That platform that had the huge security flaw when it was installed in the Starbucks app last year?

Oh okay then....

Sorry about the screenshot, fixed.

No, that's not a flaw with crashlytics, it's a flaw with the Starbucks app.

Starbucks chose to log that data in a plain text format. That doesn't have anything to do with Crashlytics other than the fact that that happened to be the logging platform Starbucks used.

Small thing: when in landscape mode, I can't pull down far enough for the refresh to kick in. The little circle appears, but by the time my thumb is at the bottom of my screen, it's not enough. Portrait mode (and just hitting the refresh button) works fine, though.

Lollipop 5.1 running on a Nexus 4.

You can adjust the pull to refresh distance (percent of screen) in the settings. I had to do the same thing for my tablet. 25% works pretty well.

The new version is very pretty and I like it, but it's completely destroyed my battery life compared to the old one. Awful is using more than twice as much battery as the screen currently, which seems abnormal. I'm on KitKat 4.4.4 on a Nexus 5.

I was really curious, mainly because I'm looking at adding Crashlytics to a project of mine and people will balk at the READ_PHONE_STATE permission. Anyway I found the source of the READ_PHONE_STATE permission and it's not Crashlytics -- the manifest in Crashlytics' AAR, or any other dependent library for this project, doesn't specify it at all. It's also not the Awful app harvesting your poo poo.

It looks like the build tools is adding it automatically, because of one of the upstream dependencies doesn't specify a targetSdkVersion in its own manifest. I took a look in the manifest merger log file:

code:
android:uses-permission#android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
IMPLIED from AndroidManifest.xml:2:1 reason: pl.polidea.treeview has a targetSdkVersion < 4
It looks like the maintainer hasn't bothered to respond to any issues on that treeview library in a while so they'll probably not fix it. So maybe just tell the manifest merger to nuke it via this line your top level AndroidManifest.xml and it's off to the races.

code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" tools:node="remove" />
Anyway, in the meantime y'alls can rest assured that nobody actually wants your phone number, a library the app is using just hosed up.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#READ_PHONE_STATE

Google posted:

Note: If both your minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values are set to 3 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your targetSdkVersion is 4 or higher.

Sorry if this has been asked because I just skimmed the last 2 pages, are there any plans to change how the post button works? Mainly that it's useful maybe 2% of the time, but takes up a bunch of screen space 100% of the time. Can it go away while scrolling down?

On the other hand the rest of the new design is great, thanks for the awesome work.

The new update is a disaster on my HTC Rezound. It won't let me scroll down my bookmarks. When I click on a subforum, it still thinks I'm on the bookmarks page, so it ends up opening a thread from it.

I can't get rid of the FAB. I tried toggling the setting on and off but it does nothing.

Also, the wording "No FAB in the thread view: Y/N" is really bad and you should probably change it to something easier to parse. Selecting "Yes" to set the state of something to "no I dont't want to see this" is just asking for confusion.

Just to be clear, at least on Lollipop 5.1 on a Nexus 4, you need to actually close the app and reopen it for that option to actually change; simply going into the settings and changing it didn't actually do anything.

Not as far as I know. It's pretty jarring which is among the things why it's disabled by default and hidden in the settings. If I remember it correctly, the popup steals the focus from the app and the app 'forgets' for a moment it's supposed to be in immersion mode. Or something.

I've had that for some time during the beta though after a pull request it seemed to be gone. Try clearing the app data and report back if it comes up again.

The transformation thing is really weird and as far as I can tell, it's the only one that does it. I'll probably just remove zoom out for now.

As for the FAB, it shouldn't need a restart (and doesn't for me) but I added a few lines of code that should make sure it works for everyone that way.

With the categories on, the category images are big and square, they were the normal thin ones like on the web forums in the previous app version. Any way to get the small category images back? I preferred the small ones to the current big versions, you could see more threads at once.

Additional edit: it looks much better in the new 3.2.0.1 version (thanks for the quick fix!), but I still liked the small tags. Any chance that would be an option?

Also if anyone's having trouble, it might be worth uninstalling completely, then reinstalling and setting up your preferences again (and not exporting and importing them either). That way you'll be starting fresh, and you'll get to poke around and see what new options there are

I'm having a few problems with the new version. Sometimes the ap won't respond to swipes unless I refresh the page. Other times, I'll have the ap click through onto a page I previously visited. Example: Let's say I browsed SH/SC, and then went back to the main forum index. If I were to select games (or any other sub forum), the ap instead takes me to the SH/SC thread that would have had the corresponding position of the sub forum I selected. As of right now, the awful ap is barely usable on my phone as of this current version.
