Eddie Android edition 3.1.0 available

[Staff 9972]

Hello!

Eddie Android edition is a fully integrated with AirVPN, free and open source WireGuard and OpenVPN GUI client. It is based on official WireGuard library and latest OpenVPN3-AirVPN library (free and open source software library by AirVPN), allowing comfortable connections to both OpenVPN and WireGuard servers. All Android versions from 5.1 to 14 are supported.
 
We're very glad to inform you that Eddie Android edition 3.1.0 is now available, featuring a complete update of all libraries, enhanced TV support, a new quick setting panel tile, revamped VPN profile generation, connection control buttons on notification, specific Android 14 support, GPS spoofing (default: off) and much more.

Special notes on the new GPS spoofing feature: if enabled, the location of the device will be set to a fake GPS position upon a successful VPN connection. When connecting to an AirVPN server, the location will be set to the country where the VPN server is located, through predefined coordinates. If the device connects to a non-AirVPN server, random country coordinates will be selected. To test and use this new feature, please set Eddie as the "mock location app" for your device in the developer settings page (only one app at a time can be the mock provider). Once enabled, you can also set the GPS spoofing refresh interval between 10, 5, 3, 1, 0.5 and 0.25 seconds (default: 1 second). The options are available in the Settings > System view.

Please report at your convenience any bug and problem in this thread. If possible generate a report from the app: by tapping the paper plane icon on the Log view bar rightmost side you will generate a full system report which will include both log and logcat and have it sent to our servers. Then you just need to send us the link the app shows you (open a ticket if you prefer to do it in private).

Please remember that, starting from Android TV 10, Always On VPN feature has been stripped off in order to prevent users from connecting to a VPN during an Android TV based system bootstrap. Therefore Eddie start & connection at bootstrap, as well as system built in leaks prevention, are not possible on Android TV 10 and higher versions. For leaks prevention you can rely on Eddie's "VPN Lock" feature. Android TV 9 and older versions can still start Eddie during the bootstrap and have it connected when you activate Always on VPN and configure Eddie accordingly.

When I force close the app.
Then connect from the quick settings tile without opening the app first.
It doesn't connect to my preferred country.

If I disconnect and then reconnect a 2nd time it works and connects to the correct country.

I've emailed support with the relevant logs.

Immediate crash while trying to open any *.conf or *.ovpn file on the "VPN PROFILE" tab.
Worked fine in 3.0.

Hello!

We confirm the bug at the first run, and we confirm that the tile button does not get updated the first time the app is launched when a connection is established from the app menus (the button remains gray and tells "not connected", as you correctly noticed). Under investigation for a quick fix in the next release.

@Fezenari

We can't reproduce the crash on any of our testing machines, can you please send us a report to let us investigate? After the app has crashed, re-run it (please do not reboot the device) and tap the paper plane icon on the "Log" view, then send us the link that Eddie will give you back. Eddie will send out the logcat too which should contain a thorough report of the previous crash.

Kind regards

I've sent the crash report through support request.

It's been over a month since the initial release post, but Eddie 3.1 is still not available on the Play Store. Is this intentional or just some Google shenanigans?

Hello!

It is intentional. We want to upload 3.2.0 on the Google Play Store directly, without passing through 3.1.

Kind regards
