Hi Andrey,
We tested all reported cases on the latest build:
Offline video sending & sync after restart
Audio playback
Notification redirection
Chat loading
All are working correctly on our side:
Offline media is queued and sent once internet is restored (even after reopening the app).
Audio plays clearly.
Notifications open the correct chat.
Messages and media load normally.
We’ve shared screen recordings showing these flows.
Please note: the app is built on an older system (GMC + GMA). During this project we upgraded core libraries, added video previews/in-chat player, integrated Firebase, and improved offline sync. These rely heavily on your backend/server setup, so differences in backend version, plugins, or hosting can cause behavior we can’t reproduce locally.
Performance: the original scope didn’t include system-wide optimization. Adding modern features increases load. Deep optimization would require backend + app refactoring as a separate task.
Video previews & RuTube:
Mobile supports link previews and an in-chat mini player for platforms that allow embedding (e.g., YouTube).
Some platforms (including RuTube) restrict third-party playback, so their videos may not work in-app.
Web/desktop previews are controlled by the GMC backend and web code; the mobile app can’t change that.
Splash screen: on Android 12+, the system briefly shows the app icon before our splash screen due to Google’s new API. This is expected behavior.
At this point:
All agreed mobile features are completed.
Reported issues are not reproducible on our side and are validated with recordings.
