For those of you who have a problem with the mobile version on Android not retaining data properly:
- Go to your system settings for Android
- Check the permissions for the BeerSmith app
- Make sure that BeerSmith has permissions to write data to your SD card/local storage

This permission should be enabled by default, but some users have had issues with it not being enabled, and as a result they lose data when the app is shut down or pushed out of memory.

Very serious BUG:

After switching smartphones (Motorola Moto G52 XT2221-2, Android 12, Kernel 4.19.157), the app does not allow creating recipes (add recipe button is stuck), does not save/persist unit settings, cloud login, advanced options or any other other recording-related operation. Using BeerSmith 3.2.2 Mobile.

Note: the permission to write data to the device's storage has been enabled for the application, the problem still exists.

I've been using BeerSmith since 05/2019, and I've already changed my smartphone twice. Despite having come across other common bugs that are reported on the forum, this situation is unprecedented.

From the old smartphone, I noticed that BeerSmith keeps files/directories in some places, and an attempt was to manually create the same structure on the new smartphone, but I don't use root (superuser) for testing.

lib/arm/
lib/arm/libsqlc-native-driver.so
oat/
base.apk

Note: the Moto G52 is arm64, different from the old smartphone, but I understand that this is not the case.
