The error states that gideros library is not found, and thus the app crashes. Can you check if you have libgideros.so in all armeabi folders?

unlying

Sure
I have that crash in many apps. I think that it is a reason why mine users have a black screen on application start.

ar2rsawseen

Please tell me that it is not random and you can reproduce it ? [-O<

unlying

I can't. But users can. I'm sure that it isn't random, because every day i have a mail or two about black screen on startup. And many crashes...

ar2rsawseen

Well unfortunately no matter from what angle we look at it, it's very hard to find a problem, without the option to reproduce it.

But what we decided to do, is to include some internal error/crash reporting to our own server for fixing purposes, which would allow us to gather anonymous information about device, etc.
Later on we can develop it to something more, displaying error reports also to premium users, for example

I will include it in the labs, once the first version is ready

I have crash reports from users. It seems that gideros / lua crash is not reported in the android developer console ? I checked the android crash report in the developer console but nothing shows up

ar2rsawseen

@bysreg not all crash reports are reported to developers console, for example when device is not connected to Internet. Or it was a serious crash breaking also the reporting mechanism.
And yes I think Lua errors are not completely reported, due to how Lua is handled internally, and we are reworking this mechanism so that Lua errors would also cause the proper crashes.

bysreg

what do you suggest me to do for now? because i have no idea what causes the crashes. should i use GiderosReporting, crashlytics, flurry?

bysreg

Anyone can give me an input for this?

ar2rsawseen

hmm, how did you hear of the crash in first place?

actually all, flurry crashlytics and GiderosReporting report more errors that are provided in Developer console. Because in developer console user actually need to submit the error report. While others simply send it.

Problem with flurry is, that it actually provide too little information about crashes.

I have not used Crashlytics, but lots of folks on the forum are praising it and
As GiderosReporting is still under development, I would probably suggest trying out Crashlytics first

bysreg

user emails and reviews. Okay, i have done googling for crashlytics and i stumbled upon the bowerhouse plugin for the iOS, too bad there is no android plugin for it yet. It seems you must write additional code to fetch the lua error. I have registered on their invitation list, but havent got a response.
