Unable to start generated project on Android

[sparkymat]

I created a new project using:

motion create --template=motion-game HelloWorld
cd HelloWorld
rake android:device

I get the following error when it tries to run the app on the device (installation succeeded):

E com/yourcompany/helloworld: Exception raised: NoMethodError: undefined method `start' for #<Class:0x100aa6>

I am using motion-game 1.1.4 with Ruby 2.3.1 on Mac OS X 10.11.6

Edit:

The output of rake android:config is

api_version            : "23"

I have the exact same issue with the default project. As I believe sparkymat mentioned elsewhere, config/android.rb is missing a line of
app.package = 'com.example'
I corrected this issue, but then ran into the problem described above.

Tried on a few different devices:
Android: 4.4.4 gives a different error:
--------- beginning of main
--------- beginning of system
E/art ( 8478): Failed writing handshake bytes (-1 of 14): Broken pipe
E/art ( 8478): Throwing OutOfMemoryError "PushLocalFrame"
E/com/example( 8478): Java exception raised: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PushLocalFrame
Android 5 works correctly without errors.
Android 6 gives the original error (though emulation of Android 6 works properly)

Any thoughts?

@friendlyuis Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this issue.
Can you tell me more information to reproduce ? (ie, your android device name, etc)

[friendlyuis]

@Watson1978 it's a samsung s7 edge, what other information do you want?

[Watson1978]

@friendlyuis Thank you for helpful information!
I will try it with that device.
