Murcielago Apologies, my post was a bit harsh.

Murcielago

No, it wasn't - no need to apologize. Your correction was helpful and apreachiated.

Murcielago 1.I don't get any notification when app crash.
2.I get Proton Mail on Google Play and get Proton Drive on it's website.

Proton Mail version is 4.9.0 and Proton Drive version is 2.18.0.

milklikecomputer Proton Drive from Proton's web site is 2.19.0, not 2.18.0. Please recheck, maybe it'll fix the issue.

Maybe I should try installing Proton Drive on Google Play?

I don't use drive - but for mail - I just use the web ui... I find the protonmail app to be pretty bad...

lcalamar For me, because of E2EE, I would choose to use a local application to prevent malicious code that could be sent from a compromised remote server.

lcalamar

milklikecomputer Not sure that the app is more secure but regardless - the Web UI is much more functional than the app... I figure I'm using GOS with Vanadium - so I'm pretty secure.

thmf I just tested it and all I had to do was scroll down the page and it crashed. 🤕

I think I'll switch to installing using Google Play, as it seems obvious that downloading from the official site using Obtainium won't update properly.

as it seems obvious that downloading from the official site using Obtainium won't update properly.

It's probably not an issue with Obtainium: App updates are not always rolled out at the exact same time, which can mean that there is already a newer version in the Playstore than e.g. on Github or on the manufacturer's site.

Murcielago I know that, but when I download it manually using my browser, I did download the latest version, I reorganized Obtainium but it shows up as the latest version, I think it could be a problem with the official website or with Obtainium, but either way it will make the update of the app unreliable.

lcalamar It's a fact that the web version has better usability (I'm not sure it can push notifications), but it's also a fact that the local app is more secure.

I think the article proves my point.

milklikecomputer I run into a lot of issues around obtanium. While it is my first app install tool - I find that several of my apps are available for update - when the 'new' version matches the version I am already running... I just ignore them but a little wonky

Proton Drive from Google Play also fails due to momory tagging, I will report the problem to Proton Security Team.

TrustExecutor

Proton Mail sometimes just crash upon startup. I suspect this is due to MTE. Restarting it again works fine. Never had this on my P6P without MTE.

TrustExecutor I have this exact same issue with proton and it has been happening for months. Same thing also happens in slack. I reported it to the slack team a month ago but even they couldn't triage, I'll probably email them again to try some other methods

I just had "Memory tagging detected an error in Proton Mail" while scrolling the body of an email in the app.

Sent a report to the Proton security team email address linked above.
