Highlander 2022-08-12

Same as others, suddenly from nowhere, app has a bug and closes on start. Wont start since. Reinstall doesnt help, changes nothing. I had an older installer file, gave it a try and it works. Phone is a Samsung S21 with the recent G991BXXU5CVGB. Version of the installer that works is 4.20.0.1111. So I think its something in conflict with the recent apk and this android. Hope I could help some of you guys!

I am a network engineer and install hikvision product on a daily basis. Never any issues until today, I'm assuming an update was released as android no longer works, IOS is fine. Frustrating as all our Devices are android and with over 200 live systems a lot of our clients are having the same trouble and understandably concerned. We actually installed a solar powered system yesterday. The unit cost £1200 + Vat and then installation, travel, hotel, expenses + other costs all came to a high invoice for our client who was extremely happy with the outcome, that was until he woke up today. As a CCTV installation company we will look after this client at a cost to ourselves. I would ask what hik are doing about this for us all out there using there products???
