What are you even installing?
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2024-11-13 21:52:46 UTC 
i.e. from where are you installing Okular Android?
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2024-11-13 22:04:37 UTC 
actually the nightly fdroid version should work i thought it's old but it is not.

You'll have to debug this youself, this is why it's nightly :D

run adb shell into your phone and then logcat and then start the app, should ideally give some error.

It's the same on the release version. I only tried the nightly in case the error had already been fixed.

Can reproduce on Okular 1.3.0 installed from KDE's f-droid release repo running Android 15.
