I downloaded the Stack Exchange app on my secondary phone (Android 6.0) and installed it. I tried to log in with my Google account. However, an error occurred.  I tried the next day on my main phone (Android 5.1) and got the exact same error.  Here is a screenshot:    The version is the latest that is on the Play Store (latest update: 30 June 2017).  I think that the error happens because the app's code is no longer compatible with Google's recent Play Services update.  I sent an e-mail to the Stack Exchange developers about this (androidapp@stackexchange.com), however I did not get any response. So I thought that I would get a faster response here.  Can anyone help me?

This Community Wiki question is designed to be the "canonical question" for questions asking how to upgrade one's device to a new Android version.   I want to get a newer version of the OS for my Android device. How can I do that?  See also:

I opened the Android app and was met by the "Loading stack exchange sites" splash screen. The spinner froze, then a black screen appeared, then the entire app froze. I tried a few more times and was met with the same results.  The full site also works fine on my phone, so it appears to just be the app.   On the iPhone app, I keep getting a "Request timed out. Tap to retry." message when loading the question body. The title gets loaded, as is the HNQ list and my own notifications, but no posts. The mobile site is working.    Requests to the API never load:

After one of the latest updates (not sure if it was the last one or a previous one) of the Google Play app, I am having an error trying to update a large app (42MB). It says:     Error Downloading . There is insufficient space on the device.   My device is a Samsung P1000 running Froyo. It's rooted, but the error was there before rooting it.  A quick Google search showed several Samsung users having the same problem (the app in question that was giving me the headache is Smurf's village). Some said that removing the updates to the Android Market (Google Play) app would fix it, but to me it was of no avail.  I also tried the procedure in  to no avail.  Now I am stuck with a prehistoric version of the Market (that works on small apps) and still cannot update Smurf's Village or install big apps. How can I fix this?  EDIT: device has over 2GB of internal SD storage, 27GB of external SD card, so space is not an issue.

I have Ubuntu computers and an Android phone, and it's always perplexed me why the default update manager on Ubuntu and Google Play on the phone don't update existing versions of applications by calculating the difference between them and the new versions. I'm sure this is the case with other operating systems as well (which is why this question isn't in Ask Ubuntu or Android enthusiasts)  Consider, for example, the latest update (a minor release) of  (as of April 18,2012). The "What's new" section says it includes a critical bug fix. It's safe to assume a lot of code wasn't modified, and yet, when you update the app, it downloads over 6 MB, as if it's a fresh install.   Why can't the update servers calculate the difference (a la git) with installed versions and send only the difference? Can it really be that hard to do that with all versions? Wouldn't the saved bandwidth be a major motivation?  Edit 6 Dec 2016: Google just announced that they are going to use file-by-file patching for Android APK updates -

we have been using the Find Nearby Accounts app from appexchange for a while now. The app uses the Google Maps API vs 2 which is now deprecated and hence has rendered the app ineffective. I have tried migrating the Google maps API version for the app from v2 to v3 by generating a v3 API key. The URL for my salesforce instance was included in the creation of the Client ID under API Access. After all these steps, I still get the error "Problem with Address. I know the address is right.   Has anyone been able to get this working? Thanks.

In the  of the Android app, it says Android 4.1 or higher is required. However, the  argues that 1.6 is the required Android version. Why do these two pages argue with each other, and which one is lying?  Screen shot:

Spent a half hour on this. Android 5.1.1 latest version SE app (Play Store won't let me update so latest).   Tried to upload photo into an answer. "Something went wrong".  Did tricks to reduce photo size to 275k -- same.    45k rep on the stack.  Here is the photo..... oh wait.  How do I solve?

