Hi Andrey,

Thank you for testing the latest build and for sharing the video.

We carefully reviewed the issues you mentioned (Not display text input field properly while typing, crash during offline video sending). However, we have tested the same build on multiple Android devices across different OS versions — including older versions than your device — and all functionalities are working correctly without crashes.

When an issue appears only on a specific device but not on others using the same APK, it is typically related to device-level factors such as:

– OS-level restrictions or manufacturer customizations
– Cached data from previous installs
– Battery optimization / background limits
– Device storage or memory conditions
– Corrupted installation or outdated build remnants

To properly investigate and resolve this, we kindly ask you to do the following:

1. Confirmation that the previous app version was fully uninstalled before installing the new one
2. A fresh test after rebooting the device

We recommend testing on a second device as well to determine whether the behavior is device-specific and send the screen recording if possible

We are committed to resolving any genuine issues, but we need reproducible information to proceed effectively.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards, Dev

Hello Andrey,

We are sharing the latest optimized build of the application with you. (Named friends.apk in the server)
In this version:
• Complete refactoring of API request handling for significantly faster response time
• Optimized chat loading and message sending performance
• Improved video, audio, and media upload stability
• Reduced unnecessary background processing
• Enhanced overall responsiveness
• Updated UI elements to provide a fresher and more modern experience

During this process, we observed that the previous code structure of the application was not fully optimized and included several unnecessary and inefficient parts. Earlier, this may not have caused noticeable issues because the chat functionality was limited.

However, with the addition of advanced features such as media previews, offline queueing, Firebase integration, and real-time updates, restructuring the application architecture became necessary to maintain performance and stability.
This restructuring required significant additional development time beyond the original scope, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.

The app is now running much faster and more smoothly across tested devices.
Please uninstall any older version before installing the new build to ensure proper testing.
I am also attaching a video demonstrating all functionalities working properly in the updated version.

Kindly review and share your feedback.
Thank you!

Hello Andrey!
I am working on it, I hope this time i will send you a full and final application without any bugs. Now the main concern from my side is the app is working absolutely fine, so i am figuring out why the app has so many bugs from your side. Hope to send you final application as soon as possible.

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.

I have noticed that your apple developer account membership is expired!

We need an APNs key or certificates to generate notification on real IOS devices. Apple controls the APNs so,
Expired membership = no APNs access = no production notifications.

Done! Thank you.

Hello Andrey,
– Regarding the blinking you notice while opening the app:
On Android 12 and above, the system always shows the app icon briefly before our custom splash screen due to Google’s new Splash Screen API. That square white “Friends” logo you mentioned is part of Android’s default behavior. I’ve already minimized this effect by matching the background color, so what you now see is just a quick transition from the system launch icon to our splash screen. This small “blink” is unavoidable on Android 12+ and is standard behavior across all modern apps.
– Video previews inside the chat screen are now fully implemented. Users can see rich previews and play videos from YouTube and other third-party links directly within the chat.
– I’ve also updated the Sign In button color on the login screen to match the app’s theme for better visual consistency.
– About the offline issue you mentioned (video not sending and disappearing after coming online):
On our side, everything is working correctly. Messages, videos, and voice notes are syncing properly even when sent offline and delivered once the connection is restored. I tested this between “Friend” and “Jully,” and all chats—including voice notes—are loading and delivering as expected.
– I’ve attached a screen recording showing this behavior. Please review it on your end.
