Crash on android

Questions
1

The last build of my game crashed on Android, for the first time in more than a years…

It is a “release” bundle. Has Defold created a crash file? May I find it on the device somewhere?

Thanks!

You could either look in the logcat to see if you find anything useful (messages and/or a callstack).

It should also have written a _crash file, which you should be able to retrieve by using these instructions (modify the package names accordingly):

Thanks for the reply!

Is a release build debuggable? Anyway, have I to replace “com.defold.example” with “jackRedrum” given that the apk file is “jackRedrum.apk”?

$ adb shell “run-as com.defold.example sh -c ‘cat /data/data/com.defold.example/files/_crash’” > ./_crash

If I do so, I get “unknown package” from adb.

I apologize for the really basic questions…

Thanks!

This is the (example) package, and you’ll have something similar in your game.project, under the Android settings.

No, the release build isn’t debuggable by default.

Either bundle a debug build (easiest) or set the android.debuggablein the game project settings.

Thanks! Indeed now adb says “package not debuggable”…

I am just curious… while the default setting for this is “com.example.todo”? Can I change this as I prefer?

Thanks again!

Yes, you can change that.

I have another question, sorry! I built the game with debug and I get the following output via logcat. However the game is running fine.

Why these WARNINGs and the ERROR? May I safely ignore them?

Thanks!
