Magazines

I cannot get any new magazines since July 2017. I've tried uninstalling Gospel Library and re-installing it, and there is still no option to download the latest magazines.

Assuming this is an Android device, someone in my ward today showed me the exact same thing. I suspect that this is, at the moment, is probably an app/content delivery problem. I believe there is a Feedback/Help option in the app. Use that to notify the developers.

What version of the app? What version of Android? I just opened my phone, and saw August. I did a refresh and saw September.

My tablet is a Surface which is Microsoft.

I just installed 4.0.1 on my Windows 10 tablet. I was able to download September.

I've tried installing Gospel Library from the store. Where do you find version 4.0?

The Windows Store. So long as you're running Windows 10, version 4.0.7.0 should download directly. The beta version, 4.0.9.0, is also available. Versions prior to v4 are only available on unsupported versions of Windows, like Windows 8.1.

Non-Beta, Version 4.0.7.0

Would I be wrong if I were to guess that the prior version hit on a depreciated content source? If so, that would explain a lot.

Not wrong, no. Version 2.x of Gospel Library for Windows shares its content with version 3.x for Android. As both are legacy versions of the app, the content team updates their content considerably less often than the current version and won't be updating it at all for very much longer.

Refresh my memory. Was GL 3.x for Windows skipped?

I guess the real question is if users of Windows 8 facing content store "end-of-life" problems?

Version 3 was the prerelease of what is now version 4. It was around for about a year.

And, yes, Gospel Library for Windows 8.1 is having end of life issues because of the content team's decision to kill the older content platform. When we wrote version 4, we had to entirely rewrite the app to handle the new universal content platform. V2 doesn't have this capability, and rewriting the app for a rapidly diminishing platform when volunteer time is already limited just isn't practical.
