Product / vendor on mobile download

[Thomas Fänge]

Hi again,

Just to be sure that we talk about the same things ...

In issue #1403 Tobias mention that he no longer can download from his
Oceanic using OTG cable (as I read it, a physical cable between the phone
and DC, no BT). But, backing the app to the old version 4.7.4.280 it works
again. And I've seen other comments about this, ie. using pre 4.7.5
versions works with a OTG cable but after that it fails.

So, this functionality actually worked before 4.7.5 but was apparently
broken from that version. Or the old implementation was replaced by a new
which doesn't work for this use case.

Maybe I could use some days to look into the difference between 4.7.4.280
and the next release and try to understand what was changed between these
two releases in this area ... ;)

Best regards,
Thomas
