Android app unable to update asset list from server

[pantherman594]

The bug

The assets on the server are not updating in Android app. I noticed that my recent photos have the "not synced" icons on them in the app, but the backup screen shows that there are no assets that need to be backed up. On the web interface, all the assets that showed "not synced" are indeed there, as well as additional assets that were on the server but not my device.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Debian 11 LXC on Proxmox 8.1.11 (host running Debian 12)

Version of Immich Server

v1.102.3

Version of Immich Mobile App

v1.102.2 build 135

Platform with the issue

• Server
• Web
• Mobile

Additional information

Not sure if this is relevant but I recently restored (only) the database from a backup when migrating docker storage engines, following the documentation. I ran into the "earth" type issue and included the sed command when restoring.

Can you try logout and log back in?

[pantherman594]

Ah that did it, thanks! Do you know why this happened?

[alextran1502]

There might be a bug in the sync mechanism. We are doing some rework on it.
