Crashing app (my own TKCompanionApp) after updates

marcoXbresciani · October 17, 2022, 5:56am

Hi all,
after the building setup update (if I’ve properly understood) of F-Droid and concurrent update of the version and libraries of my app (moved to React Native 0.68.3, NPM 8.19.2, NodeJS 16.17.1 and Android NDK r23c)adb, it seems I’m not able to run the downloaded version(s) anymore.
TKCompanionApp 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 crashes on startup when downloaded from F-Droid and using the locally-built APK, while debug mode works fine.

The error I see through ADB is something related to a missing Java class, but I have no idea why it’s missing… I mean, except updating the libraries I’ve not changed other things.

The “full” ADB error, with its surroundings:

Could someone help me with some hints?

Meanwhile, I’m going to bisect between 3.1.2 and 4.0.0 version to understand the mess I possibly did with RN update…

Thanks,

Marco

marcoXbresciani · October 25, 2022, 10:46am

Thanks @jackz. I think I’ve probably poorly migrated from RN 0.68.x to 0.69.x.

Unfortunately, I was so stupid to do that within two adjacent releases, instead of going step by step: I’ve done 0.68.2 to 0.68.3 and then 0.68.3 to 0.69.5 without doing an intermediate release for 0.68.3 only.
I think I have to fix a bunch of things in this part.
I’ve just updated the metadata to stick with the 3.1.2 version of my app, that works, while I’m trying to understand the migration to the 4.x.

marcoXbresciani · November 2, 2022, 4:54pm

I’ve tried gradlew clean build the revision 2f569906534d87ce805145f42a9bbc9dea7b473f and once installed through ADB, it’s not working (see above).
The same revision, ran as debug (a.k.a. npm run android) with actual phone connected, is working fine.

Where’s the error? Can someone help?

Licaon_Kter · November 3, 2022, 7:40am

Did you do a git bisect to track the exact commit that breaks it?

marcoXbresciani · November 3, 2022, 7:43am

Yes, twice. And found different results. (note for self: never try a bisect while attending work meetings…).

I’m going to try again in these days: unfortunately my lovely baby app is only an hobby so I need to find a bit of time.

marcoXbresciani · November 3, 2022, 3:09pm

Tried twice, again. Seems to be the upgrade to RN 0.69.5, for whatever reason:

I need to check the changes one by one and see. Or maybe update everything to its own latest version for good: I already have a 5.x branch with even React Native Paper update to the currenct 5.x RC. I’m just waiting for the official release.

marcoXbresciani · November 3, 2022, 8:06pm

There’s indeed something wrong with the update to RN 0.69.5.
I’ve followed the upgrade helper but there were, um, different differences.
I’ll probably create a new project, with latest RN 0.70.4 and then put the code there. And overwrite the project files.
Can’t understand the differences.
I’ll take time.

marcoXbresciani · November 4, 2022, 1:17pm

@Licaon_Kter I’m trying with this: TKCompanionApp: try to fix the issues with 4.x versions (!12032) · Merge requests · F-Droid / Data · GitLab
The APKs for 400 and 401 both run on my device, now.

marcoXbresciani · November 4, 2022, 3:34pm

I’ve solved by removing the RN 0.69.5 update commit.
Now there are two branches for 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 even if they are not currently available on F-Droid.
Let’s go for 5.0.0.
