Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:36 gk]:
 > FWIW: I built an .apk with the patches I used for testing on top of the
 #28802 patch to check for bridge support. I did not get it working so far
 (while bridges seem to work without the changes in this bug). I'll dig
 deeper while reviewing.

 Okay, `obfs4` has been failing as the bridge seems unreachable. Some
 `obfs3` bridges worked, though. Fun bugs I found while testing are (for
 each one start with a clean new installation:

 A)

 1) Select a built-in bridge
 2) Close Tor Browser
 3) Start again
 4) Click onto the gear icon
 5) Bridge usage is selected and it's said you are using a default bridge
 6) Tap on the "Change"-link -> bridge panel opens but now nothing is
 selected

 B)

 1) Select a built-in bridge by opening the gear icon and tapping on the
 switch
 UI and choosing e.g. obfs4
 2) Click again on the gear icon
 3) Tapping on the switch UI does *only* change the UI it seems but does
 not close
 the current UI nor opens the bridge selection one (while this happened in
 step 1) )
 4) However, tapping the region "around" the switch UI does disable bridge
 selection

 (Thus, the switch UI is behaving inconsistenly)

 C)

 1) Enable bridges
 2) Go back quickly so that available default bridge options are not shown
 yet
 3) repeat step 1) + 2)
 4) App crashes
