ch.admin.bag.dp3t Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{ch.admin.bag.dp3t/com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiActivity}

See original GitHub issue

Affected app Name: SwissCovid Package id: ch.admin.bag.dp3t Package version: 1.2.0.12000

Describe the bug

The SwissCovid app stopped to work and shows a message that a more recent Google Play version is needed. I could see the app crash once:

SwissCovid 1.2.0 uses the “ExposureWindow” mode of Google’s Exposure Notification API. This is not yet implemented in microG, see #1168. Becoming compatible again is going to be quite some work, but I’ll put it rather high on my list.

@tobru the version play store offers me for download is 1.1.2.11200 which does not have any issues. I manually downloaded 1.2.0.12000 and can reproduce it now. I’ll have a look how to fix the issue.

Until then, I’d advise you to downgrade to 1.1.2.11200. Note that, as all relevant data (collected ids, sharing keys) is stored within microG, it should be safe to uninstall SwissCovid if required for downgrade.
