Updating four games to 64 bit on Android

totebo · July 2019

Hello people! I've been a bit quiet recently, but I'm back to update my game before the August deadline. The first issue I bumped into is this:

Maybe I need to awaken the slumbering beast that is Android Studio to fix it?

I haven't seen that, I target version 29 - just made a player 10 seconds ago.

I think it's to do with the Crashlytics/Firebase plugin. I also target version 29.

@totebo you've got some pretty nice games! 5 stared!

totebo · July 2019

Thanks @MoKaLux! With luck I'll be able to update them too, so the Google Play Police doesn't remove them.

An update of Firebase plugin seems to have fixed the problem above. New problem:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/Users/niclasaberg/Desktop/No Brakes/tmp/app/build.gradle' line: 80
* What went wrong:

These are the plugins I'm using:

@totebo what does it say when you run your app with android studio, in the logs? You should see exactly where the bug is.

Not sure if it helps?

Update: Changing the Google Play Services from 12.0.1 to 16.0.0 seems to have worked. To be continued!

cool!

btw: in android studio:
1 - connect your phone using a usb cable or connect it via wifi
2 - open the log debugger (a tab somewhere at the bottom)
3 - you should see everything that happens on your phone logged
4 - run your app
5 - when it crashes you will have some red lines telling you what went wrong
6 - from there you can start debugging!

I use google's 'pre-launch reports' feature

---------------------------
Another way to test(without android studio):
- download ADB (Android Debug Bridge)

and run it through the command line:

C:/adb/adb logcat -> logcat.txt

@MoKaLux and @oleg, good advice. I used both those methods for debugging. All games are now live in the store and players have started to update to the latest versions.

Thanks @hgy29 for the help, I hope this blitz will help make Gideros even more rock solid for other people!

And @antix, the road is getting straighter and shorter.

The four updated games seem stable-ish, with this crash happening on three of the games (posting here for reference):

Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No config chosen
