N26 actions tab loads forever

[deviant]

In N26, the actions tab shows a placeholder screen forever. If no GMS implementation is installed, this does not happen. I spent a decent amount of time tracking this down to the wallet API — I believe that its existence makes N26 think there is support (or makes it attempt to test for support), but since the IOwService does nothing, it just waits for a response forever. After some more searching, I also came across this Reddit thread, which arrives at the same conclusion.

I believe that #971, #372, and #626 are caused by this as well, and there's probably more apps out here with the same behaviour that haven't been reported yet (indeed, the N26 bug had a Reddit post but no relevant issue here), so this would probably be good to fix sooner rather than later. I spent quite some time looking through decompiler output and the GMS docs to see if I could figure out the exact sequence of events that would happen with Google's implementation (and thus the minimum necessary API implementation), but I'm not familiar enough with the GMS internals (or Android, for that matter) to do so.

Here's the logcat for posterity:

Hello, I have the same issue, and I can't make a transfer anymore on version 3.51.2 (202040000).
I didn't manage to downgrade using Titanium Backup.
How did you go back to the previous version? Apkmirror?

[deviant]

@fdawans where did I say anything about downgrading?

[fdawans]

So you kept that version?
I checked the reddit thread, I will follow the instructions there.
Edit: downloaded N26 apkm on apkmirror then used their installer to install N26 apkm version 3.45.

[deviant]

@fdawans I uninstalled microG and switched to GApps

[laurentS]

Hi, I have the same issue. Tested with N26 version 3.51.2 and 3.52.202041002. I can't do development in java, but happy to help with testing, investigating and moral support :)

[brumela]

I can confirm this, n26 version 3.45 is last version that is working.

[ArchangeGabriel]

N26 3.53 works for me.

[ArchangeGabriel]

(Just to be clear: in this version, they removed “Actions” and replaced it with “Card”, which just works)

[ale5000-git]

I'm closing it since it is no longer an issue.
