All AIR apps crash on Android Q !

It has been signaled before by some devs that they have got emails from Google stating their games no longer work on the upcoming version of Android.

With the explanation from Google:

"Possible Root Cause: Starting with API 23, shared objects must not contain text relocations. That is, the code must be loaded as is and must not be modified. Such an approach reduces load time and improves security. We haven't supported text relocations since API 23, and we are now moving to enforce this via SELinux."

(see this bug report:  https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/AIR-4198749

or this forum post: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2558904 )

Last night the first beta of Android Q was released so I installed it.

And what I feared is true: all my AIR apps and all AIR games by others that I know crash immediatly at startup...

(note: for the moment you can only install the Android Q beta on Google Pixel phones)

Help Adobe Air team!

Yes this is urgent, we receive the same reports from the first users who installed the beta and our games crash immediately. We ordered a test device now but I assume this must be fixed by Adobe and we can not do anything about it.
