Corona build 2532: Native crash at /system/lib/libhoudini.so

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I just published my app with new Corona build 2532,

and I started to get multiple crash reports from different users at

Native crash at /system/lib/libhoudini.so

This has never happened with Corona build 2511.

Hi @joe528,

We’ll need to begin with some further details. Your system/OS and version, where you’re testing (device? Simulator?), plugins you’re using, etc.

Thanks,

I cannot reproduce it because the crash reports are from Google Play Developer console.

In the crash reports, it seems all happened with Android 4.3 and the devices were ZenFone.

I searched a bit in Google earlier, there are other developers saying ZenFone crashes at libhoudini.so

So it seems Android fault and Android has fixed it after version 4.4

However, this crash was never seen before Corona build 2511. Therefore, I am wondering if Corona had somehow bypassed this Android bug and see if it’s possible to workaround in new Corona builds? If not, I think we will expect Android apps built with newer Corona versions will experience this crash for ZenFone users with Android 4.3 or earlier
