Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I'm making an educated guess that your setup must be already logged in and taking your data cookie to confirm you're 18+..
I don't really fully know though 🤷
This would be wrong. When I clicked the link I got an in-app firefox window asking for age verification.
Okay. Well please explain why Jerboa is trying to force the link into WPS Office, when it's not the default app for anything to begin with?
WPS isn't my default app for anything, Fennec is my default browser. But it appears to me that Jerboa just blindly sees PDF in the URL and automatically jumps to the last registered PDF specific app, without even asking the user what app to open the link with.
Have you checked WPS Office settings? Maybe there's something there.
I'm starting to better narrow down the source of the issue, and it really does somehow seem to be on the Jerboa side.
My default browser, Fennec, is configured to ask every time what app to load random links in, but when a PDF link is passed onto Fennec from Jerboa, it's totally skipping that prompt to ask what app to even use.
Yeah I get that's not an exact answer or solution, that's just my current findings. Fennec is set to ask which app every time, but when Jerboa tries to load a tapped link, apparently it's ignoring the ask which app setting..
Yes I did, and WPS Office isn't configured as default app for anything.
Note that today I'm gonna be on my phone for much of the day, my initial post was from my tablet, so my results and findings could possibly be different here, but I'll duly note anything here and double check both on my phone and tablet once I get back home.
