5.3 build failing (Android)

[erjdriver]

My app used to build ok with 5.2.

I updated to 5.3 and Android build fails - ios build is ok.

Here's the dump:

@erjdriver can you provide a repo to reproduce the crash?

[erjdriver]

Unfortunately no.

But looking at the stack dump - I see the culprit is Caused by: java.lang.VerifyError: Cannot inherit from final class - does that help?

At the end it says run with --stacktrace --debug --scan - but tns build android doesn't take any of those options.

[vtrifonov]

And if you try with tns platform add [email protected] there's no problem?

[erjdriver]

no - I went back to [email protected] and worked.

If there's something I can do here to debug - please let me know.

[vtrifonov]

can you try deleting platforms folder and try to build again?

[apsaros]

Don't know if it's related to this issue, but I also have had problems building with 5.3.0 when it comes to --release builds. Well, the build works but when the app starts on the device (physical) it crashes on startup, giving some errors pointing to "android.content.pm.PackageManager$NameNotFoundException:"

iOS works perfect, and so do Android debug builds (virtual and physical device). I was able to successfully create a release build and run it on a physical device when downgrading to 5.2.1.

[vmutafov]

@apsaros could you provide a sample app which has the above mentioned problem or at least the full stacktrace? Also, this seems like a different issue, could you make a new Github one for it?

[apsaros]

@vmutafov yeah, sorry for the hijacking, I thought it might be related sine I can circumvent the issue by downgrading to 5.2.1 as @erjdriver. I've created a separate issue: #1341

[vmutafov]

Hey @erjdriver, could you test with android runtime 5.3.1?

[yoat]

I was able to debug on Android with 5.3.1 (after failing with 5.3.0 with the above "final class" error).

[vmutafov]

@yoat what do you mean by "able to debug"? Do you mean the problem which was present in 5.3.0 is now resolved in 5.3.1?

[yoat]

Yes @vmutafov, to be clear: this problem appears to be fixed for me. Building, deploying, and running the application on Android are all totally functional after updating to 5.3.1

[vmutafov]

@yoat thanks for the feedback :)
