Can't open app on android 4.0.4

[piernik]

Don't know weather it's cordova (3.2) issue or my device or ion but I can't open any app on android 4.0.4.
Here if forum post and test app http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/app-test-is-it-working/2327

[programming-kid]

yea i too had same issue i presume u are trying ionic seed app .??

[piernik]

Yes - did You find solution?

[programming-kid]

nope i just tried to create app manually and it worked , may be there is something wrong with seed app

try this http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/ see if it works , it worked for me

Does this have something to do with the lib folder missing perhaps? I read in the forums that you need to execute Gulp before trying to build & compile.

[piernik]

But I have lib folder, I can build release apk (which is signed) and it is still not working on android 4.0.4 and is working on android 4.1 and 2.3

[programming-kid]

yea it works on emulator running 2.3 but not on device running 4.0.4 its strange when i open the app i get black screen and later app exits .

I'm guessing this is an Ionicons bug I've seen with Android 4.0. Try removing ionicons entirely just to test if that's the issue or not. If so I'll dig more into what's the deal w/ Ionicons and Android 4.0, thanks.

I was able to replicate the crash on an Android 4.0 device. After slowly taking things away I was able to narrow it down to the following scenario:

1. Css selector with :after
2. Contains property display: -webkit-box;
3. Contains content property
4. Using an icon font

If I changed any of the above then my Android 4.0 browser did not crash. My fix involves not using flexbox to vertically align the nav icon, but instead using the simplified top:50% and a negative margin half the size of the icon (luckily in this case we know the size of the icon).

In my tests I wasn't able to crash the browser like before, but there could be other scenarios which also crash an app. Could I get this group to test out the latest nightly build (build 1520 or later):

Thanks

[piernik]

It works for me with nightly - great thanks.
But new issue came out - problem with virtual keyboard: #1020

[programming-kid]

works for me , actually it was working for me before too only things which was not working was ionic-seed ,

@adamdbradley Nightly solved it on 4.0.4 here, thanks! But as @piernik said - it introduced the keyboard issue.

[adamdbradley]

Closing this issue, and issue #1020 was recently closed too.

Not sure how related this is, but I cannot open the sample app after running the scaffolded sample app on Android 4.0.4

ionic start myApp sidemenu

After that I added the android platform and ran it. The phone screen turns black, and exits after about 7 secs back to the phones home screen. I do not see anything except black during this time.

Funnily enough, ionic start myApp tabs works just fine.
