Good catch, it seems like some dependency update now forces us to explicitly enable handling back presses - probably due to the new back gesture invocation APIs added in Android 14.

I tried the debug version and it didn't fix the problem

Strange, it's fixed for me.

Can you please keep the issue open? Maybe someone helped me😔

Strange, it's fixed for me.

tried the latest commits but it isn't fixed. It works though by reverting this commit ce8ed66

Reverting this commit only or using a build before that commit (so also reverting any other changes)?

only this commit.

i use this command in GitHub workflow

• name: Revert Commit
  run: |
  git revert -v -n -m 1 ce8ed66 --no-edit -X theirs

which device are you the testing it on? this and that full screen bug aren't reproducible. I am on MiUi. i wonder what the author of this issue is running as OS.

[Pamilg8]

I test LibreTube on different devices.( Android 12, One UI Core 4.1)
Or Android 13, One UI 5.1
Many Samsung devices have the problem
The back button works when the device is offline

Can't reproduce either.
Samsung S20 A13, can you try latest debug?

[Pamilg8]

Can't reproduce either. Samsung S20 A13, can you try latest debug?

I have tried the latest debug on samsung a32 and samsung a21s, a31 and the problem is not fixed. Samsung a13 runs full One UI. You try A21s and a12 running One UI Core version. A32 and a31 are running full One UI 5.1 and One UI 4.1 but they have the same problem. The S20 is an expensive phone. Most users use a budget phone

However, when I go back to the home page from the search section, the button works. In other cases, it never works

I can reproduce the problem on the latest master and can confirm that reverting to 0b059cc fixes it. Interestingly, it seemed to work on my emulator, so maybe it only affects lower versions of Android?

[t-e-s-tweb]

finally someone was able to reproduce it. its present on latest debug too. but I wouldn't call android 12 a lower version android because according to statecounter as of Feb 2024 android 13 is only on ~28% of devices, rest are on 12 and below.
also on the latest commits reverting is causing builds to fail. i hope a solution of found soon before the code changes too much.
