I've had 2 instances of problems running the app. One was a report from a user here, and another was trying to install the app on my TV. In both cases, the app showed a blank gray screen after install and and startup.
I have had debug versions on all my devices here at some point, so I'm not a very good clean test case. Has anyone had any luck installing and getting the basic set of modules running? Or any problems? Thanks for any feedback. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crosswire.bishop Troy On 03/02/2018 01:31 PM, David Haslam wrote: > *_Suggestion:_* > Please edit https://wiki.crosswire.org/Frontends:Bishop > and add these details. > > Best regards, > > David > > Sent with ProtonMail <https://protonmail.com> Secure Email. > > ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ > On 1 March 2018 2:26 AM, Troy A.
