The problem still continues. Is there a plan to make a fix for this? |

There is not, but we'd love if someone wants to contribute code to make it work. |

Fix time zone being ignored on Android, incorrectly outputting UTC timestamps. This more recent version of `chrono` extracts timezone info from a tzdata file on Android. This issue is recognized in `chrono`'s issue tracker: chronotope/chrono#922

Unfortunately it seems like #756 did not fix timezone determination on Android - UTC is being returned instead.
Part of the problem might be the leading space in the filename:
https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/pull/756/files#diff-568a8cdf0e0b7a4922b13d27771df35ac8e561ac9f25c5229263120edc171486R100
A bigger problem though is that individual files don't appear to be available -
/system/usr/share/zoneinfoappears to have all data packed into a binary tzdata file, so Chrono will presumably need to be able to parse it. Some Googling reveals the format: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/libcore/+/jb-mr2-release/luni/src/main/java/libcore/util/ZoneInfoDB.java#38, https://go.dev/src/time/zoneinfo_android.goThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
