The issue is that authentication fails for the endpoint used to fetch solving steps for text problems. This only affects text problems (you can still see solving steps for equations without a problem, both when scanning and in the book section of the app). I'll see if there's anything that can be done about it, but I wouldn't get my hopes too high.

(so the issue description is not entirely correct, patched app works perfectly fine for non-text math problems)

Thanks for the correction. Yes, it works with equations but the text.

Additionally, the end point for this feature requires authentication. So even if this was allowed for feature contribution, a patch is unlikely to ever provide this.
