files (settings) and cache files.

Currently the highest version (0.6.2b) is release package and downgrade (to 0.4.4) is NOT possible. Would you like to release a debuggable package with higher version (like 0.6.3)?
This way we can install the latest version - debuggable package. Then we can downgrade to version 0.4.4.
This way we can preserve all data files and settings!

Thanks.
