Can we please release a fixed version on the store? Waiting ages takes its toll

Bruh, team kodi either ask for donations so you can fund a developer to help, or finish the project, people will happily donate, but neither is being done.

Still so helpful to those looking for the app on the app store. I get you guys are busy but Kodi for Xbox gets zero support. People would gladly pay to get some help with this app now and again. The app having issues for months is ridiculous

It’s not ideal, but let’s not forget this is a free product maintained by volunteers. I’m a bit frustrated too but at least we know a fix is coming.
Saying people would pay for help may well be true, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually something that can realistically happen.

As I see it, we are far from the position to support paid developers. The donations would have to increase dramatically.
And even if we could afford paid positions, surly one of the first jobs would be in the administrative sector of the project. Then, a coding position would be prioritised, focusing at the core. As for platform support, Android would be first instead of niche ones (like Xbox).
And on top, this ignores the resulting inequality towards voluntary contributions.
If you want to accelerate progress in areas you are interested in, make bug reports. Learn to bisect. Investigate issues. This frees up developer resources which might be utilised elsewhere.

Just made an account to say thanks, please ignore the people being jerks demanding the world from a free project like this.
I did have some issues updating the app on a Series X. I had to uninstall entirely, then reboot my machine twice. After doing this everything is working fine, and my setup remained intact, both my scanned library and installed add-ons.
I was able to scan a show with a lot of episodes that kept crashing Kodi before the new release and it handled it with no issues.
