Hi dimd,
Would you be able to share what you did exactly ? As our app is working perfectly except on android 6.x.
We are not sure to understand the recipe you are talking ?
Hey nmichaud,
Everything is in the thread really. Could you fix your problem ?
d.
@dimd, We did find the problem and it was not related to yours. It was in Corona and the fix will soon be available.
With this setup : (same device)
Corona Version 2016.2874 (2016.5.4)
Android 5.1.1
Cyanogen OS 12.1.1
Everything works normally, as expected.
So it seems to confirm that the issue is related to the update of Android.
Corona staff, do you need a bug on this or are you already on it?
FYI, Corona has a general rule that they don’t support jailbroken or modded/rooted OSes, so this issue most likely won’t get much traction. If you can demonstrate the behavior on a non-rooted Android device, then that would be something that could be addressed.
I don’t know if we have a bug report on this or not, but as Alex stated, try your app on a non-jailbroken phone and if you have issues on a stock ROM, then we can see about getting a bug report or I can look then. But on rooted devices, you’re on your own.
Rob
Hello Alex & Rob,
I went and bought a new device (Nexus 5x), using original android 6.0.1
Same exact behavior happens, it is not related to Cyanogen.
Rob, could you look into it? It is 100% repro.
Dim
Do you have a sample app that demonstrates the issue?
Hello Rob,
I tested with the GPS app from the sample code, and everything seems fine, so I may be wrong about the origin of the problem.
I am going to try to create a sample app to pinpoint the real problem.
In the meantime, here is the logcat, if it can help you to point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Dim

Rob
LG Nexus 5x, android 6.0.1
It works in the simulator, only crashes on device.
Dim
What version of Corona SDK are you using?
I was on Corona Version 2016.2874, and i just tried with Corona Version 2016.2879. Same behavior.
This sounds like a bug in the new Android 6 permission system. The engineers are going to want a bug report. If you could make a simple project that demonstrates the problem, then you can use the “Report a bug” feature at the top.
The bug report must have a main.lua, config.lua and build.settings and any other assets that we need to build and run the app on the device. Put that in a .zip file and submit the forum. It’s helpful to post the URL of this thread in the bug report so the Engineer can have a reference to what’s been discussed so far. If the submission was successful, you will get an email with a CaseID # in the subject. Please post that number back here, so if we need to look into the bug report we will know which one to look at.
Thanks
Rob
Done.

Hey Rob,
It’s been a couple weeks and I haven’t heard back from the dev team.
Over 15% of my users are now on Android 6+, it is starting to become a major issue (especially because it fails very inelegantly), would you know if there is anything new on the subject? Is there a way to track the status of the bugs submitted?
Thanks,
Dim
I have to look them up. I’ll see what I can find.
Rob
Are you requesting permissions to access location services? See:
https://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/library/native/showPopup.html#requestapppermission
With Android 6 before you can use the GPS you have to request permission for it. You put permissions in build.settings for Android 5 and earlier. There are also entries in system.getInfo() that lets you get a list of granted permissions that you would check to see if you need to ask or not.
Rob
Hello Rob,
No, i didn’t request those permissions, indeed it is related. Thanks for the information, I did not know that it was necessary for android 6+.
I do now though, but i still can’t get it to work, i get this in the logcat :
06-06 20:22:57.550: I/Corona(17951): ERROR: --appname-- tried to request access to a permission group without having any permissions from that group in build.settings/AndroidManifest.xml!
06-06 20:22:57.550: I/Corona(17951): Before requesting access, please add a permission from the android.permission-group.LOCATION permission group!
My code is :
local options = { appPermission = "Location", --appPermission = "android.permission-group.LOCATION", urgency = "Normal", listener = appPermissionsListener, rationaleTitle = "Location", rationaleDescription = "Location access is required to access this feature. Re-request now?", settingsRedirectTitle = "Location", settingsRedirectDescription = "Without the ability to locate this device, this feature cannot properly function. Please grant GPS access within the Settings of your device." } native.showPopup( "requestAppPermission", options )
I tried both [appPermission = “Location”] and [appPermission = “android.permission-group.LOCATION”] without success for either.
And here is the relevant informations of my build.settings :
usesPermissions = { --\*\* LOCATION -- Permission to access the GPS. "android.permission.ACCESS\_FINE\_LOCATION", -- Permission to retrieve current location from WiFi or cellular service. "android.permission.ACCESS\_COARSE\_LOCATION",
Any idea of what I am missing?
Cheers,
Dim
I would recommend looking at our GPS sample app or the mapView sample app and see how they code up the permissions.
