Bug ID: 437995
Summary: kdeconnect.photo.request opens blank/white KDE connect
android app
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Android 11.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application

SUMMARY
After sending a `kdeconnect.photo.request` (with an empty body) to my android
smartphone (Google Pixel 5 running CalyxOS, a degoogled ROM with microG, the
stock Google Camera app and the stock Google Photos app with capped network
access), it opens the KDE connect app I installed from f-droid. The app stays
blank/white and nothing happens.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Send a kdeconnect.photo.request (with an empty body) to a paired android
smartphone (in my case, I'm using GSConnect and have checked the logs)
2. Smartphone opens the KDE Connect app with no content
3. Nothing happens
OBSERVED RESULT
It opens the KDE Connect app without any content (plain white) and doesn't
shoot a photo.
EXPECTED RESULT
It opens my default Camera app (Google Camera), shoots a photo, and sends the
photo back to my computer.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Desktop OS: Arch GNU/Linux (rolling release)
Desktop Environment: GNOME 40
Desktop Server: GSConnect extension (uses the standard KDE Connect protocol as
observed in the logs)
Smartphone OS: Android 11 (CalyxOS) with the microG Google Framework
replacement layer
Smartphone Applications: Google Camera, Google Photos (no network access)
Smartphone Client: KDE Connect 1.17.0 installed from F-Droid (standard
repository)
