KDEConnect is crashing on Android, How do I properly report this?

It looks like other users have already reported this.

I’m on android 14, and running KDEConnect from play store (v1.31.4).
App crashes when you open it.

How would I go about reporting this to the devs? On Android I mean. What steps would I need to take to get the proper info to turn into the bug tracker? Is there an article someone can point me to?

KDE Connect is at 1.32.2 on my phone using Android 14.

perhaps Log in to KDE Bugtracking System (this is the web that opens from my Android phone KDE Connect ‘Menu>about>Report_Bug’.

It has already been fixed, but we are waiting for the Google Play store release process to complete:

KDE Connect is at 1.32.4 using Android 14. Doesn’t start. Using Local Send for file and folder transfers.

Current work around:

Turn off Wifi
Open the plugin settings in KDE Connect
Disable “Receive Remote Keypresses”
Restart the app.

Or you can just install an older version.
