Magisk Manager v7.3.5 (243) crash on Settings section

[xerta555]

Hi,

After having updating Magisk Manager from 7.3.4 to v7.3.5 version and Magisk from the 19.4 last Canary build to Magisk v20 (new version of today), Magisk Manager crash when i go in the Settings section.

Basicaly, Magisk Manager display it Settings window during arround 1 seconds and crash immediatly.

This issue happen even after having wype data for the Manager.

Apparently, from the logcat:
10-11 22:55:21.469 5892 9469 W PackageManager: Unknown permission android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE in package com.topjohnwu.magisk

logcat.txt

The FOREGROUND_SERVICE is an unknow permission..

My device:

• LG H870 (G6 Internal variant)
• Resurection Remix v5.8.5 (7.1.2)

The strange thing is that it seems to me that this service is already being used by other applications that I use on a daily basis without any problems.

If another logfile is needed, tell me i will send it here.

Tx in advance.

The bug lies in Google's AndroidX support library, I dunno how I can fix that...

[topjohnwu]

And also, the bug is not the unknown permission

Ah...it's a nuisance for all devices that will have an Android version lower than X

And also, the bug is not the unknown permission

From wich line in the logfile do u have see that?

@xerta555
AndroidX is the name of Google's official support library, it is not a specific Android version.
May you try this APK out?

Ah ok, about your apk it works again without crashing, i guess a second logcat file wouldn't be too much for you?

Just installed the last 20.1-59fd38bb (20001) Canary version from the Manager and rebooted my device, it continue to works like a charm.

[topjohnwu]

Hm? So the latest canary works, but not the release one? That's odd

The bug started to appear after I updated Magisk Manager to the latest version you released today (not Magisk itself).

[topjohnwu]

So please tell me what is working, you are confusing me.

1. v7.3.5 from the stable/beta channel
2. The one on the canary channel
3. The APK I just gave you the link to

[xerta555]

So please tell me what is working, you are confusing me.

Today i do theses steps:

• I check your Twitter and see your Update post concerning your v20
• I open Magisk Manager v7.3.4 (i was on the Canary channel)
• I didn't see the v20 Canary update available (for the Manager and for Magisk, nothing)
• I had to switch manually from the Canary channel to the Beta channel to see the 2 updates (for the Manager and for Magisk)
• I have updated Magisk Manager from the v7.3.4 to v7.3.5
• I have opened Magisk Manager v7.3.5
• I tried to go to the Settings section of Magisk Manager and it started crashing

[topjohnwu]

You don't need to tell me what you've done, please just test the 3 APKs and report which is working, which is not.

[xerta555]

The APK I just gave you the link to

This one works fine for me.

[xerta555]

I just have test the last apk from stable/beta channel, it crash on Settings section.

And the one on the Canary channel crash on Settings section too.

May you try this APK out?

[topjohnwu]

Just out of curiosity, what is changed in this that got rid of the crash? I did not have any problems with the current Canary on my Android 6.0.1 Nextbook Ares 8A tablet with the settings crashing the app.

[topjohnwu]

@martyfender I downgraded the recyclerview library

[torjohron]

It's not only on this device, same thing happened to me (s9). The Dropbox file solved the problem for me to :)

[topjohnwu]

@torjohron @xerta555 please re-download the official v7.3.5, I uploaded a new binary which fixes the issue

[torjohron]

Working now, tx!

[xerta555]

@topjohnwu The new official version of the Manager fix the issue for me too 🤗
