Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I managed to get 34 going again by very quickly and repeatedly tapping the top left corner of the screen (hamburger menu) at startup. Uninstalled and did it again to verify.

Just keep trying if it crashes.

Alternatively, turn on airplane mode, open the app, go to add the account, then turn off airplane mode before clicking login. This prevents it from trying to connect to the default lemmy.ml on startup, which is what causes the crash.

I just opened the app repeatedly after every crash. After like 10, 15 times, the app is working fine.

Wasn't working for me, app crashes before I could do anything on the menu.

What I did was turn off WiFi, launch the app and go to the login screen from the menu and then only turn WiFi back on when I was ready to log in

This worked for me.

I just wanna thank you again for helping me figure this out earlier.

Thats ok. Wouldn't be surprised if we have to use tricks like this again with future updates to lemmy/jerboa.

Hopefully a backwards compatibility gets added at some point.

Can confirm it works! Thanks so much

No probs. Glad to be using the app again. Can't get used to the browser experience.
