Description

I have both the "extended confirmed" and "template editor" user rights on enwiki, but when I go to a page on the Android app that is protected under either of the relevant protection levels, I get the little icon of a pencil with a lock blocking it, and if I try to click on that icon I get the notice saying "This page is protected: Sorry, your account does not have sufficient privileges to edit this page at this time."

I have confirmed that this does not happen on the mobile site (using Chrome on the same phone).

@PinkAmpersand do you want to see if this still happens in Alpha?

The alpha release is available for download at http://android-builds.wmflabs.org/

It contains our latest updates, including a recent change that likely fixes this issue.

Please reopen if this is still happening.

@Dbrant Yep, it's working fine now. Thanks. Although I did get an error when I tried to edit a Lua module on the app. Just a generic "an error occurred," not the "page protected" message I was running into here. Is that a known bug(/feature?), or should I report it?

This is happening to me on the latest version (2.7.50345-r-2021-03-04). I can't edit pages protected pages in hewikipedia in the app, but I can edit the same page in the browser. I get this error when trying to edit in the app{F34154746}

Could it be related to T275322?

I don't think so - I can't start editing the page, it doesn't go into review (hewiki doesn't have a pending changes protection as far as I know)

@Nickolas Could you please try again with the build that is on the URL below and let us know if it is fixed?

https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/android/wikipedia/stable/wikipedia-2.7.50358-r-2021-05-11.apk

Thanks You

Yes it's fixed there! Thank you very much.
I can edit now from the app now, although it still shows the lock icon. I'm not sure if that's the intended behavior, but that's a different issue. Thanks to whoever worked on this 😊

Moving to signoff based on the comments above.
