### 1/5 — Scanning app can't scan

*2026-03-22*

Scanner runs, loading bar flashes, nothing happens in app. Can't do much with a scanning app that cannot scan.

**Developer response:** Can you send me the debug logs from the app? Either to contact@wehrfritz.me or via GitHub Issues (leoklaus/openairscan).
