The most recent Android one from the Play Store, ie 1.14.5. But, the app also crashes when I try to create a new account so it is not just when I try to import a backup.
I suggest you do a git checkout to version/tag 1.14.1 and then do the process from the start. 1.15.2-master is still unstable it seems.
OK, just did. Just to note that I previously compiled 1.15.1, not 1.15.2.
Checking out and compiling 1.14.1 results in an error message that libXss is not available which I was able to correct by “yum install libXScrnSaver”, When I then try to launch the application with “npm run start – --no-sandbox” I get a new error message:
Error: Cannot find module ‘./tsc-dist/main’
I have not been able to resolve this issue yet. Might you have a suggestion?
Googling told me that I needed to install
npm install --global typescript
After doing so and going through the build process again the app crashes - both when setting up an account anew or importing an Android backup - with the following last lines in the log file in .config:

Does this tell you what the reason might be?
can you do the testing outside of docker, not as root and without the --no-sandbox?
also when checking out an other version with git you need to start the building process from the beginning:
- delete node_modules, html_dist and tsc-dist
npm installnpm run build-
npm run startto test - follow the steps to package the app.
I can not see the reason for your crash currently, does it also appear when you use the appimage?
Which email provider do you use?
I will do it again outside docker. Note that I stop and kill the container and then create it again and restart the build process to avoid any potential residual issues. I did not package the app inside or outside the docker environment.
My e-mail provider is 1and1.com and it seems to work on my multiple phones and tablet.
Is it possible that DC needs some library module that I have not available in my docker container or on my computer? Usually I would run ‘ldd nameofsoftware’ but since DC is started. It is not possible to do ‘ldd npm start – --no-sandbox’. Is there any way to answer the question on other libraries?
By the way, I just noticed that the version I checked out most recently from the git archive, 1.14.1 uses deltachat core version 1.50.0 and sqlite version 3.33.0 when I open the About Delta Chat window. Does it sound correct that the desktop version 1.14.1 should be using a later version of the core?
If not, I am not sure how to correct this since I started with a new container when building 1.14.1.
