Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1727

Which version of floccus are you using?

v5.2.7

How many bookmarks do you have, roughly?

20

Are you using other means to sync bookmarks in parallel to floccus?

No

Sync method

Git

Which browser are you using? In case you are using the phone App, specify the Android or iOS version and device please.

Android, Pixel 6a, GrapheneOS (exploit protection stuff turned off tho)

Which version of Nextcloud Bookmarks are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Which version of Nextcloud? (if relevant)

No response

What kind of WebDAV server are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Describe the Bug

After completely uninstalling and reinstalled floccus, and setting it up with the same exact configuration as I use on firefox (which has no issues) the app fails to sync.

The app will during this kinda become "unresponsive" or "lock up" it'll either be super slow and janky feeling, or just not let me do anything at all (like access settings to download logs)

When it doesn't completely lock up, downloading logs does work, but the files are empty too, which kinda leads me to believe this is like some loop in the background that just causes everything to break. (i have tried downloading redacted and non-redacted logs)

kinda rough example of what i'll look like

Expected Behavior

The app should not become unresponsive, and it should successfully sync my bookmarks.

To Reproduce

  • Setup git over https sync in android app
  • Try to sync (or have autosync happen)
  • Doesn't work, app becomes slow or unresponsive too.

Debug log provided

  • I have provided a debug log file

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way it is expected that you donate to the project when opening a ticket,
if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Hello @ModcoLocko
This is a known issue. Sadly, git sync on android is broken at the moment. See https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1608
