Environment:
- Mac: macOS, Codex Desktop 26.519.41501
- Host: Mac-mini-Andrej.local
- Android: Android 16, SM-S906E
- iOS: iOS 18.7.8 iPhone
- Same ChatGPT account on Android and iOS
Issue:
Codex remote on Android shows only 2 chats and not all projects. The same Mac host opened from iPhone shows all 4 active chats correctly.
Expected:
Android Codex remote should show the same projects and active chats as iOS for the same Mac host.
Actual:
Android shows a stale/partial list: only 2 chats. One of them is an archived/old chat. iPhone shows the correct 4 active chats.
Troubleshooting done:
- Updated ChatGPT app and Codex Desktop to latest versions.
- Force stopped ChatGPT Android.
- Cleared Android app cache.
- Cleared Android app data.
- Logged in again.
- Revoked Android device access from Codex Desktop.
- Reconnected Android to Mac host.
- Restarted Codex Desktop.
- Verified Mac local state: 4 active threads exist and iOS sees them.
Evidence:
- iPhone sees all 4 active chats from Mac-mini-Andrej.local.
- Android sees only 2 chats from the same host/account.
- Codex Desktop state contains 4 active threads.
- Android had multiple duplicate device entries before revoking access.
Request:
Please investigate Android Codex remote cache/session sync. It appears Android is using stale sidebar/thread/project state while iOS receives the current state from the same Mac host.
