Android 26.04.3.1 cannot open password-protected XLSX files

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (SM-X200)
Android: 14
Collabora Office: 26.04.3.1
Online git-hash: 20a46c332c
Core git-hash: 20a46c332c38

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create an ordinary XLSX spreadsheet.
  2. Confirm that it opens normally in Collabora Office Android.
  3. Password-protect the XLSX file.
  4. Transfer the protected file to the Android tablet.
  5. Open it in Collabora Office and enter the correct password.

Actual result:
Collabora displays “Loading document” briefly and then returns to the Recent Files screen. No error message is displayed.

Entering an intentionally incorrect password produces exactly the same behaviour.

Expected result:
The spreadsheet should open after entering the correct password. An incorrect password should produce an appropriate incorrect-password message.

Additional test:
The identical XLSX file opens normally in Collabora before password protection is added. After password protection is added, it no longer opens in Collabora.

If need be I am ready to forward a copy of the XLXS file and relative password.

password of the attached file is 123456789

Hey @Chef8 @mickbeaman @carmfar,

We’ve already fixed this bug and released a new snapshot. The app hasn’t been updated in the store yet, but you can try the latest snapshot here:

Thanks,

Thank you, Darshan, for confirming that the problem has been fixed.

I would prefer to wait for the official Google Play Store update rather than install the snapshot. I am an amateur and am not confident I can install a snapshot.

Could you please confirm which version number will contain this fix, so I can recognise it when the update becomes available?

Many thanks.

@carmfar
