Hi QA team!
Last week, we focused on getting the number of "QA:needsComment" reports
down. We went from 160 to 135 in one week – the lowest number since July
2020! Thanks everyone! Let's keep an eye on those ones regularly to make
sure no issue is lost in history. You can track how the tally changes in
the QA Dashboard (Timelines tab):

For this week, we want to have a look at existing reports about the
Android Viewer, and also test the latest build to make sure no serious
new issue has popped up.
This is because we are planning to have the Android Viewer back in
Google Play! Even though it has never left the F-Droid repositories, it
hadn't been updated until earlier in the year. Now that it is up to date
on F-Droid, the app will also be re-listed on Google Play to reach more
users.
To test a recent build, you can either use the build available on
F-Droid, or head to this link to get a more recent trunk build:

If you don't have an Android device, you can use an emulator, for example:
* quickemu (along with quickgui if you want a graphical user
interface): https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui#readme
* Waydroid: https://waydro.id/
* Android Studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator
Please review the existing reports listed here:

We start the week with 36 open reports, but it is possible that some of
those are not relevant anymore, or need to be updated.
Notes:
* The "Android Viewer" can also edit documents, if Experimental Mode
is turned on.
* The Android Viewer uses the same codebase as desktop LibreOffice,
which is why it is part of the same product on Bugzilla. Therefore,
a bug you experience in the Viewer might already be reported in e.g.
the Writer component.
* If an issue can be reproduced in Collabora's Android app, but not in
the LibreOffice Android Viewer, the report might have to be marked
as "moved" to the Collabora repository:
https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues
As always, thank you for your help! And please join us on IRC
<https://web.libera.chat/?chan=#libreoffice-qa> or Telegram
