If you're logged in on the browser then the app doesn't require you to log in; it simply authenticates you via the browser.So... Log in in browser, authenticate in app, log out from browser? That's a crazy way to log in

No log out out browser, select login on app, log in on browser when prompted.So... Log in in browser, authenticate in app, log out from browser? That's a crazy way to log in
Edit: nevermind, I managed to log in anyway.
This text issue is probably related to the font you use on your device. Try default font and maybe text will be fine.
Even though I logged in to the app I had to log in again to reply to this thread so that was fun. On my phone I kept getting logged out but that seems to have cleared up. I'm hoping a tab for "News" is added in the near future but otherwise it seems to be a decent experience so far.

Thanks for finally releasing the app. I was eagerly waiting the whole day
Unfortunately, I have problems logging in. After trying some things I got bored and scanned the new app with ClassyShark3xodus and was presented with a whopping 9 trackers
With this collection of jank no wonder this app reaches ~100MB (installed size)
Instead, you could have provided a Progressive Web App, saving you time and dependence on Play Store, App Store and Expo.io. According to the XenForo forum setting it up is as easy as following three steps: Upload two sizes of your logo and set an app name -> Profit
No hassle, just a function of XenForo.
I won't use the new app, at least on my tablet. I have only free (as in freedom) apps on my tablet, with up to now the prominent exception being XDA Labs. But this app bears too much for my taste.
I would rather prefer the PWA, as then this stuff would run inside of the browser sandbox, preventing access to hardware identifiers and certainly would not contain third-party libraries for "analytics" and similar stuff.
Again, your website contains resources from your domains, fonts and JS libraries from commonly used CDNs and some resources form Cloudflare and Google. I am fine with that and understand the inclusion of this stuff. Compare this to your shiny new app and realize that you spy far more on your app users than with your website.
Don't get me wrong, I like this place and people here and I understand you bundle some of that stuff for ad revenue. But Amplitude and Segment seem to be here for analytics purposes only, and only Facebook Ads is needed. Why do you bundle Facebook Login if you don't use it?

App can't be used (at least) in Ukrаinе due Cloudflare protection.
Preamble: opening XDA in browser constantly shows that "Checking your browser before accessing..." page by CloudFlare: my country in some blacklist. Same on three different ISP, mobile and wired.
After splash new app shows just blank white screen. But once I enable VPN (Germany for example) it shows on-boarding and I can log-in.
After disabling VPN app shows same CF page, two popup errors and then it can't load any content, "Watched" empty and so on. Check attached screenshots.
So problem definitively caused by CloudFlare protection "redirect", app just can't handle that.
This issue was present in old app, I reported it here and XDA administrator successfully fixed it.
It's not just me: previously user @Muxeu from Ukraine confirmed old bug, now he says, that facing blank white screen too. Also there are two other Ukrainians that "liked" this post.
Debug info (useless in this case): latest XDA 2.15.11, Android 9

I have default font on my OP7. Please test this app with every font size and display size setting in stock roms.
I've just installed the Android XDA App yesterday. Saw message about old login credentials not migrated. Now logged in via Samsung Internet browser. I've selected Reset Password via email, and changed password. I've also logged in via browser, and changed password. Neither have allowed me to login using Android XDA App.
Also, using My Device in Android XDA App it identifies my phone as AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and my phone is actually Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (AT&T).
Thank you.

Hi,
I'm so glad that the app has been released, I really missed having it. We just need to be patient until all of the bugs get worked out.

Nope, didnt work.
Logged out of the website in the browser, opened the app on my phone, but after 2 minutes of trying to log in I still get "Wrong Username/Password"
EDIT:
Wait, I think I know the problem. Seems like the app hasnt been updated in my country?
If I open the playstore in my browser, it says that the XDA app has been updated today. If I open it on my phone, it says last updated in 2018. (And yes, it definitely is the same app).
The newest version I can install is 1.1.6b-play.

