Hi everyone!
I developed some apps a while ago with Defold. I wonder if there is anything new with Android 11? My apps suddenly crash with Android 11 at soon as I click the app icon. Android 10 and iOS versions are working normally.
Any help would be appreciate!!
Thanks so much.
Hi @hungle !
Have you checked the output in the adb logcat.
I expect there to be some details about your crash.

Hi!
Thanks for helping me!
It’s strange that when I install the app directly from the .apk bundle file, it started normally on the emulator. However, install the same .apk from Play Store, it crashes at open.
With adb logcat, I only see this error (but the app run normally):
E defold : ERROR:PROFILER: Could not open /proc/stat
I’m not sure what happened, is there anything clue?
That’s not a fatal error.
Don’t use “-s Defold” with adb, it will only list lines with the word Defold in it.
Instead make sure to use the full log:
adb logcat
I think it is this section of the log that indicate the app dies?
(I have no idea how to read it though)

Yes sure. I changed the names of the apps to “app1” and “app2”. App 1 was failing too but I just check now then it works. App 2 is still crashing at open.
It’s a long log (I don’t know what to cut off) so I put it in the text file, I hope you don’t mind.

You can clear the entire log first by calling:
adb logcat -c
Then run as usual:
adb logcat
The documentation for logcat is found online:
Thanks. Here’s what I did:

This tells me that DefoldActivity is about to be launched. A few lines later I see:

With the process id known I can easily follow the log until I find the last few log entries mentioning 10702:

This tells us that something shut down the app “APP_CMD_TERM_WINDOW”, “destroy_gl_surface” etc. The error is somewhere above this. It’s about 600 lines of logs from the first to the last line so it’s doable to look through it in search of clues.
There is however nothing really obvious standing out in between the app starting until it shuts down. Can you please share some more info about your project. Are you using any extensions?

I do use monarch, orthographic, and defglot plugins.
There are nothing special about the apps, they are quite simple apps.
I re-bundle the apps with the latest version of Defold and upload the new .apk files to Play Store with no adjustment (beside changing the Android version code), and to my surprise they seems to be working again.
Thanks so much for the extensive help! (As always 
)
Huh, strange! Good that it works, but annoying that we don’t really know why!
