Hello there tegridyfarmer! 👋

Thank you and congrats 🎉 for opening your first PR on this project! ✨ 💖

We will try to review it soon!

[johannesjo]

Thanks for opening this up! Did you test if the android app builds and works with this change?

[tegridyfarmer]

No, I can try it but I have never made a build. Do I need to use Android Studio for that?

Yes!

[tegridyfarmer]

I managed to build two debug-builds using ./gradlew assembleDebug.
https://github.com/tegridyfarmer/super-productivity/releases/tag/target-android-15

The application seems to work normally, but does mention that it is in debug mode as notification on the bottom on app start.
Should I have built it differently using npm run dist:android, npm run dist:android:prod or assembleRelease?

[tegridyfarmer]

On another application (PrivateLock) I used assembleRelease and it has worked great without the notification. So that was it.

Currently I guess some testing has to be done on an Android 15 device or in a Android 15 emulator like in Android Studio.

Yes! I think checking if all basic stuff works (creating some tasks), should be enough. Could you have a look?

[tegridyfarmer]

If I have some time I will try and test it in Android Studio with a Android 15 build this weekend.
And I will send a screen recording of it here.

[johannesjo]

No screen recording needed. Thanks. I trust you :) Just testing once would be great!

[tegridyfarmer]

There are some issues: this is likely caused by the end-to-end display mode that Android 15 uses for apps.
Currently I can not go further than the time tracking instruction as it it shown under the notifcation bar.
This is an issue I encountered on the Pixel 8 with Android 15 in Android studio.

What do you think a fitting solution is?

[johannesjo]

Thank you very much for testing this!

What do you think a fitting solution is?

Not sure. I might be mistaken, but I don't think that it is a high priority to increase the target version. I'd rather focus my efforts some place else for the time being.

With Android 16 being finalized in the coming months is it maybe better to wait for the 36 sdk to come out, so that does not have to be addressed later?

Yes, lets do it like this.

[tegridyfarmer]

I'll open a new PR when Android 16 is out
