Bugs in Alby Hub on myNode

[artdesignbySF]

Describe the bug
Alby Hub ("version": "v1.17.2",) installed via marketplace, opens fine.

It shows sats that are on-chain and sats that are in lightning channels when tapping on "Node," however:

• It does not show already opened channels (opened via thunderhub and/or RTL over the years)
• When tapping on "Wallet," and moving to send or receive it does not load receive/send window (does not move beyond loading circle animation)
• Wallet says, "Open Your First Channel," while one would expect the hub should be able to use channels that were previously opened on myNode (via thunderhub/RTL/etc).

Expected behavior
See above.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Firefox
• 142.0.

MyNode hardware (please complete the following information):

• RPi4 *GB
• 0.3.38

Extra Info
I have ~18 active, public channels.
My myNode only runs over tor and i2p.

This could be due to the "user" nature of the app. Your user account within Alby may not have any channels, but the previous channels are understood by querying LND, which is why the node data is accurate. I don't currently think this is a bug, but just a quirk of the app and the way it manages things. It's not intended to be a Lightning Wallet in the same way RTL and Thunderhub are.

I don't have my user account coupled within the alby hub, at this time.
thunderhub works fine for me. One should think alby hub should work fine too, but it doesn't.

Maybe alby hub just doesn't populate channels which it was created before its installation. I got message alby has new version already again. Maybe @tehelsper possible to see it if works better. (I emailed you the Ablys' info mail.)

I just tested to update AlbyHub by setting Custom version number to v1.20.0 and it updated nicely.

@tehelsper might you have time to verify QA and provide update on coming releases?

(On Updates page on Albyhub there is mentioned Start9/Umbrel and https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-go - maybe one day there could be also MyNodeBTC?)

Version 1.20.0 installed and launched for me. Just added.
