Actual behaviour

• When I'm starting the app I get an error.

That's the error I get:

Do you use a work profile?

[ezaquarii]

@tobiasKaminsky Would it be possible to get in touch with original developer to understand unbroadcastIntent() purpose? I'm tempted to just remove them, but I don't fully understand the risk of regression.

[tobiasKaminsky]

@ezaquarii this is invoked by

android/src/main/java/com/owncloud/android/ui/activity/FileDisplayActivity.java

Line 1448 in 2dab887

removeStickyBroadcast(intent);

removeStickyBroadcast(…) is deprecated, but it should work as long as the app has

android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Line 63 in 2dab887

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY" />

We should, at some point, get rid of this and use a sender/listener system, but please no eventBus/third party system.
If we want to do this, let us first discuss the idea.
