My new S10 has turned up today and has updated to Android 10. Camalert is not working on this phone.

Is this a Samsung S10 ?

If so it does look like I'm heading for trouble as well Sad

Unless there's an .APK available:

OK. Nice find but a poor relation to PGPSW actually fixing CA.

From what I've read each Android app has to be given a range of Android versions it will work under.

When developed/deployed there is a finite range you can specify.

It could be that other phones are running Android v 10.0 which is fine but Samsung may have adapted their own v 10 which is 10.1 and that is outside of the specified range.

Just my amateur guess from Mr Google:

android {
defaultConfig {
applicationId 'com.example.myapp'

// Defines the minimum API level required to run the app.
minSdkVersion 15

// Specifies the API level used to test the app.
targetSdkVersion 28

...
}
}

My S10 isn't tied to any operator as I bought it outright from John Lewis so SIM free.

It's still on Android 9.

Wonder if I can leave it there or will it get a forced update at some point.

According to the phone it last checked for a software update 1st Nov and I've just turned off 'auto download over wifi' pending CA info.

Given it's directional, prompts when out of date and plays through the car system it would be a shame to lose it.

Mine too is sim free (as I think was the OP's). I would think you can hold off updating, I used to have to instigate it on my S8. My update "sneaked in" while updating the phone out of the box. I like the look of the apk editor, but a bit worried about what it may bundle up as part of the new one it uploads as a replacement for the standard one. It's a real pain as it seems to have been left to rot on Android, whereas Apple got an upgrade recently(ish).

From a security perspective that are a LOT of reasons that you should keep up to date. Not upgrading an operating system just because of a single app is ridiculous especially when there is a very good alternative. I've been using the suggested speedtrap alert app and it is so much better than cameralert and works beautifully on my Galaxy S10+ running Android 10. I certainly wouldn't go back to cameralert now even if the issue was fixed.

It will be a real shame to be forced away from CA but needs must if Samsung Android 10 renders CA obsolete.

Any news from the PGPSW staff regarding an update ?

and thanks for the manifest info. I'm not into Android development so can only go via what Google suggests.

Just to let you guys know, CA is not the only app to be broken by Android 10 on Samsung Galaxy phones.

My paid for alarm is broken and no longer works properly, although it does work, and I've been advised the original app will not be fixed so I need to obtain a newer version, which looks identical, and I need to pay again for no ads. Leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
