Seems on Android, this just silently fails; press login, and it tries and doesn't go any further. No error, no feedback

Commons App for Android also needs to implement this: https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues/328

Has work on this been abandoned? In the mobile app, a message asking for the 2FA code is delivered, but there is no input box.

iOS seems fine

T236385: 2FA UI disappeared from android app - can't login and T227925: Unable to log in to Android app with two-factor authentication (2FA)

Seemingly fixed in alphas, so should be released soon?

@Reedy Thank you for the note but "Fix in alpha" seems far from actually resolving this production issue is there a task to "Release to production" that can be followed?

Maybe @Dbrant or @Charlotte can comment on this?

Based on the comments on the other two tasks... There seems to be some confusion

The necessary fix is https://github.com/wikimedia/apps-android-wikipedia/commit/361e389dfd62cc65cf40e5e13b13289c6b51ed89 which is for sure not in a release. I don't know offhand how they track the next release and when it's coming. @Charlotte should know

Thanks Reedy, @Charlotte is there a publicly visible log of current known bugs - the phab bug is closed as new software was written - but there is still a production outage ongoing as it hasn't been released.

Thanks for the comment @Xaosflux - apologies for the confusion. As @Dbrant mentioned in T227925 this was a regression on work that had already been released, which seems to have happened when we did a cherry-picked release a week or so ago. You can always find the latest bugs we're working on in our Milestone boards. The current milestone is N: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/4123/

As for a public backlog of bugs that have not yet been allocated to a particular release, those live in the Bug Backlog column of our main workboard.
