I am no longer able to log in or view any content with wefwef. I deleted the app and tried to navigate to the website with my phone.

I am technically able to access the website, but any attempts to login in say “connection error”. Any attempts to view posts say “problem fetching posts”. I have tried multiple instances and none of them work.

Is anyone else having this issue? I am an android user. Thanks.

    I did had that problem in one of my devices (iPad). What I did was:

    1. Delete PWA.
    2. Went into Settings / Safari / Advanced / Website data and deleted all data related to wefwef.app
    3. Installed PWA again

    This happened to my when updating into 0.15.1. But on iPhone it worked without any issues.

    Edit: This won’t help you since you’re an Android user, but I thought it might help someone with iOS. In your case, I would delete all browser data, just to be sure.

      Actually the fix seems to be the same for Android. I first simply deleted the PWA and tried reinstalling, but that didn’t work. I then went into my browsers settings (in thie case Brave), found the site data for wefwef and deleted it like you said. Then I was able to reinstall just fine!

      I don’t understand exactly what happened in the first place to create this error though.

        Glad it solved it for you. In fact in iOS, even though PWAs have their own container, they still use the browser behind, so I will assume some data stays in the browser itself.

        For the reason why this happened, I don’t know the reason (maybe the dev knows), but I think it might be that the data that we’ve deleted works as some kind of cache…
