candidate versions found which didn't match: 1.4.1, 1.4.0, 1.3.2, ...
location searched:  index (which is replacing registry crates-io)
required by package perhaps a crate was updated and forgotten to be re-vendored?

Hm that’s odd. Could you post your entire Cargo.toml here as well as the complete error message? Sometimes cargo gives a deeper explanation. Thanks:)

[Jhonfunk]

Everything is fine now, it seems that the mirrors just weren't updated at the time.

Phew :)

Is there an apk file from the blog post somewhere?

[ogoffart]

Our nightly build builds the apk.
This is the link to the one from the 1.5.1 release: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/actions/runs/8355777596
If you scroll down to "Artifacts", you can download android-demo.zip that contains the apk for the energy-monitor (the one from the blog post) and the todo example.
(you need to be logged in github)

Hello @ogoffart
first of all thank you for the amazing project!
I have one Problem on Android. The scrolling doesn't behave natively. It stops immediately after lifting the finger from the screen. I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro.
