[sword-devel] Ezra Project 0.17.0-Beta3 - First working test candidate on Android

[Tobias Klein]

Hi Troy,

Would you mind trying once more with the latest version (Beta 5), which 
is available in the App Store now.
I made some fixes, but I am still not sure whether it will work on your 
device. In case there are issues I'd be interested in the adb debug log 
mentioned below.

Best regards,
Tobias
