Migrating from farmos.app to v1.farmos.app

Hi @graffte ! Just to add to what @jgaehring said…


**EDIT from @jgaehring**: There is currently only ONE supported and recommended version of Field Kit, which is the “Progressive Web App” that you can find at v1.farmos.app. Previously, Field Kit was available as an app on the Android Play Store and iOS App Store, but those versions have not received updates and will be taken down soon, if not already.


The reasoning for this is outlined here: Field Kit: a platform dilemma

Web apps can be “installed” so that they appear on your desktop just like a native app from the store does. So it shouldn’t “feel” any different than what you’re used to once you get it installed.

If you load https://v1.farmos.app in your phone’s browser, you will either be prompted to “Install to home screen” automatically - or you can click the site’s menu button (where you might go to bookmark it), and find an option in there to install it. Happy to help if you have any trouble!

@jgaehring I do think it would be worth putting a message up on the Android app’s store page to this effect, especially now that v1.0.1 is released. I think there is too much risk for new users to download it and face these same bugs, since it is not being actively updated as much. Either that or roll out the v1.0.1 update to the app store…
