SUMMARY Following the update to version 1.24 (from F-Droid), the desktop app will no longer sync messages. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Update to version 1.24 when prompted by F-Droid app 2. Bring up the KDE connect SMS window, notice the spinner. 3. Confirm by unlocking the phone that we do have a connection to the desktop computer 3. Wait for messages to show-up nothing happens. 4. Press "Refresh" and wait for another hour or two. OBSERVED RESULT No SMS are ever displayed in the desktop appplication. EXPECTED RESULT KDE connect should have displayed the SMS conversations listing. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 37; KDE Plasma Version: None running, XFCE 4.16 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: Qt 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Galaxy XCover Pro 6; Android 13 Kernel 5,4,147. Notifications about new SMS messages still appear on the desktop plus sending files works so the connection is definitely active. More to the point, it worked with the previous version of the Android app. Apart from the usual problems (phone becoming unavailable for absolutely no reason and having to reach for it and unlock) the combo worked. The desktop app would take between three to ten seconds to re-sync once the phone was back in the network but that was it.
This is presumably due to the change from if/else to switch here, which forgot breaks between the cases: https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-android/-/commit/038f6e8598441103f0bf3c95b55a759d56534df8#3f11df9dbfb12205751132bb9f36348782af1924 It is fixed here: https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-android/-/merge_requests/337/diffs Which is part of the 1.24.1 release from this weekend. I've asked for that to be pushed to F-Droid.
Version 1.24.1 is available on the F-Droid store
... and fix confirmed to be working. Thank you very much Simon.