Recently I bought a Spice MI 280 with Android 2.3.4, I downloaded apps from the Android Market like App2sd, Task killer, Soundhound etc.  A few days ago Android Market was upgraded to Google Play and when I try to open it it shows a no connection: retry error...although I can browse the net through Opera and uc browser without any difficulty.  When I open YouTube through Opera it shows the main page of the site, but then when I try to play a video it shows cannot play the video.  I have tried adjusting the current date, clearing data and caches etc. I've tried a factory data reset but its asking please input phone password. Any suggestions?

I have found myself in an uncomfortable situation after clicking the Hot Network Question widget.   I click the widget, it opens Stack Exchange app and doesn't refresh. That causes me seeing the question I haven been reading a while ago. Fact is that I haven't killed the app since using it last time.   Is there any known workaround to prevent this bug occurring every time I want to read a question opened from a widget? Killing the app/deleting data every time is not a convenient option.   It happens on all Android devices, so device specs aren't relevant, I guess.   Edit: it isn't reproducible 100% of the time. Sometimes it works.

I recently posted a new question on Android Enthusiasts using the official StackExchange app for Android. Right after posting the question, the app said that my question is not available.     The question is not available, it may have been deleted.   Deleted? Already?...  Then I navigated to my user name to see my recent activity. There it was! I could see the question I just posted. But if I tapped on the link to try to open it, the app kept complaining about my question not being available.     The question is not available, it may have been deleted.   But 7 minutes after posting the question, I could see my question. Here are some screenshots that showcase this issue.      This is not the first time this happens. This appears to be more or less normal behavior of the app. I don't use the StackExchange app very often to post questions. But I had exactly the same message come up when I posted a question a few months ago (and some app version numbers earlier).  This is not a major issue, but you should try to address this nevertheless. It's a small bug, but addressing it might imply much bigger changes... which might explain why it's still present... I don't really know, I'm guessing. I just thought I would let you know about it, in case you are not aware of it.  For the record, the phone is Galaxy S4 Plus (GT-I9506) running Android 4.4.2. Version number of the app is 1.0.50.

Whenever I try to update an app, I get the error in the question title. I am also unable to view my installed apps. I've already tried wiping the store's data and cache, and removing and readding my account. Nothing helps.   I'm using a Droid Turbo running 4.4.4. Anyone know what the problem is?

I need to run Google Plus, and Google Plus needs the Google Play service.  Every time I install google play service from the Google Play store it fails to install with this error:     Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID   What could be the issue? How can I fix this?  UPDATE: I know almost nothing about android, so I dont know what ROM is, or such thing, I get my phone from local production and I guess, yes, it uses custom system, so I just know that I'm using Android Version 4.0.4. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using the official Stack Exchange mobile app for iOS or Android, and  My app crashed! It doesn't look good on my new smartphone. It won't run after I updated my device. I noticed another bug. I have an idea for a new feature which is currently not in the app.  How do I report bugs with or request features for the iOS and Android apps? Also:  I've used the built-in functionality of the app to report a bug or submit a feature request. Did I do the right thing? The app prompted me to post on Meta after an error occurred. Should I post about it here? I'm wondering why the latest version is from 2017. I've heard rumors that the apps are no longer supported; is that true? I can't find the app on my device's app store anymore! Where did it go?     We get a lot of bug reports from users about the mobile apps, which are unsupported, and at the moment, there is no centralized Q&amp;A pair for those to be closed as duplicates of (the relevant answers are spread across multiple unrelated questions). This question is an FAQ proposal, to serve as a directly-related duplicate target for those questions.

A little ago, I found  in the review queue. The asker is reporting a bug he found in the android SE app.  The suggested edit proposed to add a second tag to the question to indicate that the bug seem to be present on the IOS app too. I approved the edit and added that info to the question.  Soon after, an user on the Tavern chat room made me notice that this way the staff can't actually mark the bug as fixed until both app are fixed. I am left now wondering... what is the preferred way to handle this situation? Have two copy of the question, each one referencing to one app?   I am especially interested in any info that can provide indication about the staff preferences, ie - finding the posting pattern that is simpler for them to manage.
