Crashes on Android

[Andrey Etherwind]

Got two crash reports from our users on the latest sdk (ima-android-sdk-beta8). Can't reproduce by myself.

Device: Huawei Ascend G510, Android 4.4.4, rooted
Stack trace:

One more crash.
Device: ZTE Blade III, Android 4.4.4, rooted
Stack trace same as the first.

[Bret McGowen]

Hi  Andrey,

Do you have any more information about the setup of these devices? Are there any relevant crash reports from non-rooted devices? When running on KitKat (API 19) and above devices the SDK is using WebView.evaluateJavascript but for pre-KitKat devices it should be using a previously available API method. The confusing part here is that the devices are reporting themselves as 4.4+ but that API doesn't seem to be available. We're having trouble reproducing the issue, so any additional environment/device data you could send us would be useful.

Cheers,

Bret McGowen

No. Got 4 crashes from 3 devices today. You are right.
Found explanation here https://plus.google.com/102445430941707435245/posts/EM2L7NxibJE

Thanks for the info Andy. We'll take a look and see if there's fix from on our end. The issue is that the two API methods behave slightly differently regarding encoding so we can't just go back to the previous version unilaterally.

Thanks,

Bret

Hi Andrey,

Thanks for the list of affected devices. We're still looking at the issue but please continue to update with any additional devices or any other information that might be helpful.

Thanks!

GT-I8150 (Samsung, cm_ancora)

Rooted device with custom ROM.

[Bret McGowen]

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the update. We believe we've identified a fix and plan to have it implemented in an upcoming release, but I don't have a timeline for release yet.

[Theo van den Bogaart]

For what it's worth I've gotten the same exception on a Huawei G525 Ascend with this custom ROM installed: http://www.needrom.com/download/mokee-os-android-4-4-4-kitkat-g525-u00/

The fix hasn't made it into release as of yet?

[Bret McGowen]

Hi Theo,

We have a fix identified and will be in the next release. Stay tuned to our release history page or subscribe to our release notes forum thread for updates.

Happy Holidays,
