Also check out the email thread Chore wheel Aug 14 – 20, 2021 — it lists multiple users on Google Play with search issues.

Instead of showing the error message, we can show a proper message (maybe a snackbar? and not block the user to use the feature) and say the database structure has been updated and the older versions of the app will not be supported for the migration process.

@JTannerWMF Please advise a proper wording for the message, thanks!

A snackbar sounds good to me. Is there an action that the user can take so it’ll work again? E.g. update or restart the app? In that case, we could add a link to the snackbar to do specific action. This variable will likely affect the wording of the snackbar.

The action can be to refresh the current page without restart the app, or maybe we can do it silently and show the snackbar as a reminder instead of an actionable tooltip.

@schoenbaechler @cooltey - Is there any information on how to trigger this error? Thanks

This was a super rare error that was specific to just a few devices, and is not reproducible in normal circumstances.
Can be considered resolved.
