Android-app: App crashes immediately if installed on SD card

[norweeg]

Version 2.3.0 crashes immediately if it is installed on the SD card, but functions normally otherwise. I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, uninstalling/reinstalling the app, and changing the database location in settings. I don't know where to find logs, otherwise I would include them. Device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with SD card, Android 9.

installed on the SD card

Are you talking about "adoptable storage"? Or is the old "move to SD card" still a thing?

[norweeg]

@di72nn move to SD card. Samsung disables the adoptable storage feature, unfortunately

[di72nn]

So far I wasn't able to test it on an emulator and I don't have any modern device with an SD card.

It seems that you'll have to get "logcat" output.

[norweeg]

@di72nn how do I do that?

[di72nn]

I guess the simplest option is to use Android Studio on a PC.
You'll also need to enable USB debugging on your Android device.
After that you apparently need to open any project (you can probably start a new project or "Import an Android code sample") in Android Studio and open the logcat tool window.

[norweeg]

@di72nn I'm going to need a little more guidance here. I am not an android developer, just a user trying to make a bug report. I have usb debugging enabled, I have android studio, but the instructions for logcat aren't doing it. There is no logcat where it says I should find it

[norweeg]

nevermind. I found another way, ironically from the pocket app's bug report instructions

[di72nn]

Native libraries are not available for some reason. There's a couple of reports like that in Google Play Console (all on Android 9 and 10).

Apparently there are some App Bundle related issues with native libraries when apps are moved to SD card.

@norweeg can you try installing the app from F-Droid? I'm pretty sure it should work ok.

[norweeg]

@di72nn the f-droid version works, but I'd rather not have two app stores... The bug report you linked is a duplicate of a fixed bug. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/127691101

Can a similar fix work for the Google play version?

[di72nn]

Apparently newer tools should be used to prepare next Google Play release.

Here are stacktraces for searchability.

this is now resolved. I accidentally moved my app to the SD card and didn't notice because the app is no longer crashing when moved to sd card
