Air for Android text relocation error

[maartenl35691247]

Hello,

I got a message from Google about my Air for Android app in the Google Play Store:

Observed Results:

          The app crashes.

Possible Root Cause:

          You app will stop working in an upcoming release of Android because the native library libCore.so modifies its executable code.

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.

Please refer to:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/android-changes-for-ndk-developers.md#text...

Any ideas on what can be causing those text relocations? Other developers having the same issues?

This app is using the AIR 30 SDK.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am facing the same issue. Crash rate has risen from 1% to 2.5% and I got this message too. App is released with Air 31 and targets Android SDK 26.

Do you use any ANEs in your app?

Yes I use the Milkman Storekit ANE, and some other Milkman ANE's in other apps.

FYI we to this message from Google Pre-release of the new Android. So before beta.

Here is the log of the error:

It seems to be an issue with Air since we also cross checked it with other air applications.

Is there any news on this. I did not get this message from Google, but it seems like this is going to be a major issue.

No news at all, I haven't found a solution yet.
