ImportError: COMError from '_ctypes'

[Pranil Tankhiwale]

Hello all

I am a beginner at Python kivy

APK file creation was successful but app crashes on phone
adb logcat shows the below error, which is, I guess, a Windows specific error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'COMError' from '_ctypes' (/data/user/0/org.test.carwa/files/app/_python_bundle/modules/_ctypes.cpython-310.so)

Additional Python modules/libraries used in project: pyttsx3, speech_recognition

I am using "Kivy app to APK" Google Colab file (below mentioned link) for APK creation and a Windows OS laptop, with python 3.10.4 and kivy 2.2.0:

Please suggest a solution for this issue, as the app is very important for my project.

Thanks in advance.

As you suggest it looks like your app is trying to do something Windows specific.

If you look at the traceback you should see the source of the issue.
