Context

Please complete the following information:

• Android OS Version: 11

• App Version 3.33 ~ 4.4.1
• Any other context about the problem that you think is relevant
• • we are able to create the shortcuts inside the app or via the launcher. As for the widget, the only way to create it, is via the launcher. And it always failed.

Hi,
So far I was not able to reproduce this issue, and I don't see any error logs for the given device ID.
Can you try removing all the app's widgets from the home screen, force stopping the app, restart the device, and then try again?

Hi, glad to see your reply.

Restarting or re-adding don't work.
On 2 of my devices.

Do you think we can have a patch for height-agnostic widget?

[Waboodoo]

Did this problem only show up in version 4.4.0 or 4.4.1, or has it already existed before?

[Waboodoo]

Also, what is the error logs you get with the shortcut widget, as opposed to the variable widget?

Tried again on 3.33

Variable widget

Customizable widget

And I remember 4.4.0 has the same results.

Widgets are all dead, and shortcuts are fine.

Alright, thanks for the details. This seems to be a vendor-specific problem. I will try to implement a fix/workaround, but since I can't reproduce this issue I can't guarantee that the fix will work right away. It is also likely that some of the widget customization options won't work.

[royyeh22]

Good to hear that.
I'll check on next version.
Thanks again 🙏

Version 4.5.0 is now available for beta testing. If possible, can you install the beta app and check if the widget works for you now?
