Updates when we use Carelink

[808IUFan]

I love having all apps updated but when I tried to update xDrip+ the last time, nothing worked because is appears that Carelink Follower does not work on all versions. Is there a way we can put in the details of the different apps downloads if it works with Carelink Follower? I am using version de39292-dev-2024.01.21. Is there a newer version of the app that works with Carelink? #3422 #3424

We have a had a new Nightly with some modifications for CareLink. I don't know if it will address your issue or not.
But, it is very easy to try different versions of xDrip as there is no need tp uninstall before installing another version.
So, even if you update and it does not work, you can always install the previous version again.

Please don't respond to the email in order to post even though the GitHub email tells you you can.

Please log into GitHub and edit the post you want to make and tap on the paper clip symbol, which will let you attach an image.

That release is not from this repository.

You can go to the repository you got that from and ask for advice.

If you want to use the releases from this repository, you will need to backup everything first: https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Backup-Database.html
Then, you will need to uninstall xDrip.
Then, you will be able to install xDrip from this repository.
Then, you can restore your backup.

I tried that and Carelink Follower was not an available source. So I went back to the release I am currently on.

[Navid200]

I can see CareLink follower under Hardware Data Source in my xDrip, which is from this repository.

That's the source wizard.
It is needed for setting up something like a Dexcom collector that requires changing multiple settings. And it only works right after you install xDrip for the first time. I don't believe you can use it to change to a different data source.

Please just go to Hardware Data source and choose CareLink:

Ok so now that I explore more, if you click settings and change Nightscout or Dexcom, Carelink does appear and it imported the settings, but when you open the app, it immediately crashes. The widge works fine, but when you click the widget and open to full screen it immediately crashes and after several attempts, android asks if you want the close the app because it's repeatedly faulting.

[Navid200]

Please uninstall xDrip again.
Install it. Don't restore the backup.
You must be able to open the app, right?
Now, go to hardware data source and choose CareLink.
It doesn't crash, does it?
Now, change the CareLink settings to get readings. Does it work and not crash?

I suspect there may be a setting coming from the other repository that causes the crash. But, I cannot be sure.

Is there anything in the previous install you absolutely need?

[808IUFan]

I fixed it by restarting the phone. Maybe there was some garbage from the incompatible version. Thanks for your help.
