Describe the Bug

Im trying to use Floccus to sync my Bookmarks via GIT. This works well on Desktop Chrome and Firefox.
I downloaded the Android App as well and put in the same configuration for git synchronization. But the App just keeps Syncing, not showing any Error, just does not show the bookmarks, ever.
When trying to download the log protocol, the log always has 0 bytes.

On another Note - I also wanted to install the extension for Microsoft Edge - but it seems its not available anymore? Im surprised no one noticed this yet?The link on Floccus Website goes to: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/gjkddcofhiifldbllobcamllmanombji which is not available.

I really love the extension, so hopefully the issues can be resolved!

Expected Behavior

After correct configuration and syncing, my bookmarks should show up in the app.

To Reproduce

Android Bug:
1 Download the Android App,
2 set it up to sync with a bookmarks .xbel file on GitLab
3 Hit the Sync button

Missing Edge Extension:
Go to: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/gjkddcofhiifldbllobcamllmanombji

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 I ask that you donate to the project when opening an issue
(or at least once your issue is solved), 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 💙

Hi @righteon
These are both known issues. See #1850 which I hope to resolve on the weekend, and #1608 which will sadly still take a while to resolve :/ I have been meaning to deactivate the git option in the native app to avoid confusion.
