This is a draft, waiting for the annoying alert to appear again
Bug Description
- an annoying pop up always claims that a new update is available.
- upon installing via ui OR installing the latest version from the threema homepage, the update info persists
it seems the latest version from early march has not been compiled as version for macOS
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
- Have Threema Web App on Mac installed
- Use Threema Web App
- Get random update available prompt
5. Restart as prompted
- Have the same version ....
- download latest from homepage
Potential Solution
actually release 2.5.4 as download on your homepage
Your Environment
- Threema Web version:
- Threema App version:
- Browser name and version:
- Computer operating system and version:
- Smartphone operating system and version:
This affects Threema Desktop and not Threema Web, but thanks for the note, we'll take a look.
Thank you @threema-danilo the version pop up lead me to this repository. I am sorry. Shall i recreate it on the other repo?
@herpaderpaldent to summarize the repository structure:
- https://github.com/threema-ch/threema-web/ is the actual implementation of the Threema web client. It is used both on web.threema.ch and is embedded in Threema 1.0 for desktop.
- https://github.com/threema-ch/threema-web-electron/ is the Electron wrapper around Threema Web. This is where the update check happens.
We did not enable the issue tracker for the threema-web-electron repository, because we prefer if these requests are channelled through the regular support system (https://threema.ch/en/support-request). However, since this is now something that we've heard occasionally from a few people, let's keep the issue here for now.
Regarding your issue, in the two screenshots of the version, I can see that the actual upgrade did happen successfully, from 1.2.40 to 1.2.41. In both versions, the embedded version of Threema Web remains at 2.5.3 (2.5.4 will be included in the next release).
Do you still get the "update available" prompt?
I had the same issue with the pop-up, for months, but yesterday I downloaded the newest version from https://releases.threema.ch/web-electron/v1/release/Threema-Latest.dmg and now the version information says "Version 2.5.3 (1.2.41) Lütispitz" and the pop-up is gone.
Do you still get the "update available" prompt?
i can confirm just like @thepatcher, that with the latest version the prompts are gone with the 1.2.41. Somehow the upgrade via ui in contrast to downloading the .dmg did not occur.
Thanks for the confirmation! It was probably an issue with a single release, where something went wrong in the build process. Manually updating should help.
This is the latest pop-up appearing.
How much longer on v2 for android and desktop? Have you resigned?
@herpaderpaldent thanks for letting us know. We recently did an update of various server certificates, and this seems related. Should get fixed soon!
Thank you @threema-danilo
