Widget isn't updating

[pogue]

I'm using 1.0 of the Hacker News widget from the Play store on a Galaxy S23+ with Android 14 & OneUI 6.1. In the last few days I noticed the widget wasn't updating, but if I clicked the title bar to open the app it will show me top, best, & new.

I cleared the cache, cleared data, uninstalled & reinstalled but no luck. The widget just indicates it's trying to update but nothing loads. I'm using a custom DNS (NextDNS) so I can see it's trying to connect to thirdgate.dev. I also use a VPN. I disabled the VPN & switched to dns.google but still - no luck.

I'm fairly confident I've tried everything on my end. Samsung just pushed out a security update for OneUI 6.1 in the last couple of days, so I'm not sure there's any correlation there or not.

If you need any other details, let me know.
Thanks!

@pogue Apologies, was not on this lately. Were you still hitting this issue? I'm yet to encounter this issue, but will try on OneUI 6.1 to see if I can recreate.

Hi, yes, it's still occurring. I would have thought it was a server issue. But the widget is showing yesterday or the day before's Hacker News and when I click to open the main app, the 'Hacker News: Top' section is hung on "Data loading... pull to refresh". However, both the Best and New section load perfectly. which is unusual & unexpected behavior. Clearing the cache does not seem to help.
