Hello, @benwehrman!
I just found this post and by reading [Problem #2] it seems you are using the unofficial Stacker News client for Android that I developed. For now, it's just an alternative client I've been working on my spare time but development has slowed down recently. I'll keep fixing bugs and adding features but I do not recommend it for new users unless you are ok dealing with bugs (and reporting them too if you have the time! That would be much appreciated :).

Okay, then! Now you are officially part of the alpha team, @benwehrman!
I created a new issue about this problem. Do you have an account on Github? Can you provide more details (like android version, device, etc) there, please?
reply
not on github, is that a requirement?
android is galaxy s10e

Just if you want to create issues.
I'm implementing a workaround to allow people with devices on Android 12+ to login by pasting the magic link and clicking a button. It's not ideal but it should work for now.
I'm also working on a much better way of signing in by reading a qrcode but it's going to take awhile to implement.

Awesome, LMK when the magic link field is ready to roll. Excited to be a test dummy!

Just published it on Google Play. It's still being processed and should be available in a couple hours.
I also publish the APKs on GitHub. You can install it a package manager for Android like AppManager or equivalent

I just edited the app's page on Google Play to add unofficial to the title to avoid confusion. I should have done it sooner.
The change is still being processed by Google. It might available in a couple hours.
