George banking app not working after recent update

aurora store lets you manually download previous versions right?
could someone tell me what to input for the second last version? i never got the manual download to work

Type full version number without dots and add 2 in the end.

e.g for v26.18.15 you put 2618152

Previous version depends on country of your george app, for me the latest working version was 26.10.10 so it would be 2610102

In order to downgrade, first you have to uninstall the app and then manual download it.

Don’t forget that after reinstalling you will have to obtain authentication codes for activation.

ill try that once i got a new code from the bank (im austrian btw)
my question is how do i see previous versions? i tried to find like an update history so i can “downgrade” until i got a working version but i couldnt find anything usefull

There is no way to see history of previous versions on the phone or in aurora store.

Only workaround is to find app on apkmirror or other alternate store which lists older versions, get version code from there and put it in aurora store for manual download.

oh apkmirror does exactly what i need and shows me the versions numbers (so i cna use them in aurora)
ill be camping out at the bank tomorrow until i have a working version downloaded haha

thank you for the help

If the app does not work anymore because of Google Play Services compatibility, you can share this on the social media to put pressure on the bank: George without Google Play Services — Sapio

For me (George Austria) Version 26.18.24 from App Lounge seems to work. I’m on FP5 eOS 4.0, A15.

I also tried 26.18.24-huawei from the huawei AppGallery quickly and it works as well.

As with eOS4.0 you can disable microG for certain apps I also tried that just out of interest. The huawei-version keeps working even without microG, while the AppLounge (=-google) Version throws an error if you try to disable microG (I assume bc it expects gms to be present on the phone).

One more thing: I also noticed that the parts of George that did never work for me (e.g. adding a username or new product) are bc of the system-webview eOS uses. I tried to install Android System Webview Beta from App-Lounge and switched to it in developer settings. Then all those things start to work - just in case you should need it one day.

Still does not work for me (FP6 with 4.0). Made a clean installation as well. Still same behaviour I can confirm transactions with 2fa but the app crashes otherwise.

Hi,

just updated to Version 26.18.24-google
at.erstebank 10 minutes ago, did a reboot as well and now it seems to work :hugs:

The webview thingy I have to check, some things (Geo location etc) never worked…

Regards,

Downloading System Webview Beta and changed it in the developer settings did the trick,
it never worked before, now Geolocation (Travel Hub) seems to work - after choosing
got always an empty page..
Thanks a lot!

Have a look if you have installed the latest (26.18.24-google at.erstebank Austria)
it showed up this morning and now FP5 e/OS 4 official is working, With
this hack webview (Link) it seems to work also in some topics where I got just empty
pages..
Regards,
Yogi

Can confirm, with the latest update form today it works again! (FP 6 with Murena 4.0 official)
