Game crashes on user's devices (SOLVED)

Dragosha · November 18, 2018, 5:59pm

Hmm, I remembered that this bug was fixed, but there is again null pointer in iap module:
java.lang.NullPointerException
com.defold.iap.IapGooglePlayActivity.onCreate

Yes, that issue should be fixed in the next release (1.2.142) (DEF-3585)

britzl · November 19, 2018, 2:09pm

Released in 1.2.142

I have the same crashes in the game without NEs (Solitaire)

britzl · January 3, 2019, 10:12pm

I don’t have source code access at the moment but @Johan_Beck-Noren should be able to check tomorrow what changes (if any) could cause this problem.

Anything in particular about the devices? Android OS versions?

AGulev · January 4, 2019, 9:29am

In my both my cases it was Android 6.0 (ZTE BLADE V7 (P653A10) and Cubot MAX (x6069_cubot_5365u))

UPD:
Looks like android 6 can’t find libname path for some reason https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-cts-6.0_r32/core/java/android/app/NativeActivity.java#170

britzl · January 7, 2019, 5:40am

Thanks. Added DEF-3688 to our sprint planning today.

Dragosha · January 8, 2019, 8:02am

Hmm, strange crash is catched

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
com.dynamo.android.DefoldActivity$1.run
in Google Play Services, but game don not use gms extension.

Also, what is “ProGuard deobfuscation file”? Is it possible to build this one with Defold?

britzl · January 8, 2019, 8:12am

We get advertising info at start on Android so that we can populate some of the fields in sys.get_sys_info(). The code looks like this:

    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            try {
                AdvertisingIdClient.Info info = AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo(self);
                self.setAdInfo(info.getId(), info.isLimitAdTrackingEnabled());
            } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
                self.setAdInfo("", false);
            } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
                self.setAdInfo("", false);
            } catch (GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) {
                self.setAdInfo("", false);
            }
        }
    }).start();

It seems like it’s crashing somewhere inside the GPS code. We should probably do a generic try-catch just to make sure we catch everything. Created DEF-3692.

ProGuard is a tool for obfuscating and/or minimising Java code. We do not use it but it’s in our roadmap to add support for it (or the new R8 tool from Google) to reduce APK size.

Johan_Beck-Noren · January 9, 2019, 10:26am

After some investigation this is probably caused by the device looking for a (non-existent) 64-bit engine lib in the APK. Looking at the chipsets on affected devices, they should support the lib we currently ship (armeabi-v7a) but for some reason they don’t.

Instead of digging more into this specific issue we decided to start work on DEF-3459 adding Android 64-bit support. It’s on our roadmap for 2019 and is due anyway. Once in place, it should solve the issue in this thread as well.

britzl · January 21, 2019, 3:12pm

Solved in 1.2.145

AGulev · May 13, 2019, 2:20pm

Solved in 1.2.153

Should work fine in 1.2.153 (if you include Android 64bit)

Dragosha · May 16, 2019, 12:48pm

I just uploaded a new build (made bundle in 1.2.154, 32 and 64-bit) into the Google Store, so, will collect a new statistic.

Dragosha · June 1, 2019, 12:26pm

Found new crash reports in Google Console for this build. May be interesting:

As I understand 4.2 Android (17 SDK) should work, what can be wrong?
Previosly I bundled with 14 minimum SDK.

Mathias_Westerdahl · September 19, 2019, 3:17pm

Does it say what class it cannot load?

Dragosha · September 19, 2019, 3:19pm

Google console? nope, it doesn’t show this important info.

britzl · September 19, 2019, 4:05pm

We will investigate and see if we see similar issues in King games. @AGulev have you seen this in your games?
