App crashes Immediately after v8.0.0 update

[KiARC]

It is starting in v9.0.0 :/
Previous versions serialized various classes with ObjectOutputStreams, which made it so that when anything changed in those classes the cache could no longer be read. That's why an effort is being made to implement JSON exports in previous versions.

Going forwards it'll be fairly easy to implement migration strategies just because of how JSON works; if a cache can't be read, just check whether the previous version's code can read it until you find one that works.

Same here. Device is pixel 4a. This is the error log :

Clear app data.

P.S. it's kinda insane that this bug is occurring almost every update.

[IRanOutOfIdeasForMyUsername]

Thanks, that worked, though it's really annoying that I have to re-setup everything.

[KiARC]

I'm so sorry, this has been in my to-do list for a long time I just haven't had the time to work on much recently with some stuff that's been happening, I'm going to fix it as soon as I'm able to

[IRanOutOfIdeasForMyUsername]

Don't beat yourself up too much about it, we all have a certain something in our lives that we put off now and again when life gets busy and hard. It's part of living in an imperfect world. Stuff happens.

[KiARC]

I know I just hate that my mental health is getting in the way of development, I really care about this project and I feel like it doesn't seem that way to anyone else

As hard as this life is, there comes a point when you have to stop caring about what others think. You're an amazing person for having done so much already, and no one has the right to claim anything otherwise.

If you can only do so much, then rest easy knowing that you have in the past, and continue to do all that you can for this project. And despite the flaws, whatever they may be, you've made lives better. Even mine.

Don't let yourself be defined, even in your own head, by the faults, and follys of the world.

You deserve so much more than that, and you're worth infinitetly more still.

[KiARC]

Thank you so much. I really needed that. I'm genuinely so happy that this is sorta taking off but I'd been putting so much into it that I've been burnt out for a while. Hell, I even wrote a paper on the applications of technology in addiction treatment lmao. I'm just glad that I'm able to make a difference, even if I'm slowing down a bit right now.

Just keep doing what you can right now. If that's nothing for a while, then so be it :)

And a paper? That's so cool!

[avaaum]

i opened an issue last release and the dev closed it and said it would be taken care of this release.

i get mental health issues, they are more important than any app. i also understand the frustration of those who have to lose their track record and manually reset everything each release.

keeping track of this stuff (in a private way) is the pull and usefulness of this app.

at the end of the day, we support you and we're grateful for the app, but the fact remains, people will stop using it for their own mental and physical health if this issue persists every update.

it would be a shame to see that happen.

we're rooting for you!

Its actually fixed now, but unfortunately the fix doesn't work with v8.0.0->v9.0.0. going forwards serialization is done with JSON and it will no longer have this bug in future releases

[sadellie]

User data is saved in JSON, right? Will there be a migration strategy in case JSON scheme is changed so no data is lost?
