Hey, @JustGidman @TreyFlamezZ 

Thanks for the tag on this. It looks like it's indeed on the team's radar and they're aiming to address it in the near future. 🙂

    I’m having the same issue. Would like to play with my wife who uses Android, I’m on iOS. Game version is 1.32.11

    Please fix this issue!

    Do you know if the person playing on the Android version has a higher game version than the iOS user? It looks like if they are not on the same version or if the Android version is higher that could cause compatibility issues.

    1.32.11 is still the most current version on the App Store (which seems strange - if anything would have expected Android version to lag behind iOS).

    That said, if you check the version history you can see updates are increasingly infrequent. 11 updates the year of release, 7 in year two, 5 in year three but only 1 last year.

    @EA_Blueberry - any updates from the team on on this? Back in November they were looking to address the issue in the "near future".

    As an alternative, is it possible to make an older Android version available as a work around to the conflict?

    Not seeing an option to download older versions from the Google Play Store.

    Thank you for the info and you're right in that there isn't a way to download an older version. We'll raise this up to the team to let them know there are impacted users out there, however in terms of any updates I'm afraid there are none to share at this moment. When we find out more about this we'll update this post. 

    Tagging in @EA_Arrenai for visibility.
