Octo4a Installation Issue: "invalid GMT offset" Error Prevents OctoPrint from Starting

[javi-1111]

Hi everyone,

I recently installed Octo4a on my Android device, but I'm encountering an issue where the OctoPrint server fails to start. The installation process seems to go smoothly, but the final step throws a RuntimeError: invalid GMT offset, and OctoPrint doesn't launch.

Here is the relevant section from the installation log:

I've already checked my device's date and time settings and ensured that they are set to automatic. I've also tried setting the time zone manually, but the problem persists.

Could this be an issue with how Octo4a handles the time zone settings, or is there something else I'm missing? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Have you found a solution? Try to install today and get the same error. Tried older version and latest but its the same. I even try to set the time zone manually on phone but did not help.

Have anyone found a solution or what is causing the error?
