#Catima 2.39.0 is out!

github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

This release targets Android 16 and fixes a crash. Sadly, Google removed support for controlling screen orientation, so this functionality had to be removed.

Catima now also includes ACRA in the FOSS release for crash reporting. If a crash occurs, a dialog will appear to ask you to report the crash. Reports are never sent automatically and you can always review it.

Coming soon to an app store near you.

To explain the crash reporting flow in more detail:

When a crash occurs, a dialog window will show up. This dialog window will ask you if you are willing to report the crash and ask you what you were doing when the crash happened.

On accepting reporting the crash, your mail client will open with the crash information in an attachment (as plain text file), so you can review and cancel the report if you want.

If you never want to be asked, you can disable the reporter in settings.

I understand some users will worry. I always worry about these things too.

Let it be known that I hate nothing more than people collecting information without consent. I have put considerable effort into testing the flow to try to make it as privacy-respecting as possible.

On a related note, did you know that Google Play collects crash reports for all your apps by default? You can disable this by opening Google in devices settings, going to "All Services" and disabling "Usage and diagnostics".

So yeah, not the most exciting release, but bumping the Android target SDK should at least keep us from getting kicked off Google Play for a bit longer again. Let's hope Google doesn't break any functionality next Android release!

If you really care strongly about the rotation functionality and have updated the app missing it, please see downgrade instructions on the FAQ: catima.app/faq.

I try to keep supporting things as long as I can, but sadly, this one is out of my control.
