Awesome thanks!

What version of Voyager? You can check in Settings -> About

And please do feature detection

I’m not sure how you’d do that with safe area insets. You could check for zero but some modern devices megitimately have zero safe area insets. Capacitor itself has to check Blink version for the SystemBars plugin.

But the app works fine with a “too old” webview. Why warn about it?

If you go into dark mode the status bar will be white with white text, because safe area doesn’t work properly.

You dont need the Android System Webview in particular. Android supports alt webviews. The important part is to make sure its based on Blink 140 or newer (haven’t tested other engines).

Gotta keep your webview up to date! There’s alternatives as described in the comments but yeah, having a version of Chromium older than a year old is pretty dangerous/insecure.

I think most ‘normal’ android users never really think about it because Google keeps their webview up to date automatically, but if you dont use Play Store this can be easily overlooked. Really important for device security though.

Edit: As for why Voyager requires System WebView >= 140… Android recently overhauled safe area insets and their rollout was kinda botched with poor backward compatibility. This is a side affect unfortunately.

Why aren’t people moving away from Github?

I write open source software because it’s fun, and I publish on Github because it gives me a stronger professional profile.

So yeah for me it’s the potential difference between putting food on the table or not. Github stars suck for many reasons but they do help you stand out.

I think that’s a bug with the piefed API. There is a bug on Github, just have to make the Piefed devs aware.

Great thanks

Thanks!

What version of android are you on?

What version on android are you running?

The new version of Capacitor has a totally new way of handling safe area and insets so I’m hoping this is resolved with that work!

I think that should be supported via the API in Lemmy v1

Why not route traffic through the VPN via your router? Should be pretty easy with Mikrotik

I have a new beta out that should fix this! Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for checking! It makes sense what piefed is doing now and I have a new beta release that should fix this.

Thanks, this helps a lot! I’ll switch Voyager to use upvotes - downvotes

I just checked, and the post score is 30, but the upvotes is 12 and downvotes is 0 from the api 🤔

@wjs018@piefed.social any ideas why this would be happening?

That definitely is not expected, but I also haven’t seen that 😫 It does sound like possibly a Graphene bug…
