How can I buy it if I am from Russia?

    Just updated to Android 15/3.0 and my favourite app has stopped working.

    @Fr4nKB - Wasn’t there something in developer mode that we had to do in the early days of Glyphify? Would that help?

      deLight_ Unfortunately it’s not possible, I’m sorry

      MarkFrancis I’m glad Glyphify is your favorite app, really honored🤩
      Yes, you can go into developer options, activate glyph debug mode and restart the app (force stop). Hopefully Nothing will have this problem fixed by next week…

            Fr4nKB Nothing was able to resolve this issue yesterday. At least my app is working again. And I’ve also tested another app from the Play Store. I assume there was an issue with their firebase integration. Probably some messed up database rules. I’ve additionally messaged them via email which for the future is probably the best way to get a quick response. I just hope that we don’t have to experience something like this ever again. I was forced to code, test, translate and publish a developer message for my app in no time to avoid further 1 star reviews. Still, there were several people complaining about my app not working in the Play Store. At least the issue got resolved in a somewhat resonable amount of time. I’ve screwed up my SHA1 key in the past and had to wait two weeks for a reply.

                JayKay135 That’s great to hear, maybe all that’s needed now is a reboot (with glyph debug mode off, of course) to make Glyphify work again. I would test myself but I haven’t received the update yet.
                @MarkFrancis @Bubi @Hardik can you confirm it’s working for you after reboot with glyph debug mode off?

                What email did you use? GDK support?

                People will always complain no matter what, often enough they don’t even bother to read pop-ups etc…
                And don’t worry, I too screwed up the SHA1 signature in the past😅

                    Fr4nKB Yea I’ve contacted them via the GDK email.

                    Sometimes I don’t understand why I am doing all this. I’m not earning a single cent with my app, but have to spend so much time and energy to keep it running.

                        JayKay135 That’s good to know!

                        That’s the main reason why Glyphify is a paid app. I spend a lot of time every day improving it, and even with the current price, I make maybe half of the minimum salary😅
                        That said, I’m enjoying what I’m doing. Seeing my app evolve and the user base expand is really satisfying.

                            Fr4nKB

                            Seeing the app devolve is usually the main drive that keeps me going. It is by far my most successful app I’ve ever published. I would just appreciate it if the environment for developing with the GDK were better.

                            But I’ve learned my lesson. Future apps from my side (if there will ever be more) using the GDK will most likely have to be paid.

                                MarkFrancis try turning it off and reboot, @JayKay135 said Nothing has fixed the bug

                                JayKay135 yeah GDK is buggy and not well maintained, I’ve asked if they would be interested in collaborating with the community on improving it but I haven’t received a response. I could try the GDK support though…

                                And, yeah go for paid. People will pay if the app is worth it

                                      Fr4nKB I confirm, after turning Off the debugging mode and rebooting the phone, it’s working good again on my Phone (2)! Thanks to @JayKay135 g for pointing it out 🙌🏻

                                        Fr4nKB There are quite a few open issues on GitHub. The community already wants to help to improve the GDK. However, to almost all of them there never was any kind of response from Nothings side. They usually involve the community in many ways which is really nice. Though the development side still lacks this involvement. Let’s hope that they will change this in the future.

                                            JayKay135 those commits are mostly suggestions or bug reports, what I would like is for them to make the APIs open source. You can decompile the .jar so you get access to pretty much all the APIs anyway…

                                            About the community involvement: that’s true, but maybe since they made the community widget with @RapidZapper things are about to change

                                                Fr4nKB You are right. Nevertheless, one of the issues also suggest to open source the sdk.

                                                However, regarding the community widget I don’t think that this is going in to the direction we would want. As far as I know: The idea for the snake game was made by @RajeevJhaj , but the actual implementation was done by the Nothing team. So the collaborational aspect was not ‘coding together’, but rather ‘sharing ideas’ as it has already happened in the past.

                                                    Fr4nKB yes mate now the app is working like a charm, glyphs working, I was quite happy when I say them working yeasterday and was like hash now I’ll see when it’s whatsapp and when its a call.

                                                        JayKay135 I don’t think RapidZapper is part of the team (yet), right? Anyway, let’s hope this changes since I see so many designers but few devs and Nothing seems to be more interested in the former

                                                        Hardik that’s great to hear. Unfortunately there are still people giving me 1-2 star reviews, I wonder if they are actually doing what I tell them to do😅

                                                            Fr4nKB Yep I can confirm, my Glyph debug was off, I eneble the dev mode and turned it on, restarted the device, and now the App is working properly, you can turned the glyph debug off again after the restart (Phone 2)
