Air SDK 20 app crashes on Android 6

Report · Feb 17, 2016

Hi,

I have an app that is built and linked against Air SDK 20. It works on Anrdoid 4.2.2, 5.1.1, but on 6.0 crashes on start.

I just see how it opens the window, the client code is not executed yet as I think.

The debugger out is really short:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Adobe fdb (Flash Player Debugger) [build development]

Waiting for Player to connect

Player connected; session starting.

Player session terminated <-- crash

-----------------------------------------------------------

The example is available here http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=g859d0aef5479c5a7999789062dd3783334c895c10

The .apk is under ./target subfolder of package root.

We have the same issue with Nexus 9 running Android 6.0 and AIR 20.0.0.233
Any ideas how to fix?

Have anyone succeed in running Flex App build with AIR 20 SDK on Android 6.0 ?

Hi,

Thanks for the report.

We tried reproducing the issue at our end as well with the attached .apk in the project given by you.

Crash was reproducible on Nexus 9 (Android 6.0) but was not reproducible with on Nexus 5 (Android 6.0).

Moreover, with the help of project provided by you above, we created a flash builder project and were not able to reproduce the issue on Android 6 (Nexus 9 and Nexus 5 both). AIR SDK used 20.0.0.233.

Kindly refer the attached project for reference. Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tmh16esgd43wt50/FlexCrashOnAIR20.fxp?dl=0

Please try reproducing the issue at your end with the above project and let us know in case you face any problem.

Yes it crashes on Nexus 9 on Android 6.0.1 (before update it was 6.0) with AIR 20.0.0.233.

I use maven, flexmojos plugin and adt to compile the app and build package. I think that the compiler config is essential in this case.

You can also find it in .zip file http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=g859d0aef5479c5a7999789062dd3783334c895c10 under the /target directory (example-apk-release-configs.xml). Unfortunately, I have no flash builder, but I'll download trial to try to build the app.

Hi,

The app you provided and built via Flash Builder 4.7 works fine.

I can't find the compiler-config.xml generated by flash builder. Where can I find it?

I use the compiler config available in Flex SDK (<SDK_ROOT>/frameworks/airmobile-config.xml). To create .apk I use the adt tool.

Hi 4xyfenix‌

If you want to dump the config xml generated by the Flash Builder. Please follow the following steps:

In Flash Builder, select Project > Properties > Flex Compiler
In Additional Compiler Arguments, specify the following argument:-dump-config pathname, where pathname specifies the absolute path to a file on your system.

I think this will help you: Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 * Build projects

Hi again,

Eventually, I found out that the problem is in the way the .apk is built. Unfortunately, I still don't realize what the exact reason of .apk crash is.

I took the .swf file produced by Flash Builder and packed it as I do when pack my app by using ADT:

adt -package -target apk -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ./cert.p12 -storepass password ./target/example-apk-release.apk ./target/classes/example-app.xml -C ./target example-apk-release.swf -C ./target/classes icons

The .apk I get crashes on Android 6.0.1. So, It seems to produce the issue it's just needed to pack arbitrary .swf application via ADT as specified above.
