P: (Android) Masking of Subject or Sky Error Message "Something wrong"

Similar cases have been reported below

I updated to the new Lightroom mobile for android.

A red error message "Something went wrong"  occurs when performing the new masking function, sky or subject selection

 

My device is a Samsung Galaxy Fold (SM-F907N)

Setting status to investigating

Please verify your device meets the necessary system specifications: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/system-requirements.html

 

Note:
 

Certain features like Select Subject and Select Sky in Masking are supported only on Android devices with more than 6 GB RAM. Technology Previews (features that may not be completely production-ready yet but available to try out) are allowed on devices having between 4 GB and 6 GB RAM, but you could experience an occasional crash under memory pressure. On devices with less than 4 GB RAM, these features are unavailable.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 with 8GB of RAM and my problem is it won't download the Subject nor Sky components for masking. Clicking on "Download" for either does nothing.

Mine also won't work 50-75% of the time. I have LRC V11 on a PC. When I click "select subject," at least half the time it says "something went wrong." The icon in the bottom right then continues to spin and no other work can be completed until I close the program and restart.

Hallo, ich verwende ein Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, neueste Updates sind drauf. Bei Verwendung von LR Mobile funktioniert alles wie gewohnt, nur das maskieren nicht . LR versucht zu maskieren und stürzt dann ab. Verläufe und pinsel funktionieren. Neuinstallation der App wurde auch schon gemacht. Brauche Hilfe.
