Upgrade to BOINC Android 8.2.6 security error message on installing and stuck on Splash Screen #6633
Description
Describe the bug
When I went to upgrade from Version 8.2.5 shortly after double click the downloaded APK file Android thew a warning message on the screen reading:
"Unsafe App Blocked
This app was built for an older version of Android and does not include the latest privacy settings."
Then it gave me the option to override and install it after entering my device lock pin which I did.
Then when I tried to run BOINC it got stuck on the BOINC loading Splash Screen and I can't do anything using BOINC on the Android device. I can connect remotely and control it from a desktop PC using Efmer's BoincTasks but that won't work if I'm not at home.
Steps to reproduce
Download the Android 8.2.6 apk from the BOINC website,
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_8.2.6.apk
Double click apk in download folder wait for security message,
Click on drop down menu "more detail", enter device pin to override & start installing.
Wait for install to complete and click finished.
Click on the BOINC logo on your screen to start...
Expected behavior
Not having to override the security settings to install and being able to control it on the device screen.
