"Your app major version is not compatible with the server!"

I just recently spun up Immich on an Ubuntu server.

I have been using the Android app for a bit without issue.

But I got my wife setup with the Android app, and I uploaded some photos with it and put them into a new album. I added her as a user to the album. But when she went to find it so she could contribute photos to it, it wasn't in her list, shared or otherwise.

I intended to try logging her out of the app and logging back in. But upon login, it wouldn't accept her credentials. So on a PC I logged into an admin account and reset her password. But it still wouldn't authenticate her.

I killed the app, deleted cache and storage and started from scratch. Still no dice.

So I uninstalled/reinstalled the app. That's when I got the message in the attached image.

This got me thinking that there was a version mismatch between server and app. Turns out there was. I had started working on the server a month or so ago. So I was on 2.1.0.

BTW at this point I checked her account on a PC via web, and in that interface the shared folder did show.

Both our phones had 2.2.3 from the onset AFAIK and it worked, save for problems with the shared albums and logging out/logging in. I've been too afraid to log out on my Android phone.

So I upgraded the server to 2.2.3. But my wife's phone is stil getting "Your app major version is not compatible with the server!" even after deleting cache/storage again.

Is there some other step I have to take after performing the server upgrade to make the Android app play nice with it?

And I don't know if the shared album issue was separate?
