libcorona.so crash

mateusz8 · June 2, 2018, 8:28am

Hello,

I have released my app 2 months ago and since then I’m getting errors like this:

backtrace: #00 pc 0000000000246ee8 /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #01 pc 0000000000246ef5 /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #02 pc 0000000000246f47 /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #03 pc 000000000024666b /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #04 pc 0000000000245fe3 /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #05 pc 0000000000142cb0 /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #06 pc 0000000000141120 /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #07 pc 000000000008d440 /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/lib/arm/libcorona.so #08 pc 00000000008f149d /data/app/com.hawkgames.tapthemonster-1/oat/arm/base.odex

Does anyone know how to debug it? Is there a way to check what function is under 0x8f149d in base.odex or 0x246ee8 in libcorona.so?

Managed to get the function names from libcorona.so via addr2line:

\_\_gxx\_personality\_v0 \_\_gxx\_personality\_v0 \_\_gxx\_personality\_v0 operator delete[](void\*) sqrt(vlong, vlong) CoronaExternalFormatBPP CoronaExternalFormatBPP Java\_com\_ansca\_corona\_JavaToNativeShim\_nativeGetCoronaRuntime

What version of Corona are you building with?

Rob

3308

I’m a little confused. You say you released your app a couple of months ago, but 3308 has been out for about 5 days. So are you getting these errors with 3308 or an older version of Corona? When did you update your app? Are these errors recent with a version released with 3308?

I’m getting these errors in all of my apps and in all of CoronaSDK versions. All of them happen in the CoronaExternalFormatBPP function.

Can you use a service like pastebin.com and paste a complete backtrace for some of these crashes?

Crashlogs from APKs compiled with version 3319:

First game, only thing that differs is the address in the base.odex file:

Other crash - happens about 5 times less often than the first one, but involves similar addresses:

From another game, the same adresses:

Just checked and the errors started happening after on of the game updates.

Is there a way to check what LUA functions are calling the Java_com_ansca_corona JavaToNativeShim->nativeGetCoronaRuntime function?

Just received the more detailed report from Google Pixel 2 (looks like that devices are more debug friendly):

#00 pc 0000000000246f70 /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #01 pc 0000000000246f7d /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #02 pc 0000000000246fcf /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #03 pc 00000000002466f3 /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #04 pc 000000000024606b /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #05 pc 0000000000142d38 /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #06 pc 00000000001411a8 /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #07 pc 000000000008d4c0 /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/lib/arm/libcorona.so #08 pc 000000000002d07f /data/app/com.hawkgames.caseclicker2-GLnQXaqrT-DeM0\_WvS5Hwg==/oat/arm/base.odex (com.ansca.corona.JavaToNativeShim.nativeAbortShowingImageProvider [DEDUPED]+102) #09 pc 000000000001cc41 /dev/ashmem/dalvik-jit-code-cache (deleted)

So here’s how the functions look like now:

#00 \_\_gxx\_personality\_v0 #01 \_\_gxx\_personality\_v0 #02 \_\_gxx\_personality\_v0 #03 operator delete[](void\*) #04 sqrt(vlong, vlong) #05 CoronaExternalFormatBPP #06 CoronaExternalFormatBPP #07 JavaToNativeShim.nativeGetCoronaRuntime #08 JavaToNativeShim.nativeAbortShowingImageProvider

I would suggest two actions:

remove this plugin:

[“plugin.google.play.services”] = { publisherId = “com.coronalabs” },

This is the old AdMob plugin and is no longer supported by Google and is going to cause problems. It should not be used at all. This used to be a dependency for many other plugins, but that hasn’t been the case in a couple of years. If you are using AdMob you will either have to pay for the modern version of the plugin or use Appodeal.

This Vungle plugin is very, very old. Please update to the latest vungle plugin. Remove this:

[“CoronaProvider.ads.vungle”] = { publisherId = “com.vungle” , supportedPlatforms = { iphone = true, android = true } },

See: https://support.vungle.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003413891-Get-Started-with-Vungle-SDK-v-6-2-Corona

Update to at least 3326. You can’t submit to Google Play with any earlier version due to Android 8 support. We’ve addressed quite a few Android crashes. Consider the latest daily build.

Found the cause: the crashes happen randomly in the onComplete event in the audio.play function (even if the event callback is empty).

After removing it the crash rate dropped from ~3.5% of sessions to < 0.5%.

Don’t use the onComplete func until it’s fixed.

Can you create a simple example app that crashes during the onCompete call?
