Android Build Crashes on device now when testing, previously worked ok

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello,

 

Please can any one help me, I’m at a complete loss and need some help urgently?

I’m desperate to find a solution to this problem that has me completely stumped.

My app is now complete and previously I have been able to test the App on the device in question and now the only aspect I need to test is In-App purchases before launching the game.

 

The device in question that I have been using is a Samsung Galaxy S6, the app was coded using the latest version Corona SDK, Lua Glider, Java Dev Kit 8.

What happens is I build the app without any error messages using a distribution store key and then copy the file across to the device and install, on launching the device the app seems to imediatly freeze and nothing else happens, no images load, no sound files or new scenes etc.

 

I have tried building the app with a debug key rather then distribution and I got the same result and I have also submitted the app to be approved for alpha testing and it failed due to this same problem. I don’t believe it the signing of the app when building it however I could be wrong. Not a lot has changed since the previous version was loaded onto the device and tested, however I did retrace my steps to make sure the fault didn’t lye there but with no luck.

 

I have tried removing plugins incase recent changes to them was causing the error but this also was no good. My knowledge for Android is a little limited as this is my first app game for both Android and IOS. Since all else failed I have downloaded Android Studio and monitored the log report in the monitor section to try and get an idea at what might be causing the problem, however looking at the log, some I understand and I can’t see any problem and the rest is beyond me at this stage and I could do with help understanding it as it hopefully holds the answer I’m looking for:

Sorry for the indent, it doesn’t seem to like it much when I encase it in the code box, hope it still makes sense.

Many thanks

  1. Your application table need to be move to a file called config.lua

  2. How are you testing this? I see your using expansion files

#5

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the msg.
For testing I’ve tried transfereing the newly compiled build, apk directly to the device by using a usb wire and then connecting the phone to my mac and using android file transfer, once on the phone I’ve clicked on the apk and installed the app, i’ve also tried uploading the apk to alpha testing on the android development console and then selecting publish for a closed alpha test which was then declined due to the problems I’m currently having with the app on the device, where the app seems to freeze or crash immediately on launch, not even the initial logo loads. The app is about 200 mb so unfortunately I found out the hard way that the app needs to use expansion files to upload it to google play through the android development console as the max size a app/ apk can be without expansion files is 100 mb. Any ideas what it might be? I can try moving the applications section currently in build settings if you think it may help, though the last build  did previously work even though I had applications in the build settings. I completely stumped as to what I’ve missed or what not working. I’m just hoping maybe the answer in the monitor log above but I can’t really tell by looking at it. What your thoughts on what it could be?

Many thanks

Kind Regards

Liam

#6

Are you uploading expansion files when you are doing alpha testing on Google play?

#7

Hi Scott,

Sorry I didn’t get that, pls could you send again/ revise?
Sorry to be a pain.

Kind Regards

Liam

#8

Sorry about that, updated my post above

#9

Lol thanks scott, glad its not just me that does that.

Yeah I kept all the settings and sign off the same with the upload to the alpha testing as I did when I did the inital apk uploaded to the android dev console for it to eventually go on the store. I also tried both debug and the release build settings when directly transfereing the apk to the device. Does that sound correct?

Kind Regards

Liam

#10

I am just wondering if you are unloading your expansion files to google play for testing

I recommend this tutorial

http://thatssopanda.com/corona-sdk-tutorials/using-expansion-files-with-android-and-google-play/

#11

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the link it was of great help.

After playing around with the upload a bit I def think its a problem with linking the two separate files.

When I changed extended files to false and then built the app on debug mode and but it on the device the app works fine.

However when I build for release and upload it to the android developer console it plays up again.

I have made sure to attach the extension file in the advance mode but this hasn’t helped.

I think the first time I uploaded the app I hadn’t attached the extension file, however hopefully that miner miss isn’t the cause to these further problems now as I’m not sure how I could resolve that.

There is one thing that comes back a lot shown in the screenshots from the pre-launch report you can do when you submit your app to the store. On each of the device there was download error not market managed and then a second screen shot that said restart download and 0.00 / 0 mb?

Not sure what that means but definitely looks like a problem linking up the two files.

Not sure how I can resolve this as it does seem to me to be a linking problem?

Kind Regards

Liam

Sorry for the indent, it doesn’t seem to like it much when I encase it in the code box, hope it still makes sense.

Many thanks

  1. Your application table need to be move to a file called config.lua

  2. How are you testing this? I see your using expansion files

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the msg.
For testing I’ve tried transfereing the newly compiled build, apk directly to the device by using a usb wire and then connecting the phone to my mac and using android file transfer, once on the phone I’ve clicked on the apk and installed the app, i’ve also tried uploading the apk to alpha testing on the android development console and then selecting publish for a closed alpha test which was then declined due to the problems I’m currently having with the app on the device, where the app seems to freeze or crash immediately on launch, not even the initial logo loads. The app is about 200 mb so unfortunately I found out the hard way that the app needs to use expansion files to upload it to google play through the android development console as the max size a app/ apk can be without expansion files is 100 mb. Any ideas what it might be? I can try moving the applications section currently in build settings if you think it may help, though the last build  did previously work even though I had applications in the build settings. I completely stumped as to what I’ve missed or what not working. I’m just hoping maybe the answer in the monitor log above but I can’t really tell by looking at it. What your thoughts on what it could be?

Many thanks

Kind Regards

Liam

Are you uploading expansion files when you are doing alpha testing on Google play?

#17

Hi Scott,

Sorry I didn’t get that, pls could you send again/ revise?
Sorry to be a pain.

Kind Regards

Liam

#18

Sorry about that, updated my post above

#19

Lol thanks scott, glad its not just me that does that.

Yeah I kept all the settings and sign off the same with the upload to the alpha testing as I did when I did the inital apk uploaded to the android dev console for it to eventually go on the store. I also tried both debug and the release build settings when directly transfereing the apk to the device. Does that sound correct?

Kind Regards

Liam

I am just wondering if you are unloading your expansion files to google play for testing

I recommend this tutorial
