3M Cloud problems: New Nexus 7, Android 4.3

[seaneads]

3M will no longer function in the newest version of the Nexus 7 or any tablet running Android 4.3, which I guess must be the latest update.

The app may or may not manage to install on these devices, and you may or may not even be able to hunt for a book. But when it comes time for 3M to open the book, the patron is rewarded with a black screen.

Android 4.3 was made available to Nexus 7 on July 24th, and it will be in use soon with the Samsung Galaxy 4. My guess is these unlucky users will find their 3M apps worthless when the update happens.

Just passing this info along--there's not a single thing we can do about it. I'm going to email 3M just to see if they're working on an update to their app.

Just had this come up and then logged on and you had it listed;-)

3M and or Nexus is aware of this issue with the update corrupting the 3M app and are working on it. This is from the 3M website:

3M Cloud Library News & Updates

The update to 4.3 Android caused an issue in the 3M Cloud Library app. Books cannot be opened without crashing the app. 3M Cloud Library's support staff is working to fix this. We will post to the Message Center when this is resolved (find Message Center on the My Books screen of the app). Mostly this is affecting Nexus devices, as they receive updates before other Android devices.
Here is a workaround until this is fixed. This involves transferring the ebook from your computer to a storage folder on your Nexus, and using a different reading app to open the book.

There is a very convoluted workaround and if anyone is interested in using this workaround the link to the instructions for it is:

So hopefully this will be fixed soon. It has been and issue since 7/31 apparently so it should be fixed fairly soon.....
