Privacy Pass (Kagi Android App) Not Working on My Xperia 10 III (Sailfish 5.0.0.62)

Dear Community,

I’m trying to set up Privacy Pass in the Kagi app, but I’m running into a problem. I’m using an Xperia 10 III with Sailfish 5.0.0.62.

The instructions say to “long press” the Kagi app icon on the homescreen. Unfortunately, Sailfish OS doesn’t seem to do the same kind of long press as Android. Just tapping the icon opens the app.

I’m using the latest version of the Kagi app (0.29+). Does anyone know if there’s a way to get Privacy Pass working on Sailfish OS, or if there are plans to add support for long pressing on the homescreen “Android” app?

Any ideas would be awesome!

Cheers,
Steff

Are you sure you are not XY-ing this problem? I.e. are you just after the app settings, or do actually need long-press?

Do you have a link to said instructions?

Up until now i had no idea this app existed - and i suspect barely anyone did, especially not here. Questions about niche Android apps often go nowhere since they start out assuming people know what it is.

Kagi Android App

To use Privacy Pass in the Kagi app for Android, ensure you have version 0.29 or later. Then follow these steps:

  1. First, make sure you’re logged into your Kagi account, this is needed to generate Privacy Pass tokens.
  2. From your homescreen, tap and hold the Kagi app icon.
  3. Select Privacy Pass.
  4. To add the Privacy Pass shortcut to your home screen, press and hold the Privacy Pass option.

I need to long press the app icon on the homescreen. However, I am sure that other Android apps also use the long press on the home screen for some functions.

Ah, shoddy web design. The instruction was behind a “Hide details”, which didn’t really look clickable, and unsearchable.

Well; this is the first time i hear about it, that’s for sure.

A possible workaround would be to figure out what “intent” that long-press menu action corresponds to.

I.e. Spotify (normal operation) is launched with
apkd-launcher -i defaultuser com.spotify.music.apk com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.MainActivity

(Found in .local/share/applications/apkd_launcher_com_spotify_music-com_spotify_music_MainActivity.desktop)

So presumably; some other action would look like
apkd-launcher -i defaultuser com.spotify.music.apk com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.SomeOtherAction

Okay, understand. Thanks for the hint. But I’ve no idea how to find out how the otherAction is named.
