Hi all,

i wanted to use TinyWeatherForecast to update weather data on my smartwatch in conjunction with Gadgetbridge, as the alternative "weather notification" app serves this purpose but is a bit too "noisy".

Unfortunately, TinyWeatherForecast crashes permant immediately after the "preparing the location data" dialog. The display orientation has no influence on this behavior, the app crashes in landscape and portrait mode.

The behavior seems to be similar to issue #74.

TinyWeatherForecast version is:

0.56.3 (F-Droid)

Android version is:

Gadgetbridge version is:

0.59.1

Thanks a lot for your report. This unfortunately happens on some devices and makes the current version 0.64.3 unusuable. Reason is a broken database handling.

This is a confirmed bug that is solved by now: #74

Unfortunately, because of a mistake made by me in the last tagged release, version 0.56.4 that should have fixed this will never arrive at f-droid.

The codebase is not ready yet for a next version, I guess it will take about two more weeks.

As a temporary solution, you can do the following:
a) version 0.65.0 or earlier will work (version 0.56.1 introduced the database error making the app crash on some devices)
b) download version 0.56.4 apk here or here, but it is "untrusted" since not built by fdroid, and switch to the fdroid build with the next release. (You will have to uninstall the app first.)

Sorry for the trouble!
