OsmAnd~: OsmAnd cloud backup does not work despite mentioned otherwise by upstream.

Ahoj,

I report this issue here to f-droid since the OsmAnd people ↗ told me here that they are not responsible for f-droid builds.

The original issue is ↗ this one. It is:

Starting with OsmAnd 4.5, basic OsmAnd cloud backup should be available for anyone without subscription, see e.g. ↗ here.

But it does not work for OsmAnd~ from f-droid:

  1. I have installed OsmAnd~ version 4.5.8.
  2. I registered a completely new OsmAnd cloud account from within that OsmAnd installation.
  3. I have configured OsmAnd to backup only Settings.
  4. When I want to sync, it fails with a popup "No valid subscription present" and the text

    Expired subscription
    Your OsmAnd Pro subscription is expired,
    renew it to use backup. You can still restore
    data from the Cloud.

  5. I retried by making sure that only "Settings" → "Profiles" and "Settings" → "OsmAnd Settings" are to be backed up, which do not require OsmAnd Pro/ a subscription. Same problem, cannot backup, get "Expired subscription"-note, even after a logout and re-login.

Below screenshots of the message and configuration.

Regards!
