Exception:

I receive this error on Samsung Devices:

• Samsung SM-N900A Galaxy Note 3
  
• Samsung SCH-I535 Galaxy S III
  
• Samsung GT-S6012B Galaxy Music Duos

I am guessing this is happening with the Interstitial ads, I dod not see my application in the StackTrace.

I think it appears when interstitial with video showing. It affected so many customers :(

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. Before I reach out to the rest of team about this, would you mind providing a bit more info?

- Which SDK version does this happen on?

- Are there any steps to help reproduce this?

Cheers,

Elton

[Jared Burrows]

Hello Elton,

 

This is happening with Google Play Services 7.5.0.

 

I'm sorry, I cannot produce this locally but I see it show up in my crash reports. It seems to affect older Samsung devices.

 

 

Regards,

Hello,

It's happening on my apps too

Some info:

- Using latest GooglePlay Services Available

- Crashes on Android 4.1 up to 5.0.2 (I'm targeting SDK 4.1+, so it maybe happens on older versions too)

- Devices sample:

--- Samsung GT I8190L

--- Samsung GT I9300

--- Samsung GT I9500

--- Samsung GT I9505

--- HUAWEI G610 U15

--- HUAWEI Y330 U15

--- LG LG-E410g

--- TCT ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 7040A

Hope this helps :)

For the stack traces provided, can you list the version of Google Play Services on the device and the version of Google Play services the application was compiled for.

[Jared Burrows]

Hey Ram,

 

I check for Google Play Services to enforce a version that would work(hopefully 7.5.0) and it was compiled with 7.5.0.

The Android SDK team will be including a fix in an upcoming release to prevent this crash from occurring.

- Ram

[Jared Burrows]

Thank you so much for looking into this. I am looking forward to this update.

[Giang.nh]

Hi Ram

Do you have anything new about this issue ? The number of crash is increasing dramatically these days.

Thanks

[Ram Parameswaran (Mobile SDK Team)]

We have started roll-out of a update to Google Play Services and this issue should no longer be present. Current roll-out is at 1%. 100% should be reached within 2 weeks.

- Ram

[Jared Burrows]

When you say "roll out", do you mean a new version of Google Play Services? 7.6.0?

[Ram Parameswaran (Mobile SDK Team)]

Yes, version 7.8 of Google Play Services is being pushed out.

- Ram

[Jared Burrows]

The actual Google Play Services app, version 7.8? Or do you mean the Gradle dependency? The current latest Google Play Services Gradle dependency is 7.5.0.

[Ram Parameswaran (Mobile SDK Team)]

I am referring to the Google Play Services app.