Obviously I don't speak in any official capacity here but I wouldn't have thought it was likely to have the request approved.Publish to GPlay store ? No we didn't talk with any mod about publishing this to Google play store.
Well, TBH I know a LOT about reverse Engineering
and @waterpolo can even prove that !
Hope he approves our request.
There was already a lot of public conversation (and most likely even more in private and behind the scenes) to even get to the stage where this app was allowed to be modified in the first place and be given the permission and needed access.
There's already 3 options available to use. The 2 in this thread and then ReLabs. That's more than was available pre-Zenforo switch over. Plus even just using the website from mobile is more than good enough.
Best option is to either use one of the available options or, do as you started, carry on with making your own version11
Because I remembered you said something about publishing in Play Store.
What exactly you wanna to do? Take the "ownership" of the modded app from dr.?
Yeah yeah ok..Well, TBH I know a LOT about reverse Engineering and @waterpolo can even prove that !
Hope not. I prefer real developers handle that app and do not create 10000 xda modded apps.
Hope he approves our request.
You should stick to improve your applix, I thought you didn't liked the official xda app at all and that was the reason you made your applix app as you write in your intro.9I'm not entitled to give any permission. My changes was granted with specific note as : @dr.ketan 's minor modifications that only allow the app to communicate with the servers following the domain change. here is the reference
Raise your concern to moderation team and they will contact me if they requires.8
So to understand, you got green light from admins to take the modded app from dr. do some colour changes and publish it to Play Store?
Because we waited for months for admins to even give dr. green light to share the apk here inside the xda and requirement was to not change anything other than fix login and do not share it anywhere else other than inside xda.
Also @ZG089▼ doesn't seem knowledgeable enough to do reverse engineering. He barely do some colours changes in his applix app. Don't take it bad this is the truth
Perhaps @willverduzco can enlighten us. -
120XDA Forum Android Apps
I am presenting here two apps for android for XDA Forums.
1.Original Fixed App
Intro : As you might know, official XDA app is stopped working since migration of the domain. We've long waited to get official app to get fix for same as it was much convenient to many users to get access to XDA forum with an android app instead web.
Discussion was started from page #77 regarding alternate to this app. We have got some reverse engineering and find solution to get app working back with new domain. After silence of couple of month, @Retrial have initiated movement and finally got nod from @willverduzco (Big Thanks to him and whole moderation team) to release special fixed version only to XDA platform and I believe this will help lots of users to get easy access to forum. Here below is link to download fixed app.
Credits : All credit goes to original developer of XDA app & XDA community
2.Unofficial XDA App
This app is seamless web version of XDA forums for conveniently explore forum right from your device.
T & C

- This Project is started for community help and can be close anytime without prior notice.
- App have no any revenue generation from app with ad. Same time it won't stop any ad showing by XDA forum itself. Ad policy will be followed as you exploring it from web.
- App development may affect in future by google, XDA forum or by code sharing policy and we don't give any warranty about continuing of further development. Changing policy in any manner that may affect app development, we may stop development without any prior notice.
- Application is free for XDA users.
Donation
Application if free for XDA users but it cost us, If you want to encourage with little donation, you are welcome. Again We humbly request, donation shouldn't be with expectation of something in return. As we said above, development of app in future may get stopped, There won't be any refund for same.

The new app is just an upgrade to the current XDA app, so you should be able to just go into Play and hit "Update"
The app is rolling out now, and will take hours to get to everyone. For safety, we are doing a staged rollout at first at about 50%.
Update 12/8: App is now at 100% rollout so everyone should get it soon. Thanks for testing and using it!
Update 1/13/21: We are aware that for some, the app isn't working. We plan to release a fix ASAP.
Fun things to try:
- Login explore the app settings and gesture controls (hit the third button on the bottom).
- Read the Tips and Tricks thread100XDA app (Minor modified for Forum domain change fix)
As we know, since changing of forum domain, original XDA app no more working. Here is little modified version of app that differ from original by
- Fix for Domain changes
- Fixed New post tab (not working on original app) (settings - default feed - New Post)
- App version lable edited info about not complete official version to differentiated from official app.
Also here with this, I am agree to remove this app anytime if I have been asked by any mods or any authorized person ask me to do so.
All credit goes to oiginal developer of app who bears ownership/right of app/part of app
Intention of mod version is just a good will as original app doesn't serve any purpose after change in domain for XDA forum, and app just modified to use it's original functionality.
My sincere thanks to all mod team @willverduzco @V0latyle @Clark Joseph Kent @woodman @theimpulson @Oswald Boelcke @the_scotsman @Whiskey103 @Badger50 @mrjuniork and all other mods I may have forgot to mention and everyone who made efforts to make this happen, specially @Retrial

25I am taking this opportunity to write few words about XDA app.
As I have stated, Current fixed app is just nothing but simply re-engineered app without source to get fix for new domain as well one small bug fix, As we don't have source code and chances of getting further development of this app without original dev is almost nil. I don't know how long this will going to work.
We should encourage development of similar app with open source. One project (ReLab) already started by @theimpulson and that will be the future if original app not going to develop from source. My sincere request to @theimpulson to keep continue support and further development for his app & we should support him whatever way he may needs as XDA test users.
This is need of hour to keep away developer to move to some social media platform (like TG) to provide better support to end users with amazing moderation support.

Dr.Ketan24Hey guys!
About the xda app, here is what a representative of xda replied to the moderation team internally when we told them we had concerns about the future of the app (among other topics):
"The truth is the app development team was an outside source that we worked with, and they were never able to deliver on a bug-free experience. If we focus on an app in the future, I'd assume that we would come up with a different solution. For now, <... > we are aware of the bugs, but further updates will not be made to the app. Chances are we will have something better in the future."
Then, we told them we'd love to have an in-house development of the app, like it used to be the case with xda labs, they replied this:
"I am 100% on board with this. I think XDA Labs was the best mobile app we ever got and we need to go back to a solution like that. <... > We are working on sorting out so many things behind the scenes, and as soon as we can make the forums a priority again, I will pitch this idea to the new leadership."
The" new leadership" being Valnet Inc.
I am also very disappointed by the xda app, I don't use it except for push notifications.
So I guess we just need to be patient...
