Update broke the app entirely - Lemmy.World

Ever since an update two or three days ago, Voyager has been displaying nothing but a blank screen on my phone. Just running the PWA on Firefox 132.0.2 on my old Samsung Galaxy S10. I get the same results when visiting vger.app directly.

Which version of Voyager are you on?

I’m on 2.18.5 with my Pixel 7 and everything is running fine for me.

Yeah I figured it must not be affecting anyone else since I’m the first to bring it up here. Not sure I can check the version when no part of the PWA loads though, but I think vger.app is supposed to be whatever is the current version

The updates/changelog have been weird for a little while now on the PWA.

I feared mine would get broken too, but so far I’m ok. I’m on iOS.

Anyone have insight into why the changelog has been weird? And there was a set of updates that seemed to do nothing recently?

I’ve been upgrading the build process and there was a bug with the PWA deployment where it was deploying changes directly to vger.app. It should be fixed now though, and only update with releases :)

If you see any issues in the future just lmk

Sweet. Thanks for the details!

No prob. And don’t worry, it’s for the greater good, the new build process is amazing. :)

ppls that want to live on the bleeding edge can now use beta.vger.app (PWA), Testflight (iOS) or Open Testing (Android) and they will get every single update to main branch! Should help catch bugs earlier too.

There was a very short period with a bad deploy of the PWA a couple days ago (not native apps) where it would show a blank screen. However your device should auto update once you close ALL vger.app tabs and reopen 2x (once refresh to fetch latest updates, one to reflect on page) – I checked on my device.

If that doesn’t fix it, can you please check your browser console if you’re technically inclined? You could try this browser extension or, the official but more complex method

Thank you, this got me to resolve it. No amount of refreshing and closing tabs worked, so I did have to delete my site data after all. Lost my settings, but at least it works again.
