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.
