ty for the infos. would be great if you could try again with 0.13.1. If it still not works, please send me me the latest application log with INFO log level. Hopefully it will help to better understand what is going on. Firefox should work. That is what I am using too. My development phone is a Pixel 6a with Android 15. Please also consider joining our Discord server for easier support. ---

Ty for checking. After some testing and feedback I think this might be related to Android’s automatic app suspension. The fix would be to set the app’s background usage to “unrestricted”. More details in the updated [installation guide for Android](https://github.com/ErikKalkoken/evebuddy?tab=readme-ov-file#android) Would be great if you could test this again. And before you do, please also upgrade to 0.14.1. ---

0.14.0 can be installed. Still loads forever when I try to add any Ingame character. Simply doesn’t complete the auth-process. And no, I don’t want to use Discord 🙂 ---

This is not an easy issue to analyze, since I can not reproduce it on my own phone. However, I also now have another user with a similar issue. I opened an issue for it and will further investigate. Can you confirm that you have the same issue or is it something different? If it is different, please feel free to open an issue. > > > When trying to add a new character the process times out in the browser after co…nfirming the scopes for a character. > > The browser shows this error: > > \`\`\` > Your connection was interrupted. > A network change was detected. > ERR\_NETWORK\_CHANGED > \`\`\` > > This happens on some Android phones, but works fine on others.

Regarding the installation issue. Another user had a similar problem and solved it by first uninstalling the app and then installing the new version. Please let me know if that also works for you. ---

Did uninstall, did install the latest version, no change. I also tried another browser (Brave), also doesn’t work. ![Screenshot_20250315_034825_Brave](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/7/6/d76f95eb954e16237bce6a873abde7f0f97d7d4f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20250315_035032_Brave](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/e/9/fe96269ce7f944efe3e0f214dd5fba1bc6a74051.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20250315_035525_Firefox](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/7/f/37f02e6ccb6615b123e96d7219de095d97826b7e.jpeg) Looks to me like the eve auth process needs some data from your app to complete but this data isn’t delivered? Because ‘localhost’ means it’s waiting for my phone actually as far as I know. ---

Thank you for trying it again. It appears that reinstalling solves the invalid package error. I still have no solution for the timeout issue and it indeed looks the same like the one from the other user. Yes, the CCP server is making a request to your phone (and the app is running a web server to receive it). This is a normal part of the OAuth process and works perfectly on other Android phones. Do you maybe have any network security app running (e.g. NetGuard) or any VPN tool? Those might prevent the request to localhost. If you do please turn them off and try again. ---

Hey. A friend who had the same issue on Android just told me that the latest version is now working for him. If you have the chance would appreciate it if you could try it out too.
